function clientdata_hook(id, mode, data1, data2)
	local x = data1
	local y = data2
	if actived[id] == 1 then
		if posInArea(x, y, closebutton[1], closebutton[2], closebutton[3], closebutton[4]) then
			freeimage(imgid[id])
			parse('sv_sound2 '.. id ..' "wpn_select.wav"')
			actived[id] = 0
		else
			for n, w in ipairs(pos) do
				if posInArea(x, y, w[1], w[2], w[3], w[4]) then
					lastselect[id] = n 
					freeimage(imgid[id])
					parse('sv_sound2 '.. id ..' "wpn_select.wav"')
					actived[id] = 0
					timer(20, 'open_menu(id)')
					break
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

you have to pass the function NAME only, not the function pattern with parameters.

change 'open_menu(id)' to 'open_menu'

(you can add a third parameters with a value for the id function parameter if you want to)

see my edit. and you should really read the command reference.
cs2d lua cmd

timer

note that only one parameter is possible for functions called with a timer.

addhook("spawn","spawnlol")
function spawnlol(id)
	if classes[id]==1 then
		return "45";
		timer(1200, parse("strip "..id.." 45")
	end
end

I lol'd @ semicolon, you can add it in but it's not needed.

Also timer can only take function names in quotes. Then you can add params...

ex.

untested:

1
2

param="strip "..id.." 71"
timer(1200,"parse",param)

timer

timer expects the name of a Lua function as string.
entering some CS2D or Lua commands directly as parameter for timer does not work.
it must be a Lua function name as string (and this string always WITHOUT parameters).
you can only pass ONE parameter to the function that is called by the timer. this parameter is the THIRD parameter of the timer function.

so you have to add a new function to fix it. also: return ends function execution instantly, nothing behind a return is executed at all. so you have to put the return after the timer.

addhook("spawn","spawnlol")
function spawnlol(id)
	if classes[id]==1 then
		timer(1200,"strip45",id)
		return "45";
	end
end

function strip45(id)
	parse("strip "..id.." 45")
end

edit: sorry, the solution of Textual Context is better and should work as well. it calls the Lua parse function and passes the cs2d script you want to execute as parameter. clever approach
