Help script RTD, command timer

[AkiraEU]

Hi, i'm learning on lua, i have a projet for my server deathrun with a friend. I create with my friend a RTD for deathrun. I'm stuck for create a timer for restrict the command RTD.
We would need help on this script, there must be mistakes, but it does not work , or rather it is not complete.. Someone can help us here please?

function StartSRTD(ply)
    if ply:IsValid() then return end
    
    if ply:Alive() then
        if timer.Exists(ply:SteamID().."_Delay") then
            local timeleft = math.Round(timer.TimeLeft(ply:SteamID().."_Delay"))
            ply:ChatPrint("Test1")
            return
        end
        
        timer.Simple(0.05, function()
            table.Random(Effects)(ply)
                timer.Create(ply:SteamID().."_Delay", SRTDTimer, 1, function() timer.Destroy(ply:SteamID().."_Delay") end)
        end)
    else
        ply:ChatPrint("Test2")
    end
end

    if ply:IsValid() then return end

Why do you want to run the script only when the player is invalid?

I have modified my script, i connect on my server, i type "rtd" in console, is write : "unknown command: rtd"

function Randomeff()
	ply:ChatPrint("Fonction")
	if ply:Alive() then
		ply:ChatPrint("Alive")
		if ply:Team() == TEAM_RUNNER then
			ply:ChatPrint("Team Runner")
			if timer.Exists(self:SteamID().."_Delay") then
				ply:ChatPrint("Timer existant")
				local tempsrestant = math.Round( timer.TimeLeft(self:SteamID().."_Delay"))
				ply:ChatPrint("Temps Restant = "..tempsrestant..)
				return ""
			end
		
			table.random(Effects)(ply)
			timer.Create( self:SteamID().."_Delay", SRTDTime, 1, function() timer.Remove( self:SteamID().."_Delay") end)
		else
			ply:ChatPrint("Que en Runner")
		end
	else
		ply:ChatPrint("Que si tes en vie")
	end
end
concommand.Add("rtd", Randomeff) -- Command in the console "rtd"

function RollTheDice(ply,cmd,args)
	if not (ply:IsValid()) then return end
		RollTheDice(ply)
end

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "RollTheDice", function( ply, text, public)
	text = string.lower( text )
	if ( text == "/rtd" ) then -- Command /rtd
		Randomeff()
		return ""
	end
end)

[/QUOTE]

First of all, you use a "ply" variable in the "Randomeff" function, but you haven't passed it as a parameter to the function. So, it should look like:

function Randomeff(ply, cmd, args)
	//Contents of your function
end

Also, there are some other mistakes in your code. For example, this line:

ply:ChatPrint("Temps Restant = "..tempsrestant..)

You have an extra concatenation operator after the "tempsrestant" variable.

Thanks ^^'
I have a problem with my script, my srtd.lua not load at server start, i created the file init.lua, putting an include to load srtd.lua but says he is not srtd.lua. I have no solution, i do not understand why it does not load, i do not have a lot of addons on my server..

[AkiraEU]

It's solved, thanks !

if SERVER then
-- Script here.
end

Also, all of your fucking functions are global. Make them local.
