Tutorial how to tab scripts, but it also explains some of the basics like closing functions and if statements.

You have to close a function with end, you did this correct. The return true is also correct.
But the end above that doesn't close anything, so remove that

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
     doRemoveSummons(cid)
     end
     return true
end

So it should be like this.

function onCastSpell(cid, var)
     doRemoveSummons(cid)
     return true
end

I called the function I posted doRemoveSummon btw. So remove the s or add the s to the function.

You do have to add the function aswell.

local function doRemoveSummon(cid)
     for _, m in pairs(getCreatureSummons(cid)) do
         if getCreatureName(m) == "Dragon" then
             doRemoveCreature(m)
         end
     end
     return true
end

You can add it above function onCastSpell(cid, var).

Or you can also add it in global.lua, but then you have to remove local.

Hey, can i make the summoned monster look exactly like me even when i change my outfit?

You can use doCreatureChangeOutfit.

doCreatureChangeOutfit(m, getCreatureOutfit(cid))
