performWithDelay timer help

local thresholds={} local balloons={} local \_score=0 local balloon=require("balloon")

I have seperate balloon.lua file which is why the above line says require(“balloon”)

local function spawnBalloons( number ) &nbsp; &nbsp; local function spawn(e) &nbsp; &nbsp; local b=balloon.newBalloon(m.random(50,100)) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;balloons[b]=b &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;balloons[b].x=m.random(\_W-400,\_W-50) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;--balloons[b].remove=true &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;if(e.count==number) then &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;timer.cancel(tmr) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;--tmr=nil &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;end &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;tmr=timer.performWtihDelay(2000, spawn, number) &nbsp; &nbsp;end spawnBalloons(5)

When i run my code i get the error attempt to call field performWithDelay (a nil value). What exactly is wrong with the code? My timer code seems to be perfect.

The problem seems to be a typo. You’ve put timer.performWtihDelay instead of time.performWithDelay.
