Hi there, there are a few problems with your code.

Firstly timers have to be declared in a function, your best bet is to do that in a function linked to the onResourceStart Event

Secondly you cannot call the variable 'source' unless it is from an event. Info: Source

That's not true. You can call setTimer anywhere and anytime you want. Even when it's in the body of your script.

huh never knew that... but it's just as good to put it in a function handling onResourceStart...

and what is the source of your function? i think that function cant gets the source of function (sounds not good ) so thats why you have a warning..

May be you should get all players on server and get their account datas?

Something like this:

function test () 
    for k,players in ipairs (getElementsByType("players")) do 
        local account = getClientAccount ( players ) 
        if not isGuestAccount (account) then 
            local job = getAccountData ( account, "Job" ) 
            local team = getAccountData ( account, "Team" ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
setTimer ( test, 10000, 1 )
