Well what the problem is that "function normalworld ( robber )" does not know who to release from jail. Is there anything i can change which will make it know who to release? Thank you. Im tired right now if im not making much sense

Modify the setTimer lines so the fourth argument is the player being jailed.

  
setTimer ( normalworld, 90000, 1 , robber) 
  

Also, you made some unrelated grammatical mistakes...

should of -> should have

You'r -> You're or You are

Other than that, this is good for a relative newcomer, keep it up.

Sorry to double post but if i dont people wont reply...

Other than making a new topic i think its a better idea just to ask for help on this one

Can anyone please post an example of a working SQL ingame with money and player names (With working query's for setplayermoney (or w.e it is) ) , yes ive tried it and it fails.. im too embarresd to even post it on the forums lol. Any way, anyone who can help is a legend

Wrong... New topic = new topic, IMO...

As for SQL, what I did (that makes the job significantly easier) was download a little something called SQLite Administrator. It lets you create tables in the database with a GUI instead of cocking around with long complicated CREATE TABLE lines.

For the code itself, there are already plenty of examples on the wiki, which you need to learn to use properly. Search functions, the list of functions...

What do you mean?

This is my bank resource which queries SQL tables: https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.html?p ... ails&id=54
