I cant kill this Timer why?

[Eistee]

function () 
outputChatBox ("bla bla", source, 255, 0, 0, false) 
killTimer (timer1) 
end 
  
  
  
function (player) 
    timer1 = setTimer ( function() 
        outputChatBox ("miau miau", source, 255, 0, 0, false) 
    end, 5000, 1 ) 
end 

I like to kill the timer "timer1" before it starts.

So, before 5 seconds pass, the timer 1 should be killed.

Error: WARNING: points\core_s.lua:150: Bad argument @ 'killTimer' [Expected lua-timer at argument 1, got nil]

[lua]

function hi()

outputChatBox ("bla bla", source, 255, 0, 0, false)

if isTimer(timer1) then

killTimer (timer1)

end

end

function (player)

timer1 = setTimer ( function()

outputChatBox ("miau miau", source, 255, 0, 0, false)

end, 5000, 1 )

end

hi()

local timer1 
function () 
outputChatBox ("bla bla", source, 255, 0, 0, false) 
if isTimer(timer1) then 
killTimer (timer1) 
end 
end 
  
  
  
function (player) 
    timer1 = setTimer ( function() 
        outputChatBox ("miau miau", source, 255, 0, 0, false) 
    end, 5000, 1 ) 
end

You can't kill a timer before it's created, secondly the third argument (1) in the creation of your timer will kill it automatically. If you want to kill it before as some kind of interrupt you need to make a command handler for your first function and give it a name, as it is now the kill function will be executed as soon you start the resource.

Oh ye thank you

How can i fix this? :

        setTimer ( function() 
            if isTimer(timer1) then 
                killTimer ( timer1 ) 
            elseif  isTimer(timer2) then 
                killTimer ( timer2 ) 
            elseif  isTimer(timer3) then 
                killTimer ( timer3 ) 
            elseif  isTimer(timer4) then 
                killTimer ( timer4 )                 
            end, 1000, 1 ) 
        end

By ending the function you have within your timer of course.

setTimer ( function() 
    if isTimer(timer1) then 
        killTimer ( timer1 ) 
    elseif  isTimer(timer2) then 
        killTimer ( timer2 ) 
    elseif  isTimer(timer3) then 
        killTimer ( timer3 ) 
    elseif  isTimer(timer4) then 
        killTimer ( timer4 )                 
    end 
end, 1000, 1 )
