[Help] Set and get Data

[MAB]

why the fuel isn't going down?! am i using the data wrong?

*NOTE: this isn't the full script it is just the function that the error is in..

function updateFuel() 
local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle( localPlayer ) 
                   if isPedInVehicle ( localPlayer ) then 
                      if getVehicleEngineState ( veh ) == true then 
                         CurrentFuelValue = getElementData(veh,"Fuel")  
                         NewFuelValue   = CurrentFuelValue - 1 
                         timer = setTimer ( setElementData, 10*1000, 0, veh, "fuel", tonumber(NewFuelValue) ) 
                       end 
                      if getVehicleEngineState ( veh ) == false then 
                         if timer then 
                            killTimer ( timer ) 
                          end 
                       end 
                    end 
 if (CurrentFuelValue==0) then 
  setVehicleEngineState(veh,false) 
 end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onClientRender", getLocalPlayer(), updateFuel)

What is the error?

[GTX]

Timer inside onClientRender event? No, no, no. You know this isn't going to work.

[MAB]

so what you suggest to do?

[MAB]

the error is the fuel isn't going down

Use getTickCount

[Gr0x]

lastTick = 0 
function updateFuel() 
    if isPedInVehicle ( localPlayer ) then 
        local veh = getPedOccupiedVehicle( localPlayer ) 
        if getVehicleEngineState ( veh ) == true then 
            CurrentFuelValue = getElementData(veh,"Fuel") 
            if (CurrentFuelValue == 0) then 
                setVehicleEngineState(veh,false) 
                return 
            end 
            if getTickCount() - lastTick <= 10000 then 
                lastTick = getTickCount() 
                setElementData(veh,"Fuel",CurrentFuelValue-1) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ("onClientRender", getLocalPlayer(), updateFuel)
