Firstly you should be indenting

Secondly, you have two "else" statements for one "if" statement, you can't do that :P

Thirdly, you have one too many "end" statements
loop 
	local enemy = self:findNearestEnemy()
	local distance = self:distanceTo(enemy)

	if distance < 5 then 
		self:attack(enemy)
	else
		self:shield()
	--else   [YOU CAN'T HAVE TWO ELSE'S]
		self:moveXY(41, 34)
		
	end 
	--end    [TOO MANY END STATEMENTS]
end

Why there are 3 ends? Only one is needed, unless you didn't post whole code

you can't have 2 elses with one if xD

if condition then

code...

elseif condition2

other code...

else

last case

end
