Why do you expect it to generate string with 5 characters if you only want it to generate string with 1 or 2 characters? Make a separate function for generating string. Also, is the string going to be the same for everyone? If so, why don't you make a global variable?

function generateRandomString( charsCount )
local str = "";
for i = 1, charsCount do
local c = string.char( math.random( 100, 122 ) );
if i % 2 == 1 then c = string.upper( c ); end
       str = str .. c;
end
return str;
end
 
addCommandHandler( "reac",
function( _, _, count )
       WIN_WORD = generateRandomString( tonumber( count ) or 5 ); -- eg. "/reac 6" to generate 6 characters string
outputChatBox("Reaction: Type '".. WIN_WORD .."' if u want to win $10000",getRootElement(),0,255,0);
end, true -- restricted for admins only (you'll need to update ACL to restrict it)
);
 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerChat", getRootElement(),
function( msg, msgType )
if msgType == 0 then
if WIN_WORD and msg == WIN_WORD then
               WIN_WORD = nil;
outputChatBox( getPlayerName( source ) .. " has won $10000 for quick reflex!", getRootElement(), 0, 255, 0 );
givePlayerMoney( source, 10000 );
end
end
end
)

all works fine like i wanted, thanks. just one problem that dosnt matter cause worked when i deleted somthing,

this dosnt works like that O_o

addCommandHandler( "reac",
function( _, _, count )
       WIN_WORD = generateRandomString( tonumber( count ) or 5 ); -- eg. "/reac 6" to generate 6 characters string
outputChatBox("Reaction: Type '".. WIN_WORD .."' if u want to win $10000",getRootElement(),0,255,0);
end, true -- restricted for admins only (you'll need to update ACL to restrict it)
);

but works like this,

addCommandHandler( "reac",
function( _, _, count )
       WIN_WORD = generateRandomString( tonumber( count ) or 5 ); -- eg. "/reac 6" to generate 6 characters string
outputChatBox("Reaction: Type '".. WIN_WORD .."' if u want to win $10000",getRootElement(),0,255,0);
end
);

Do you think I'd put a comment on that line without any reason?

Why resource if it's player who is using this command? Check ACL again and see how other commands are blocked in "Default" and unblocked in "Admin".

Because your setTimer is set to repeat itself over and over again until you stop it (killTimer).

Why don't you test?

actually i did it but it works just once the timer.

"once the timer" what? You made your life so complicated... You have so many different variables from setTimer's... What's the point if you need only 1 timer at a time?

Line 3: Why do you still have that timer set to repeat over and over again if you kill it later in the script?

Line 3: Why do you assign new value to start if you have function with the same name? It overrides your function which disables your script after first call.

Line 16: What's the point for _, _, in the parameters list if you don't attach this function to a command like I did before?

BTW, 5 mins is not 500000ms... calculate it again and think over your script again. You made your life much harder.
