Timer for setting teams wont work

[thekiller123]

function SetTeamz(ply)
timer.Simple(25, function()
	if ply:Team()== 2 then
	ply:SetTeam(3)
	ply:Freeze(false)
	ply:Kill()
	elseif ply:Team()== 3 then
	ply:SetTeam(2)
	ply:Freeze(false)
	ply:Kill()
	elseif ply:Team()== 1 then
	ranteam = math.Rand(2, 3)
	
	ply:SetTeam(ranteam)
	ply:Kill()
	wait(1)
	ply:Spawn()
	end
end)
end
hook.Add('Shit...', 'SetTeamz', function(ply) 
ply:print('kill me please...')
end)

Nothing happens, no errors, it just doesn't do anything. :/

I've tried almost everything, I changed timer.Simple to timer.Create, and set it up for it. Like timer.Create('Fuck..', 20, 0, function()
Myshit code here
end)

Okay, first of all 'Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww'.

Now, onto your issue:
Your function 'SetTeamz' isn't being called, so your timer is never going to run. I see your trying to do something in that 'Shit...' hook; however I suggest you read up on how that works.

hook.add('*What you want to hook your function to*', '*The ID of your hook*', *The function you want to run when the hook is called*)

So, first of all you want to figure out what you want to hook to. And then you want to change your hook to the following:

hook.Add('*HookIWant*', 'SetTeamz', SetTeamz)

That should work (Assuming your timer's code is correct).

When should it happen?

You can do it on PlayerSpawn, or in a menu, or where-ever... Do those team even exist? What game-mode is this for?

Random gamemode im making, and yes, I set them up.

[Acecool]

Are you calling it Clientside or Serverside?

Server side.

SetTeamz is never ran.

No really?

[thekiller123]

function SetTeamz(ply)
	if ply:Team()== 2 then
	ply:SetTeam(3)
	ply:Freeze(false)
	ply:Kill()
	elseif ply:Team()== 3 then
	ply:SetTeam(2)
	ply:Freeze(false)
	ply:Kill()
	elseif ply:Team()== 1 then
	ranteam = math.Rand(2, 3)
	
	ply:SetTeam(ranteam)
	ply:Kill()
	ply:Spawn()
	end
end

timer.Create('SetTheFckingTeam', 25, 0, SetTeamz) // Fuck you timers.
hook.Add('Think', 'SetTeamzHook', SetTeamz) // Maybe it's think?!?

Does this look OK?

Just make the teams get set in a GM:PlayerInitialSpawn() function or something, if you're making a gamemode. I don't know why you would be changing the teams for any other reason.

You really should never have to use think, you can just make a pseudo think timer, which is less expensive.

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn(ply)


    local randomteam = math.random(1, 3)
    
    ply:SetTeam(randomteam)
    ply:Kill()
    ply:Spawn()


end

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by moving the teams around a lot like that.

I'm trying to make rounds, so at the end of every round (5 mins, I set the timer to 20 seconds so I didn't have to wait for it.) the players team gets changed.

Before you go any further, if I were you I'd invest in learning Lua basics.

:| Really? >.>

I already know Lua basics...

function wait(waitTime)
	local timers = os.time()
	repeat until os.time() > timers + waitTime
end

Basic function for wait().

Happy now?

Not really, you have no proper indentation and then you add a think hook that calls a function with a timer in it for setting teams? If you don't know how to call your code you are sort of at a loss here. But enough derailing, I'm out.
