Lua Trying to mimic an action function to another one

[William Sezo]

Hi, i want to copy a part of this script so that the mined stones also "grow back" like the trees do in this other script.

here's the working woodcutting script i'm using:

local config = {
trees = {2701,2702,2703,2704,2705,2706,2707,2708,2709,2710,2712,2717,2718,2720,2722},
t = {
[{1, 100}] = {tree = 2701},
[{101, 200}] = {tree = 2702},
[{201, 300}] = {tree = 2703},
[{301, 400}] = {tree = 2704},
[{401, 500}] = {tree = 2705},
[{501, 600}] = {tree = 2706},
[{601, 700}] = {tree = 2707},
[{701, 800}] = {tree = 2708},
[{801, 900}] = {tree = 2709},
[{901, 1000}] = {tree = 2710},
[{1001, 1100}] = {tree = 2712},
[{1101, 1200}] = {tree = 2717},
[{1201, 1300}] = {tree = 2718},
[{1301, 1400}] = {tree = 2720},
[{1401, 1500}] = {tree = 2722}
},
level = 15,
skill = SKILL_AXE,
skillReq = 10,
effect = CONST_ME_BLOCKHIT,
addTries = 100,
branches = 6432,
msgType = MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE,
soul = 3,
minutes = 5
}

local t = {
[{1, 500}] = {msg = "You chopped the tree and got some wood.", item = 5901, amountmax = 2},
[{501, 750}] = {msg = "You have damaged your axe and it broke!", destroy = true},
[{751, 1550}] = {msg = "You chopped the tree down, but the the wood was not good."},
[{1551, 1650}] = {msg = "oh no the tree had a Wasps nest in it!", summon = "Wasp"},
[{1651, 1750}] = {msg = "You hurt yourself while choping the tree down.", damage = {1, 100}},
[{1751, 2000}] = {msg = "You choped the tree and got some wood", item = 5901, amountmax = 5},
[{2001, 2250}] = {msg = "A cat that was stuck jumped from the choped tree", summon = "Cat"},
[{2251, 2500}] = {msg = "There was a bird's nest in the tree and you took some eggs from the nest.", item = 2695, amountmax = 5},
[{2501, 2750}] = {msg = "You got some wood for building!!!", item = 12969, amountmax = 5},
[{2751, 3000}] = {msg = "A rat jumped at you!", summon = "Rat"}
}

-- config.soul <= getPlayerSoul(cid)--

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
if isInArray(config.trees, itemEx.itemid) and config.level <= getPlayerLevel(cid) and config.skillReq <= getPlayerSkill(cid, config.skill) then
local v, amount, damage = math.random(3000), 1, nil
for i, k in pairs(t) do
if v >= i[1] and v <= i[2] then
if k.destroy then
doRemoveItem(item.uid)
end

doSummonCreature(k.summon, toPosition)
end

doCreatureAddHealth(cid, - damage)
doSendMagicEffect(getThingPos(cid), CONST_ME_DRAWBLOOD)
-- doSendAnimatedText(getThingPos(cid), damage, TEXTCOLOR_RED) not working on 1.2 --
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, config.msgType, msg)
end
if k.item then
if k.amountmax then
amount = math.random(k.amountmax)
end
doPlayerAddItem(cid, k.item, amount)
end
if k.msg then
local msg = k.msg
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, config.msgType, msg)
end

local function newTrees(parameter)
local tree = getThingfromPos{x = parameter.position.x, y = parameter.position.y, z = parameter.position.z, stackpos = 1}
for i2, k2 in pairs(config.t) do
local v2 = math.random(1500), 1, nil
if v2 >= i2[1] and v2 <= i2[2] then
if k2.tree then
if (tree.itemid == config.branches) then
doTransformItem(tree.uid, k2.tree)
end
end
end
end
end
addEvent(newTrees, config.minutes*60*1000, {position = toPosition, cid = cid})
doTransformItem(itemEx.uid, config.branches)
-- doPlayerAddSoul(cid, -config.soul) --
doSendMagicEffect(toPosition, k.destroy and CONST_ME_HITAREA or config.effect)
return doPlayerAddSkillTry(cid, config.skill, config.addTries)
end
end

end
return doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Either this tree can't be choped or you don't have enough experience or skill to chop this tree.")
end

and this is my mining.lua script

I'm currently getting this error and can't figure it out...

You have no local 'minutes' set, so it's trying to call something that isn't there
Add minutes to your config like the other script.

That's it.
Rookie mistake.

Thank you!

Sometimes you need a second pair of eyes to catch simple mistakes, it happens
