Need help !! getElementData

[rublisk19]

    function expcalculate ( source, command ) 
          setElementData(source, "EXP",tonumber(getElementData(source, "EXP"))+1) 
    end 
    setTimer(expcalculate, 20000,0) 

I get error : Bad argument @ 'getElementData' [Expected element ar argument 1, got nil]

attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

If you can pls fix this script to make working ;] . I need this to get exp every 20sec!!

client-side

function expcalculate () 
          setElementData(localPlayer, "EXP",tonumber(getElementData(localPlayer, "EXP"))+1) 
end 
setTimer(expcalculate, 20000,0)

Where is the element? source ?

If you are in client side you can try

  
function expcalculate () 
          setElementData(getLocalPlayer(), "EXP",tonumber(getElementData(getLocalPlayer(), "EXP"))+1) 
end 
setTimer(expcalculate, 20000,0) 
  

And if you are in server side...

You must have an player

  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function() 
for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType ( "player" )) do 
setTimer(expcalculate, 20000, 0, player) 
end 
end) 
  
function expcalculate(player) 
setElementData(player, "EXP",tonumber(getElementData(player, "EXP"))+1) 
end 
  

[TAPL]

  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
function() 
setTimer(expcalculate, 20000, 0) 
end) 
  
function expcalculate() 
for i, player in ipairs(getElementByType("players")) do 
setElementData(player, "EXP",tonumber(getElementData(player, "EXP"))+1) 
end 
end

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), 
function() 
for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType ( "player" )) do 
setTimer(expcalculate, 20000, 0, player) 
end 
end) 
  
function expcalculate(player) 
setElementData(player, "EXP",tonumber(getElementData(player, "EXP"))+1) 
end 
  

Thanks Works good ;]

does it work good if you rejoin to the server? lol

TAPL your script doesn't work ;[ and fatal i get error then i reconnect

[Castillo]

local timers = {} 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",resourceRoot, 
function() 
    for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType ( "player" )) do 
        timers[player] = setTimer(expcalculate, 20000, 0, player) 
    end 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",root, 
function () 
    timers[source] = setTimer(expcalculate, 20000, 0, source) 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit",root, 
function () 
    if isTimer(timers[source]) then 
         killTimer(timers[source]) 
    end 
end) 
  
function expcalculate(player) 
    if (not player and isTimer(timers[player])) then killTimer(timers[player]) timers[player] = nil end 
    if (not getElementData(player, "EXP")) then setElementData(player, "EXP", 0) end 
    setElementData(player, "EXP",tonumber(getElementData(player, "EXP"))+1) 
end
