I would've searched but the search doesn't appear neither in the Search / FAQ or when creating a thread. Probably a problem in my browser that will be fixed at some point...
I need to be able to create a timer that calls a function with multiple parameters but it doesn't work because after the first parameter the next one goes into the count parameter.
This is the timer I need fixed.
Any help will be appreciated.

function advtmr(time,func,var)
if not time then for k,v in pairs(timers) do timers[k] = 1 end return end

for i = 1,#timers+1 do if not timers[i] then ar = i break end end

timer(time,"exectimer",ar)

local ar = tonumber(array)

end
Usage: advtimer(time_in_ms,function,{variableA,variableB})
Example: advtimer(2500,timertesting,{1,5,"three"})
This should work
EDIT: you can can also call advtimer() with no parameters to cancel all active timers (very similar to function freetimer())

timerCant you just do:
param= tostring(id..","..x..","..y)
timer(1000, "meditateStage2", param, x, y)?
I can remember a super easy way but I dont find the thread

end
function example2(a,b)
--some code
end
timer(1000,"parse","lua example2(a,b)",0)
end
function example2(a,b)
--some code
end
Its not what I ment tho
