[Help] Unable to get this script to work

[Forthwind]

So I'm trying to use my script to transfer a variable from server side to client side, it's going to be placed in a dx. Yet whatever I've tried so far resulted in an error, along with involving an experienced friend who also wasn't able to find the error.

 

Anyway the script is as following:

Server side: 

function Position (thePlayer)
local root = getRootElement()
spawnPlayer (source, -1756.2720947266, 787.56939697266, 167.65625, 0, math.random(0,288), 0, 0)
fadeCamera(source, true)
setCameraTarget(source, source)
end

addEventHandler( "onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), Position )

function startgame(playerSource)
  actualtimer = setTimer(outputChatBox, 100000, 1, "Life is gut")
                setElementData(playerSource, "countdowntimer", actualtimer)
end

addCommandHandler( "countdown", startgame )]

 

 

-- client

function transferhandler()
outputChatBox ("countdown")
end

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root,
    function(timer)
        dxDrawRectangle(313, 242, 378, 55, tocolor(5, 0, 0, 149), false)
  countdown = (getTimerDetails(getElementData(getLocalPlayer(), "countdowntimer"))/1000)
        dxDrawText("Game starts in:" .. countdown .. "seconds!", 323, 258, 646, 280, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 1.00, "default", "left", "top", false, false, false, false, false)
    end
)

addEvent( "StartEvent", true )
addEventHandler( "StartEvent", getRootElement(), countdown )

 

These are the errors I'm getting:
When I start the resourse: 

When I write the command /countdown (to start the countdown, variable that's going to be transferred.

 

Lastly, those errors are equal to these lines in the script: Client.lua:30 is this line:
countdown = (getTimerDetails(getElementData(getLocalPlayer(), "countdowntimer"))/1000)

So the transfer is working fine, just the clientside part isn't.

There is no 'countdown' function.

I guess the timer is not being achieved client side correctly or it can't be, because of which the value is returning false.
