Stopping the Timer [setTimer()]

[heroes9898]

Is there any way to stop a timer?

something like that?

  
setTimer( 
    function() 
        if getPlayerMoney(client) >= 1200 then 
            --do sth. 
        else 
            --[b][color=#FF0000]break[/color][/b] ? 
            --[b][color=#FF0000]return[/color][/b] ? 
            --[b][color=#FF0000]...[/color][/b] ? 
        end 
    end, 1000, [b][color=#FF0000]0[/color][/b] 
)

setTimer returns a timer pointer which can be used to kill a timer with the function killTimer:

local timer = setTimer( ... ) 
killTimer(timer)

But I need to stop an undefined timer in its function.

Why not simply define it? That's how lua works basically:

local globalTimer1 = setTimer( 
function() 
    if getPlayerMoney(client) >= 1200 then 
        -- Do somethnig here 
    else 
        -- Kill timer 
        killTimer(globalTimer1) 
    end 
end, 1000, 0) 

You may be able to use "break" as well, never tried it myself even thought that's how you kill a timer in other languages.
