okay so I did this and it works for a split second but then the “Corona Error” states,

Runtime error

:0: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

?: in function ‘performWithDelay’ – talking about the timeToNextWave timerSource (1st one)

function startTimer()&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if waveHares == waveTable[wave] then &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; wave = wave + 1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;print(tostring(wave)) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;print(waveText.text) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;waveText.text = tostring(wave) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;waveHares = 0 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;timerSource = timer.performWithDelay(timeToNextWave, startTimer) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;return &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;timerSource = timer.performWithDelay(timeToNextHare, startTimer) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;showHare() &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;waveHares = waveHares + 1&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;timeToNextHare = math.max(timeToNextHare - 30, 600)&nbsp; end &nbsp;

That’s because timeToNextWave is not defined. Define it same as you did timeToNextHare.

Always check the console for errors. You must never have errors.
