    setTimer ( clearChat, 60000*5, 1 ) 
    cleared = 1 
    end 
end 
  
function clearChat() 
    done=0 
    cleared = 0 
    while done<=200 do 
    outputChatBox("",0,0,0,false) 
    done = done+1 
    end 
    setTimer ( timer, 1, 1 ) 
end

Not Tested !

local check = 0 
  
addEventHandler ( 'onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, function ( ) 
    while check == 0 do 
        triggerEvent ( 'onChatClear', root, clear ) 
        check = 1 
    end 
end ) 
  
function clear ( ) 
    local done = 0 
    while done <= 200 do 
        outputChatBox ( '', root ) 
        done = done + 1 
    end 
    setTimer ( function ( ) 
        check = 0  
    end, 60000 * 5, 1 ) 
end 
addEvent ( 'onChatClear', true ) 
addEventHandler ( 'onChatClear', root, clear )

@Pαίй

Your code executes it just once

@adithegman

Try this:

setTimer( 
    function() 
        for i = 1,200 do 
            outputChatBox' ' 
        end 
    end,300000,0 
) 

You should remember that if this is clientside, chat won't be cleared at the same time for everyone.

not working... working just when start the resource

not working... working just when start the resource

Have your tried my code?:

setTimer( 
    function() 
        for i = 1,200 do 
            outputChatBox' ' 
        end 
    end,300000,0 
) 

Wait for 5 minutes after starting the resource.
