Solved Item not Found, [actions.xml], doSetItemActionId

[Xikini]

After I remove the item initially, I can't find the UID of the new item created to set the new aid attribute, it always comes back nil.
If I use this code, it works fine.

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
   -- check what item is there and add to table
   local ids = {}
   thing = (getThingFromPos(frompos).itemid)
   table.insert(ids, thing)

   -- remove item that was used.
   doTransformItem(getThingfromPos(frompos).uid, 0)

   -- replace item that was removed
   local item = doCreateItem(ids[1], 1, frompos)

   -- add actionID back to object
   doSetItemActionId(item, 45557)
  return true
end

However if I use this code, it doesn't work, and I get the following error.

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
   -- check what item is there and add to table
   local ids = {}
   thing = (getThingFromPos(frompos).itemid)
   table.insert(ids, thing)

   -- remove item that was used.
   doTransformItem(getThingfromPos(frompos).uid, 0)

   -- replace item that was removed
   local item = addEvent(doCreateItem, 1000, ids[1], 1, frompos)

   -- add actionID back to object // NOT WORKING
   addEvent(doSetItemActionId, 2000, getThingFromPos(frompos).uid, 45557)
  return true
end

[9:52:31.781] [Error - Action Interface]
[9:52:31.781] In a timer event called from:
[9:52:31.781] data/actions/scripts/aaCarlExampleScripts/RemoveAddObjects.lua:onUse
[9:52:31.781] Description:
[9:52:31.781] (luaDoItemSetAttribute) Item not found

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ended up creating a function inside of the addEvent.

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
   local ids = {}
   thing = (getThingFromPos(frompos).itemid)
   table.insert(ids, thing)
   doTransformItem(getThingfromPos(frompos).uid, 0)
   addEvent (
     function ()
       doCreateItem(ids[1], 1, frompos)
       local item = getThingFromPos(frompos).uid
       doSetItemActionId(item, 45557)
     end, 2000
   )
  return true
end

end

Thats was the solution
