How to create an item and then remove it with certain time? (using addEvent)

I created a lever, and I need it to disappear after 3 seconds ...

My code 1 :

Code:

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)

time = 3

lever = {x = 2892, y = 2687, z = 8, stackpos=1}

getlever = getThingfromPos(lever)

if item.uid == 60115 and item.itemid == 1945 then
doTransformItem(item.uid,item.itemid+1)

addEvent(doCreateItem, 1945, doRemoveItem, (time*1000), 1945, 1, lever)

elseif item.uid == 60115 and item.itemid == 1946 then

doRemoveItem(getlever.uid,1945)
doTransformItem(item.uid,item.itemid-1)

end
return true
end

My code 2:

Code:

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)

time = 3

lever = {x = 2892, y = 2687, z = 8, stackpos=1}

getlever = getThingfromPos(lever)

if item.uid == 60115 and item.itemid == 1945 then
doTransformItem(item.uid,item.itemid+1)

doCreateItem(1945,1,lever)

addEvent(doRemoveItem, (time*1000), 1945, 1, lever)

elseif item.uid == 60115 and item.itemid == 1946 then

doRemoveItem(getlever.uid,1945)
doTransformItem(item.uid,item.itemid-1)

end
return true
end

The 2 do not work.

Practically, what I need is the opposite of this:

Instead of removing the stone, and it coming back in 3 seconds, I wanted to create a stone, and disappear it after 3 seconds ...

• Your tabbing could use some work. It can really improve the readability of your scripts.
• You can put things that stay static locally outside of the function because there's no need to recreate them every time the function is called.
• If you want to remove an item it's always a good idea to verify that it actually exists before doing so. Otherwise it could cause a crash, at least in later TFS versions.

local time = 3
local lever_pos = {x = 2892, y = 2687, z = 8, stackpos=1}

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    local lever = getThingfromPos(lever_pos)
    if item.uid == 60115 and item.itemid == 1945 then
        doTransformItem(item.uid,item.itemid+1)
        doCreateItem(1945, 1, lever_pos)
        addEvent(function()
            local lever = getThingfromPos(lever_pos)
            if lever then
                doRemoveItem(lever.uid, 1945)
            end
        end, time * 1000)
    elseif item.uid == 60115 and item.itemid == 1946 then
        if lever then
            doRemoveItem(lever.uid, 1945)
        end
        doTransformItem(item.uid, item.itemid - 1)
    end
    return true
end
