Kill a timer

[FSXTim]

Hallo,

I want to kill the timer in this script. But now all the timers of the resource are killed. How can I only kill this one?

function spam(message, messageType) 
    local player = source 
    local msg = getElementData(source, "Spam") 
    if message == msg then 
        outputChatBox("Bitte wiederhole dich nicht!", source, 255, 0, 0) 
        cancelEvent() 
    end 
    timers = getTimers(10000) 
    for timerKey, timerValue in ipairs(timers) do 
      killTimer(timerValue) 
    end 
    setTimer( 
        function() 
            setElementData(player, "Spam", "0") 
        end  
    , 10000, 1) 
    setElementData(source, "Spam", message)      
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", getRootElement(), spam)

Maybe not by looping through all timers, but by storing the value returned by setTimer into a variable and later using it in killTimer?

Sorry, but what do you exactly mean? Could you give me an example, please?

some_timer = setTimer(someFunction, 10000, 1) 

And later:

killTimer(some_timer)

some_timer = setTimer(someFunction, 10000, 1) 

And later:

killTimer(some_timer) 

Use isTimer better.

if isTimer(some_timer) then killTimer(some_timer) end

Thanks, it's working now.
