Code:
local function TriggerBot()
     if readInteger("agame.exe+61B82C") == 2 then
          mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, nil, nil, nil, nil)
          mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, nil, nil, nil, nil)
     end
end
someTimer = createTimer()
someTimer.Interval = 100
someTimer.OnTimer = timer_tick

the line
Code:
someTimer.Interval = 100

gives me the error

I did not receive an error message. Try this.

If a global (local) or "nil" is set within the same CE window, clearing the lua window will not ignore these locales and will still work.

Turn the CE off and then back on to try the code. So the previous assigned locals won't bother you.

Code:
local function TriggerBot()
     if readInteger("agame.exe+61B82C") == 2 then
          mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, nil, nil, nil, nil)
          mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, nil, nil, nil, nil)
     end
end

if someTimer then someTimer.Destroy() someTimer=nil end
someTimer = createTimer()
someTimer.Interval = 100
someTimer.OnTimer = timer_tick

Did you overwrite the createTimer function somewhere? Maybe in the autorun directory?

Are you executing that code in a separate thread? (use `print(tostring(inMainThread()))`)

`timer_tick` isn't defined, and `TriggerBot` isn't used. If that isn't the full script, there might be an error elsewhere.
