'roblox LUA Expected 'end' (to close 'than' at line 3), got '='

function teleportTo(placeCFrame)
    local plyr = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
    if plyr.Character then
        return plyr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = placeCFrame; 
    end
end

teleportTo(game:GetService("Workspace").game:GetService("Workspace").Zeppelin.FuelTank1.Tank.CFrame)

The error is telling you what is going on.

When the code was being interpreted line by line, it expected the next symbol to be end, but instead it got =.

That means that something about how you're using the equals sign is incorrect. So when we look at the line :

return plyr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = placeCFrame

You cannot assign a value on the same line as a return command. return is used to pipe a value out of a function so it can be used where the function was called.

But I'm pretty sure that isn't what you intended, you just want to set a player's position. So to fix your issue, remove the return.

if plyr.Character then
    plyr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = placeCFrame
end

The reason you are getting an error is because = is usually defined as setting a value, and no code can be executed after a return or it will error

If you wanted to, you could add return after all the code is done executing
