Timer Failed! Issue with timer displaying text.

[Gh0st_]

Hi I am trying to create a ulx command that display text in the chat every set time. I have tried multiple ways and it still hasn't worked.

CATEGORY_NAME = "Custom Commands"

if SERVER then
  resource.AddFile("sound/lockdown.wav")
end

function ulx.lockdown(ply)

    print("Iniating Lockdown...")

    sound.Play( "sound/lockdown.wav", Vector( 0, 0, 0 ), 180, 100, 1 )

        for k, ply in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
ply:ChatPrint( "Main System: Unrecognized Intel Entering the Airspace." )
timer.Simple( 3, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: Preparing Base Lock down." ) end )
timer.Simple( 5, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: Starting Initial Procedure Countdown." ) end )
timer.Simple( 7, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: 5" ) end )
timer.Simple( 8, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: 4" ) end )
timer.Simple( 9, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: 3" ) end )
timer.Simple( 10, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: 2" ) end )
timer.Simple( 11, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: 1" ) end )
timer.Simple( 14, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: Intel Vaulted." ) end )
timer.Simple( 16, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: Repositioning Turrets." ) end )
timer.Simple( 18, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: Base is now Locked down." ) end )
timer.Simple( 20, function() v:PlayerMsg( Color(244, 185, 66) "Main System: Turrets Locked on." ) end )
end
end
end)

local lockdown = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx lockdown", ulx.lockdown, "!lockdown" )
content:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ALL )
content:help( "Use this to initiate lockdown for the server!" )

Your loop value is `ply` but you're using `v`.

[shrublake]

ULX has this already, why would you remake it?

[cogg]

Change `v` to `ply`. You also need to check if `ply` is still valid in each timer.
