Ob thanks .. It should be right this:

setTimer ( 3000 ) 
destroyElement = ( myEffect ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("effectoff") 

????

[TwiX!]

function rObject() 
    setTimer( function() destroyElement(myEffect) end, 3000, 0 ); 
end 
addCommandHandler("effectoff",rObject); 

[myonlake]

Or then just do this.

addCommandHandler("effectoff", 
    function(player, cmd) 
        setTimer(destroyElement, 3000, 0, myeffect) 
    end 
) 

Doesn't really matter how.

[Elmatus]

The final code was this:

function createTheGate () 
   myGate = createObject ( 18483, -783.20001220703, 2597.1999511719, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 83.984985351563 )  
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource () ), createTheGate ) 
  
function openMyGate () 
   moveObject ( myGate, 500, -781.20001220703, 2624.8000488281, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 0 )        
   myEffect = createObject ( 2780, -783.90002441406, 2660.5, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 0 ) 
   setTimer ( function() destroyElement (myEffect) end, 3000, 0 ); 
end 
addCommandHandler("opengate",openMyGate)   
  
function movingMyGateBack () 
   moveObject ( myGate, 500, -783.20001220703, 2597.1999511719, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 0 )   
end 
addCommandHandler("closegate",movingMyGateBack)  

The door opens,the somoke appears, the smoke disappears, BUT, in the consolo say this repeatedly:

WARNIG: beta\testsmoke.lua:9: Bad Argument @ 'destroyElement' [Expected element at argument 1]

I dont know why appears, the scrip works perfect, bug that appears in console many times

[Mossy]

[Expected element at argument 1]

Try:

function createTheGate () 
   myGate = createObject ( 18483, -783.20001220703, 2597.1999511719, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 83.984985351563 ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource () ), createTheGate ) 
  
function openMyGate () 
   moveObject ( myGate, 500, -781.20001220703, 2624.8000488281, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 0 )       
   myEffect = createObject ( 2780, -783.90002441406, 2660.5, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 0 ) 
   setTimer ( function() end, 3000, 0 )  
   destroyElement (myEffect) 
end 
addCommandHandler("opengate",openMyGate)   
  
function movingMyGateBack () 
   moveObject ( myGate, 500, -783.20001220703, 2597.1999511719, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 0 )   
end 
addCommandHandler("closegate",movingMyGateBack) 

You're missing an argument at line 7, check it out.

[Elmatus]

I dont see the diference in you line 7 and my line 7

I tryed your script and its de same

[myonlake]

local originalX = -783.20001220703 
local originalY = 2597.1999511719 
local originalZ = 104.09999847412 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        myGate = createObject(18483, originalX, originalY, originalZ, 0, 0, 83.984985351563) 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler("opengate", 
    function () 
        moveObject(myGate, 500, -781.20001220703, 2624.8000488281, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 0)       
        myEffect = createObject(2780, -783.90002441406, 2660.5, 104.09999847412, 0, 0, 0) 
        setTimer(destroyElement, 3000, 1, myEffect) 
    end 
) 
  
addCommandHandler("closegate", 
    function() 
        moveObject(myGate, 500, originalX, originalY, originalZ, 0, 0, 0)   
    end 
)

Why do you set a timer with infinite number of executes? This is the reason why you get them all messages, first time the object gets deleted and then each destroyElement call will fail because myEffect is not a valid object any more. Check the setTimer parameters again.

Right, didn't pay attention to that.
