Lua TFS 1.2

[Itutorial]

I am using the lastest "stable" version. When im trying to use addEvent the script just doesn't even register that it is there. No error, no nothing. It just ignores the line completely.

Why the hell would addEvent not work?

Ex: addEvent(eventName, time, ...)

It doesn't do anything.

how are you using it
if you're using it like your example then that's wrong
it's a function callback not an event name

local function doSomething()
    print("something")
end

addEvent(doSomething, 5000)

Here's a couple examples I made, If you need an example of how a function is used you can usually find it being used correctly in vanilla TFS.

If you are having trouble finding examples enable windows search indexing (search for text in files) for your TFS directory so you can search for examples in file explorer.

local millisecondsDelay = 2000
function testFunction(var1, var2)
    print("delayed function")
end
addEvent(testFunction, millisecondsDelay, var1, var2)

--or

--Anonymous function
addEvent(function(var1)
    print("delayed anonymous function")
end, millisecondsDelay, var1)

I like to use this way:

addEvent(function() print("something") end, time)

I like to use this way:

addEvent(function() print("something") end, time)

creating anonymous functions wastes more resources because you're redefining a new function each time the code runs

I never figured out what the problem was but it fixed itself anyway. It was acting as if the method addEvent didn't exist at all. Anyway, its fixed but I have no idea how or what was going on.
