Eyo, just need some help [ERROR] addons/nlr timer/lua/autorun/nlrtimer.lua:101: Tried to use a NULL entity! 1. GetPos - [C]:-1 2. fn - addons/nlr timer/lua/autorun/nlrtimer.lua:101 3. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:183 is the error I'm getting. local radius = LocalPlayer():GetPos():Distance(v:GetPos()) Thats the line, any help will be great.

The error is saying you fed it a bad entity. I'm going to guess you didn't define v, or it was removed.

Or this monstrosity: [CODE]local radius = LocalPlayer():GetPos():Distance(v:GetPos())[/CODE] If you want a better radius use this: [CODE]Distance = math.Round((LocalPlayer():GetPos() - v:GetPos()):Length())[/CODE]

I'll try the Distance one, but heres the whole code.

I'm really not sure how to do that, can I have some help?

Well, since PlayerDisconnected is a SERVER hook ( In case you're doing anything client-side ), at the top of the function in your timer.Create, if !IsValid( player ) then remove the timer. Removing the timer is done via: timer.Destroy( "TimerName" );

So where would I place this?

I think its safe to assume the code he's having problems with ISN'T his, and if you don't provide us anything to work with you can't expect people to be able to solve your issue.

I never stated the code was "mine" and I gave you the code? [url]http://pastebin.com/a9tDmu2w[/url]
