Hello again everyone!
I'm getting the error
With this:
Timer that calls the function "timefuncI"
And here's the function:
What's wrong here? I think the problem is with the "id" value.

You are right. You call the function with no parameters.
Got no fix for you atm. though, I'm not on a computer.
You should add parameters to your functions. Eg:
Do this for your _always and _hit functions too.

I think you also have to add:
under timefuncI()
Code:
1
if not player(i,"exists") then return end
under timefuncI()

Yep, i agree.
Without it, the code is kind of sketchy.

is this
you don't especifict the id , you in the function timefunc don't type a value , but the msg2 , have a value , is "id"
, ok copy , and paste , and it finish
sorry for my bad english

function timefuncI(id) -- this now have a value "id"
msg2(id, "©000255000Hello and welcome to our Test Subjects center.") -- here uses the value "id"
msg2(id, "©000255000As you may have noted, you can now move in another way.") -- here uses the value "id"
end
end
msg2(id, "©000255000Hello and welcome to our Test Subjects center.") -- here uses the value "id"
msg2(id, "©000255000As you may have noted, you can now move in another way.") -- here uses the value "id"

Remember, for efficient scripting - never, EVER get players as
Code:
1
for i=1,32 do
Use this construction instead:
Code:
1
for _,i in pairs(player(0,"table")) do
It iterates through every value in the player table thus eliminating any possibility of non-existing players, as well as improving the efficiency.
I code, therefore I exist.

Why can't you just use msg function except of msg2 with annoying cycle?
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. - Psalm 91:7-8 ESV

Because without msg2, it will show the msg to every player, that's not what I want.

By the way, Pwnisher's code is incorrect, now that I think about it. The for loop should be outside the function - if you even need to iterate through the players, because at the moment the function argument does nothing since it's overrided by the inner loop.
I code, therefore I exist.
