Lua addEvent problem

[Tubeshop]

I have a problem with the addEvent function. I want to create a system where the player gets rewards for every 15 seconds in the arena. the problem is that if a player enters and exits the arena and repeats this action 3 times, he will receive 3 prizes every 15 seconds. I don't know how to kill addevent after player exits. the exit also changes the storage to the one I have in the script, but when the player enters the arena again, the storage is correct and he gets 3 prizes. How to kill an add event after a player leaves the arena? I tried to assign addevent to a variable and do stopevent on this variable, but it doesn't work either. please help

addEvent(StayArena, 15000, player:getId())

function StayArena(playerId)

local player = Player(playerId)
if not player then
return
end

if(player:getStorageValue(60000)) <= 0 then
return
end

-- add reward here
addEvent(StayArena, 15000, playerId)

end

the only thing that can be said is:

stopEvent(StayArena)

or

stopEvent(StayArena[player:getId()])

I tried this way but it doesn't work. it's probably because the function called inside is getting stuck. I don't know how to solve it. There are situations where the player sometimes gets 2-3 rewards in every 15 seconds.

You have to save the event id returned by addEvent and use it for the stopEvent argument and find a way to call that whenever your player leaves with an onStepIn trigger or something

Untested but should work. Please let me know if you fail to understand any of it. I would of used registerEvent and unregisterEvent here, but considering I need to store the addEvent, may aswell just use our own table in memory....

It's pretty essential to make sure the arena is a non-logout zone!

local events = {}

function rewardPlayer(playerId)
    local player = Player(playerId)
    if not player or not events[playerId] then
        if events[playerId] then
            events[playerId] = nil
        end
        return
    end
 
    --give rewards here

    events[playerId] = addEvent(rewardPlayer, 15000, playerId)
end

--Joining the arena
--Set a MoveEvent onStepIn, change to whatever you want as long as the event is set
local arenaEnter = MoveEvent()
function arenaEnter.onStepIn(player, item, position, fromPosition)
    if not player:isPlayer()
        return false
    end
  
    local playerId = player:getId()
    events[playerId] = addEvent(rewardPlayer, 15000, playerId)
    return true
end
arenaEnter:aid(12345) -- change to tile or tp actionid
arenaEnter:register()

--Leaving the arena
--Set a MoveEvent onStepIn, change to whatever you want as long as the addEvent is halted.
--Death will already be handled by the addEvent (Player object will be nil)
local arenaLeave = MoveEvent()
function arenaLeave.onStepIn(player, item, position, fromPosition)
    if not player:isPlayer()
        return false
    end
 
    local playerId = player:getId()
    stopEvent(events[playerId])
    events[playerId] = nil
    return true
end
arenaLeave:aid(12345) -- change to tile or tp actionid
arenaLeave:register()

re-edited the code...
