conky: [string "..."]:139: attempt to index local 'settings' (a nil value)

[Trekerj]

Issue I'm trying to add a lua script to my conky. when I add the last two lines to my existing conky.conifg I get the following in the terminal: "conky: Syntax error (/home/jack/bin/.conkyrc_ctr:38: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 2) near 'lua_draw_hook_post') while reading config file. conky: Assuming it's in old syntax and attempting conversion. conky: [string "..."]:139: attempt to index local 'settings' (a nil value)"

With out the call for the lua script the conky runs fine.

Information I very new to linux so my system is a new install of Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS conky version is 1.10.8, this is the only version I've installed, so I don't believe i need to convert it to the new syntax (but what do i know). Appreciate any help, thanks. conky: conky.config = { update_interval = 1, cpu_avg_samples = 2, net_avg_samples = 2, out_to_console = false,

The lua script is ;luascript1.lua test is attached: luascript1.txt

You may be missing commas. See if that's the case.
