That's because you attempt to collect p from the function in the timer but never passed a value for it in setTimer (therefore, within the timer function, p is nil).

Line 58:

end,5000,0,t_Element 

Also, inside the timer function (lines 46-57 inclusive), you should change every peds[t_Element] and t_Element into p because neither (unless declared globally) exist in the timer-attached function.

oh alright thanks. i don't know why this happens, i used not to need passing arguments in before
