I need to use continue in a loop in LUA

I tried this:
Code: 
dofile(getDataDir() .. "actions/scripts/quests.lua")

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
    local mins = 60
    local hours = 60 * 60
    local days = 24 * 60 * 60
    print("----------")
    print(mins, hours, days)
    local time = os.time()
    local final = ''
    -- We are looping from 8000 to 8005, so those are the storages that we will check.
    for q, quest in pairs(zexus_quest_list) do
        print(q)
        local storage = quest -- In this local we get the information, for example if q is equal to 8000 and you print storage.name you will get "Sabre Rook".
        local str = ''



        -- don't show everything, only exausted one, cause there are a lot of quests
        if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q) < 0 then
            -- str = 'You have never done '..storage.name..' quest! Time to get to it.'
            goto continue
        elseif time - getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q) >= 0 then
            -- str = 'You can now do '..storage.name..' quest again!'
            goto continue



        if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q) - time > days then
            str = 'You must wait '.. math.ceil(((getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q)) - time) / days) ..' days to do the '..storage.name..' quest again.'
        elseif getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q) - time > hours then
            str = 'You must wait '.. math.ceil(((getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q)) - time) / hours) ..' hours to do the '..storage.name..' quest again.'
        else
            str = 'You must wait '.. math.ceil(((getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q)) - time) / mins) ..' minutes to do the '..storage.name..' quest again.'
        end
        final = final .. "[" .. storage.name .. "]: " .. str .. "\n\n"

        ::continue::
    end
    doShowTextDialog(cid, 2175, final)
    return true
end

but recive this error:
Code: 
[14:19:31.152] [Error - LuaInterface::loadFile] data/talkactions/scripts/quests.lua:22: '=' expected near 'continue'
[14:19:31.152] [Warning - Event::loadScript] Cannot load script (data/talkactions/scripts/quests.lua)
[14:19:31.152] data/talkactions/scripts/quests.lua:22: '=' expected near 'continue'

what should i do? :(

You're just missing the end keyword after the last goto continue

u mean to use this?
Code: 
dofile(getDataDir() .. "actions/scripts/quests.lua")

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
    local mins = 60
    local hours = 60 * 60
    local days = 24 * 60 * 60
    print("----------")
    print(mins, hours, days)
    local time = os.time()
    local final = ''
    -- We are looping from 8000 to 8005, so those are the storages that we will check.
    for q, quest in pairs(zexus_quest_list) do
        print(q)
        local storage = quest -- In this local we get the information, for example if q is equal to 8000 and you print storage.name you will get "Sabre Rook".
        local str = ''



        -- don't show everything, only exausted one, cause there are a lot of quests
        if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q) < 0 then
            -- str = 'You have never done '..storage.name..' quest! Time to get to it.'
            goto continue
        elseif time - getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q) >= 0 then
            -- str = 'You can now do '..storage.name..' quest again!'
            goto continue
        end


        if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q) - time > days then
            str = 'You must wait '.. math.ceil(((getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q)) - time) / days) ..' days to do the '..storage.name..' quest again.'
        elseif getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q) - time > hours then
            str = 'You must wait '.. math.ceil(((getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q)) - time) / hours) ..' hours to do the '..storage.name..' quest again.'
        else
            str = 'You must wait '.. math.ceil(((getPlayerStorageValue(cid, q)) - time) / mins) ..' minutes to do the '..storage.name..' quest again.'
        end
        final = final .. "[" .. storage.name .. "]: " .. str .. "\n\n"

        ::continue::
    end
    doShowTextDialog(cid, 2175, final)
    return true
end

because still the problem on line 22:

Code: 
[16:26:17.343] [Error - LuaInterface::loadFile] data/talkactions/scripts/quests.lua:22: '=' expected near 'continue'
[16:26:17.343] [Warning - Event::loadScript] Cannot load script (data/talkactions/scripts/quests.lua)

The error message tells you that the error is in script named quests.lua.
Your code loads and executes a quest.lua script, and then defines a function.

Are you sure that you are looking for the error in the right script?

Ah, ok. I assume that line 22 is where the first 'goto continue' is, then. I can't see any syntax error around there.
Which version of Lua are you using?

print(_VERSION)

prints:

Lua 5.1

According to the Lua history it seems that the goto statement was introduced in version 5.2.
The error message is not clear at all, but the problem is most likely this.

Perhaps the interpreter assumes that 'goto' is a variable name and infers that the statement 'goto continue' is
an assignment where the '=' is missing (as in 'goto=continue'), hence the strange error message.

how can i fix this?

i was using 5.1

i tried to sudo apt-get install lua5.2


and change my Makefile editing every lua5.1 to lua5.2:
