Roblox Combat System Script - Syntax Error: Expected ')' to Close '(' at Line 7), Got ','

Question

This is the script I'm using. Got It from this YouTube video:
.
I've checked and tried to solve this multiple times, can't find my mistake.

Roblox Studio PrtScrn:

local RP = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Combat = RP:WaitForChild("Combat")

local Animations = script:WaitForChild("Animations")

local anims = 
    (
        Animations:WaitForChild("RightPunch"), -- error is here.
        Animations:WaitForChild("LeftKnee"),
        Animations:WaitForChild("LeftPunch"),
        Animations:WaitForChild("RightKnee"),
        Animations:WaitForChild("StrongKick"),
    )

Combat.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,count)
    local Character = player.Character
    local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    
    local Attack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anims[count])
    Attack:Play()
    
    Combat:FireClient(player)
end)

Accepted Answer

Lua tables are created using the table constructor {}.

The error message is caused by local anims = (Animations:WaitForChild("RightPunch"),

because (expr, is invalid syntax. You cannot have a comma separated list inside parentheses ().

Instead of the expected ) Lua will find a , and complain about it.

But you shouldn't use ( in the first place so that error is just a symptom of your actual mistake.

So the thought process here is:

Why does Lua want me to put a ) where I need a , to separate table items ? And why should that ) close ( in line 7? I don't need ( there, this is not how you create a table.
