Help: setTimer Problem?

[Hadif]

Script:

function theLocator() 
    local allLocation = {"Las Venturas",  
    "San Fierro",  
    "Whetstone",  
    "Flint County",  
    "Red County",  
    "Los Santos"} 
    local theLocation = getElementZoneName(source, true) 
    for theKey, allLocation in pairs(allLocation) do 
        if (theLocation == allLocation) then 
            killPed(source) 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function checkLocation() 
    setTimer(theLocator(source), 0, 0) 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerSpawn", getRootElement(), checkLocation) 

Result:

Bad argument @ 'setTimer' [Expected function at argument 1, got nil] 

[LabiVila]

 setTimer ( 
    function () 
        theLocator () 
    end, 0, 0 
) 
  

[Perfect]

setTimer ( 
    function () 
        theLocator () 
    end, 0, 0 
) 
  

You don't need to add a function statement for function inside a timer and also you don't need to add even parenthesis of a function inside a timer. If the function has arguments then you can declare them later.

@

You are assigning an argument to an argumentless function.

  
function checkLocation() 
    setTimer(theLocator(source), 0, 0) -- There are no arguments in theLocator 
end 
  

This should probably work:

  
setTimer(theLocator, 0, 0)

Thanks!

The problem isn't at timer then, can you post all the script you have and show us what debugscript says?

Oh my god. Stop making new topics about the same problem!

  
local allLocation = {"Las Venturas", 
    "San Fierro", 
    "Whetstone", 
    "Flint County", 
    "Red County", 
    "Los Santos"} 
  
function theLocator() 
    for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType"player") do 
        local theLocation = getElementZoneName(v, true) 
        for theKey, allLocation in pairs(allLocation) do 
            if (theLocation == theKey) then 
                killPed(v) 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end 
setTimer(theLocator, 50, 0)
