setTimer - how does it work?

[Galton]

edit: I can get it to work with addCommandHandler now. I still don't know how it works with events though. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could explain.

fixed code with addEventHandler:

function delayedKill (player) 
setTimer ( 
function () killPed(player) end, 
1500, 1)  
end 
  
addCommandHandler ("test1", delayedKill) 

[Guest]

function asd(Player, Command) 
setTimer(killPed,2000,1,Player) 
end 
addCommandHandler("test1",asd) 

[Galton]

function asd(Player, Command) 
setTimer(killPed,2000,1,Player) 
end 
addCommandHandler("test1",asd) 

thanks for the answer. it's shorter than mine and it works. your example is a much better way to do it.

[Enargy,]

function delayedKill (player) 
setTimer ( 
function () killPed(player) end, 
1500, 1) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("test1", delayedKill) 

function asd(Player, Command) 
setTimer(killPed,2000,1,Player) 
end 
addCommandHandler("test1",asd) 

Is the same practically.

I recommend this:

function delayedKill (player,command) -- player = you, command = "test1" 
    setTimer (function ()  
        if isElement(player) then -- Players can leave during the timer, which will give you warning if this happens. 
            killPed(player)  
        end 
    end,1500, 1) 
end 
addCommandHandler ("test1", delayedKill) 

As scripter you don't want warnings during execute your code.

Warnings = lagg and fill up your server logs.

thank you both. I really appreciate your help.
