Ran into another error yesterday and its been driving me crazy as I haven’t been able to find a solution for it, anyway the error is in the title and happens at the end of the game when the time has run out, it will usually happen 5 seconds after that, and will still happen if the user clicks the menu button at the end of the level. Does anyone have a solution?

Your timers are running infinitely. You need to cancel them when your game ends/character dies/player wins. You could try something like this:

timerStash = {} local function cancelAllTimers() local k, v for k,v in pairs(timerStash) do timer.cancel( v ) v = nil; k = nil end timerStash = nil timerStash = {} end --EXAMPLE --timerStash.timer1 = timer.performWithDelay( 24000, spawnBomb2, 0 ) --When Game Ends Do this cancelAllTimers()
