[HELP] Loading 1 object at a time from ipairs

[..:D&G:..]

Hello guys, is there any way to have a timer and change/load an object every 2 seconds from ipairs? Because sometimes the server freezes when there are over 100+ vehicles or peds etc...

Example:

for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType("vehicle")) do  
    setElementData(v, "data", 1) 
end 

For example, that code will send the data of all the vehicles from the server, but there are 500 vehicles (just as an example ) but the data will change for all of them at once, is there anyway I can set the data for like 1 vehicle every 2 seconds or 5 vehicles every 2 seconds?

Thanks.

Sure:

local counter = 0 
  
setTimer ( function ( ) 
     local vehicles = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
     if vehicles[1] then 
          counter = #vehicles > counter and counter + 1 or 1 
          setElementData ( vehicles[counter], "data", 1 ) 
     end 
end, 2000, 0 )

Doesn't that require a killTimer?

local counter = 0 
local vehicletable = nil 
  
addCommandHandler ( "dothatthing", function ( ) 
     vehicletable = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
     counter = 0 
     if vehicletable[1] then 
          setTimer ( function ( ) 
               counter = counter + 1 
               if isElement ( vehicletable[counter] ) then 
                    setElementData ( vehicletable[counter], "data", 1 ) 
               end 
          end, 2000, #vehicletable ) 
     end 
end )
