malformed if statement, pls help!!!

[Tatum_vt]

hii I'm really new at this, and I wrote a line of code, where I get the error:
Script: PlayerState_Attack_Stab at line 4 : malformed if statement
But I don't see what's wrong, pls help!!

my code:




//Start of the attack
if (sprite_index != sPlayerS);
{
sprite_index = sPlayerS;
image_index = 0;
ds_list_clear (hitByAttack);
}

//Use attack bitbox & check for hits
mask_index =sPlayerSHB;

if (sprite_index != sPlayerS);

Remove the ; from the end. ; does not belong at the end of an if, for, while, etc statements.

Semicolons have no right to exist after the closing parenthesis of an if statement.

You can look up the correct syntax in the manual: https://docs2.yoyogames.com/source/_build/3_scripting/3_gml_overview/14_language_features.html
