How to pass a variable to timer for function?

The timer below shows freeimage error, trying to pass nil but number required (it doesn't get id value)

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

timer(5000,'close_personal_stats',id,1)

function close_personal_stats(id)
    freeimage(images[id])
    images[id] = 0
    for i = 1, 34 do parse('hudtxt2 '..id..' '..i) end
    if flag[6] == 0 then for i = 35, 43 do parse('hudtxt2 '..id..' '..i) end end
end

You could always parse as Lua.

timer(5000, "parse", "lua close_personal_stats("..id..")")

Or something like that. I literally have not done this for a few years, excuse me if this is incorrect syntax.

I believe your error is saying that it cannot find the

images

table with the associated

id

(trying to parse nil but cs2d lua cmd

freeimage requires a number and it has got a nil value because your

images[id]

could not be found).

You always have to

tonumber

when using a timer function and passing int values. So maybe this will fix it instead of having to parse lua within the timer:

1
2
3
4
5
6

function close_personal_stats(id)
	id = tonumber(id)
	freeimage(images[id])
	images[id] = nil -- always set to nil
	-- the rest
end

I forgot to check if timer() converts it to string. No wonders it didn't work looking like this:

freeimage(images["1"])

Thanks!!
