getElementData error in setTimer

[BlockFighter]

Hi!

Can not I solve this bug to fix it?

Code:

setTimer(function()
	if getElementData(thePlayer, "asd.asd") then
		outputChatBox("asd", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true)
	end
end, 1000*3, 0)

It's simple, the debug tells you that thePlayer is nil -> it's not defined.

And how could it be defined on a server side?

[Dimos7]

setTimer(function(thePlayer )
	if getElementData(thePlayer, "asd.asd") then
		outputChatBox("asd", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true)
	end
end, 1000*3, 0)

It was not good, the error remained.

you need to supply 'thePlayer' as an argument to setTimer.

setTimer(function(thePlayer )
	if getElementData(thePlayer, "asd.asd") then
		outputChatBox("asd", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true)
	end
end, 1000*3, 0, thePlayer)

Still the same mistake.

Show the function / event where you set the timer. If that's all the code you have, do this:

 

setTimer(function( )
    for k, thePlayer in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
      if getElementData(thePlayer, "asd.asd") then
          outputChatBox("asd", thePlayer, 255, 255, 255, true)
      end
    end
end, 1000*3, 0)

Keep in mind this will always loop through all players. If you want to only run it for X players, you should tie it to an event / function and pass the in the player element as explained in the previous replies.

Thanks, this is already working!
