So i got this reosource for player blips that works but i want to make it so it restarts automaticly every 10 seconds i tried adding this but it dosent work

setTimer( addTeamBlip, 100,true )    

heres the script

local pBlips = { } 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        for index, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            addTeamBlip(player) 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function addTeamBlip(player) 
    if ( pBlips[player] ) then return false end -- Adding a prevention of duplicate blips 
    local theGang = getElementData ( player, "gang" ) 
    if ( theGang and theGang ~= "None" ) then 
       local r, g, b = getPlayerNametagColor( player ) 
       local theBlip = createBlipAttachedTo( player, 0, 2, 0, 255, 0 ) 
        -- Change visibility to only the team members 
        setElementVisibleTo( theBlip, root, false ) 
        for index, value in ipairs ( getPlayersByGang ( theGang ) ) do -- THIS 
            setElementVisibleTo( theBlip, value, true ) 
        end 
        pBlips[player] = theBlip 
    end 
end 
  
function destroyBlip(element) 
    local theElement = source or element 
    if ( theElement ) then 
        destroyElement(pBlips[theElement]) 
        pBlips[theElement] = nil -- Just in-case... 
    end 
end 
  
-- Events 
   
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerSpawn", root, addTeamBlip ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", root, destroyBlip ) 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerWasted", root, destroyBlip ) 
  
  
function getPlayersByGang ( gang ) 
    local players = { } 
    for _, player in ipairs ( getElementsByType ( "player" ) ) do 
        if ( getElementData ( player, "gang" ) == gang ) then 
            table.insert ( players, player ) 
        end 
    end 
  
    return players 
end

setTimer( addTeamBlip, 1000*10, 0 )  -- 1000 msec = 1 sec

That will not work.

setTimer ( 
   function() 
  
        for index, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
  
            addTeamBlip(player) 
  
        end 
  
    end,10000,0 
  
)

                addTeamBlip(player)

        end 
    ) 
      
    function addTeamBlip(player) 
        if ( pBlips[player] ) then return false end -- Adding a prevention of duplicate blips 
        local theGang = getElementData ( player, "gang" )

local pBlips = { } 
  
    function blipsRestart()

    end 
setTimer(blipsRestart,10000,0) 
 addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, blipsRestart)
