First of all thanks to RoboMat and Stormy for helping me out. On the second post RoboMat solved my problems on how to play a sound. On ninth post Stormy posted a solution to my timer problem.

Thanks for the reply stormy it works. Going to recap the solutions in a new reply to make it easier for the people with the same problems.

Mmh I was thinking about a sound-bomb. It would be a little bit similar to a alarm that some of the windows have. Only you would have a ten second head-start.

ok thanks for the getInstance() part that made it work. The only problem is that it crashes ones it excutes the script. I think it spams to much since it crashes at the "print("not equal")" part. When I remove that it still doesnt work. Edit: At this point I think it is more of a problem that I have not a work-around for wait/delay function. On a other project I would use sleep() function inside a for or while loop, to prevent spamming the client/server. Or to prevent some tasks from being executed to quikly in a row.

I tried wat you suggested but the error doesnt change at all. The line is still line 29 with the same error. Edit: After giving the error some more thought and what you said. Is it a possibillity that I need to do something with require'something'. I looked at a example in this tutorial: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/61-robomats-modding-tutorials-updated-12112013/ But when searched for such a name in the javadocs I couldn't find any classes that matched.

So I am back with the results from testing: Got the sound working, the only thing that I need to do is tweak some values. The bad news is, is that I dindn't got my timer/delay to work. I tried to used getMinutes() to make a delay but got a error that reads out:"Object tried to call nil in soundtest"(on line 29) Here is the code on pastebin.(since it looks a little bit cleaner there) http://pastebin.com/gEXZHst5

Ok thanks for the help with the formatting RoboMat. I will check your suggestions tomorrow(or later today) since it is half past 12 here(AM). But thanks for the help so far.

I have 2 problem as the topic title suggests. One of them being the problem that I dont know how to create a timer in lua. On a other project I was used to a sleep(float) function. The other thing that I tried was with os.time but that didn't work out as well.(crashed upon using it) The second problem is that I can't find a method to let me play a sound and set the radius for it.(like a weapon that was fired) I have found the playsound() method but I dont think it will be the same as a used gun, but more as a sound effect. sorry for the code in the spoilers it doesnt seem to like me .

Okay so I managed to fix it. I changed the name of one of my files. I think the crash was caused because my item file was named items, which is simmilar to the default one.

Guys, I am back from the death!(plz dont point that shotgun at me) I am making a mod at the moment that will add a little bit of everything. But at the moment I can get it to work. Everytime I start the game(with the mod enabled), the options in the main menu completely disappear. Removing the item file seems to work but I cant find the problem in the file. error link: http://pastebin.com/w8hVdBVu thanks in advance, -hummie

Wow this looks promising, it looks good so far. Can plants grow through broken windows or will that be implemented?
