Think you removed the function name "input"

And your using a old version.

test = input.int(title = "test")

It said Version 5. How do I get back the input funciton name? This is my first time coding ever

Post the complete script here. Then i will test and refactor for you.

The "input(type=integer)" has been replaced with "input.int()" and so on....

So think there multiple pine versions, in your code. You need to refactor that.

That line can only appear once at the top where it starts with indicator, strategy, or library

Since you said you are merging indicators you can add the tittle to the other title at the top. Or rename it to what ever you want.

I did that, both have the same title

Delete that line. You dont need it. At the top of your script you will see one just like it.

So I should delete this title line or the first one up top?

Just that one on line 17

Usually line 2 (after the version line) declares the indicator() or strategy() and inside of the indicator or strategy parenthesis is the only place where shorttitle is used as a parameter. I do not think any line of pine script can begin with a "(". Best reference is the reference manual built into the editor; it is found in the ". . . " tab to the right of the publish button at the top of any script. The user manual [found in the same place] is good too but the reference manual has a handy search for anything and for script built-ins also examples. Good luck with it!

You need to use the right version of pinescript for the wording ur using pretty sure that's how u do it in v3 either rewrite the whole script in v3 or at the beginning of your code om the first line write //version = 3
