How to know what element/player to put and setting timer

[micheal1230]

i want to know what element to put when your using functions and how to find out what one also how can you set timers to lines of code for example

  
-- THiS IS A EXAMPLE OF THE TIMER THING! 
-- Ignore the random stuff like hasHeDied. This is just trying to help you understand me  
function test() 
      local test = hasHeDied 
      if ( test == true ) then 
      setTimer(spawnPlayer,0,0,0), 5000, 0) 
      end 
end

What do you mean?

I want to know how you know what element to put cuz sometimes i put player then people tell me its source im like how do you know that? Also how can i set a timer to a line of code like in the example

[TAPL]

function test() 
      setTimer(spawnPlayer,5000,1,source,x,y,z) -- change x,y,z to the pos 
end 
addEventHandler ("onPlayerWasted",root,test) 

The source of this event is the player that died or got killed.

remember that when you use spawnPlayer you will need to use setCameraTarget too.

Note: setCameraTarget must be used to focus on the player. Also, all players have their camera initially faded out after connect. To ensure that the camera is faded in, please do a fadeCamera after
