killTimer / setTimer

addEventHandler('onGamemodeMapStart',getRootElement(), 
function() 
killTimer (votetime) 
local votetime = setTimer ( happen, 240000, 1 ) 
end) 

Hi

i want to start a function on the start of a map. I know my script does not work, because I set the "votetime"variable after the killTimer-function. But how can I make it that a timer is created before the map, but the previous timer is also destroyed at mapstart?

I'm not sure if I understand, you want to set a timer when a map starts, and if the timer was already started, kill it?

addEventHandler('onGamemodeMapStart',getRootElement(), 
function() 
    if isTimer(votetime) then 
        killTimer (votetime) 
    end 
    local votetime = setTimer ( happen, 240000, 1 ) 
end)
