timer.create / glsock2 --- question

[numu]

hellolo!

i ve got a question concerning timers in gmod.

im using glsock2 for a udp connection, what i want to do is pretty simple, i just want the data to read only every 0.03 seconds.. if i add the line

timer.Create("udptimer", 0.03, 0, socket:ReadFrom( 30, onRead));

gmod accually does what i want, but spams with errors :

[ERROR] gamemodes/entangledspaces/gamemode/client/udp2angle.lua:91: bad argument #4 to 'Create' (function expected, got boolean)
  1. Create - [C]:-1
   2. unknown - gamemodes/entangledspaces/gamemode/client/udp2angle.lua:91
    3. v - [C]:-1
     4. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:82

if i change the arguments as it says in luawiki: [URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index9643.html"]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index9643.html[/URL]
[QUOTE]Lua invokes member functions by passing the object as the first parameter to the function.
If you were to call self:SetHealth(100), which can be written as self.SetHealth(self,100), you would create a timer with timer.Create("timer1", 1, 0, self.SetHealth, self, 100).
This would set self's health to 100 every second.[/QUOTE]
gmod crashes

anyone got an idea ?

thanks in advance !

Timers no longer work like that, that is outdated. You must call it like this:

timer.Create("udptimer", 0.03, 0, function() socket:ReadFrom( 30, onRead) end)

Basically you create and call a function inside the timer, so if you want to do anything you have to format it like this:

function()
	local text = "stuff"
	print(text)
end

You can also directly call a function like this:

function ReadSocket()
	socket:ReadFrom( 30, onRead)
end
timer.Create("udptimer", 0.03, 0, ReadSocket)

But if you want to call arguments to the function you have to do it by either doing it in a meta fashion like "object:Function" or "function() ReadSocket(onRead) end"
