look below

        for y = 32868, 32872 do
            local playerTile = Tile(Position(32759, y, 14)):getTopCreature()
            if playerTile and playerTile:isPlayer() then
                if playerTile:getStorageValue(Storage.ForgottenKnowledge.LloydTimer) < os.time() then
                    playerTile:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_POFF)
                    playerTile:teleportTo(config.newPosition)
                    playerTile:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
                    playerTile:setExhaustion(Storage.ForgottenKnowledge.LloydTimer, os.time() + 20 * 3600)

Ok so this iterates over the tiles and tries to grab the top creature.
if that returns something, and is player, checks a stored value against the current UTC timestamp.
If it's under that (sooner) player gets teleported...

My best guess is
1.) setExhaustion player method doesn't exist.
2.) even if it did, it wasn't meant to be used here.
3.) when you get teleported you're supposed reset that clock a bit into the future. (20*60*60 in this case; 20 hours? So more than a bit.)

change line 8 (55 in your post) to this. String replace: s/setExhaustion/setStorageValue/

                    playerTile:setStorageValue(Storage.ForgottenKnowledge.LloydTimer, os.time() + 20 * 3600)

that fixed that problem now problem number two if someone pulls the lever it spawns a new one even if one is all ready spawned in as in people can stand to the side and spam the lever

 

[Itutorial]

When the player presses the lever (with 1 already spawned) does it show "loyd has already been spawned message?"

If it does, then change the return true on line 41 to return false.

Otherwise, there is a problem with the spectator code. (I think dont have much time sorry)

Maybe try replacing with this

local specs = Game.getSpectators(config.centerRoom, false, false, 15, 15, 15, 15)
        for i = 1, #specs do
            local tmp_spec = Player(specs[i])
            if tmp_spec then
                player:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, "Someone is fighting with Lloyd.")
                return true
            end
        end

 

[Lessaire]

It looks like that code checks the battle area for players, but doesn't check for the existence of this monster? What happens if the players are removed by some other force while the monster is spawned?

I guess it would be helpful to see a pic of the associated map?
