[undefined]

player_tbl = {
	index = {
		in_zone = false,
		
		zombie_proof = false,
		
		zombies = {},
		zombie_limit = 60,
		
		create_zombie = function(player)
			outputChatBox("test")

			local zombie_count = 0
			while zombie_count < 3 do
				triggerClientEvent ("find_spawn_location", player.element)
				zombie_count = zombie_count + 1

	},
	
	players = {}
}

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, function()
	for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
		local self = setmetatable({
			element = player
		},
		{
			__index = player_tbl.index
		})
		
		table.insert(player_tbl.players, self)
		
		Timer(function(self)
			self:create_zombie() -- this line
			--self.create_zombie(self) -- or this line
		end, 10000, 0, self)
	end
end)
