This script worked perfectly until it stopped working for no apparent reason.
Code:

function readvalue()
local al = getAddressList()
local xvelstr = memoryrecord_getValue(al['X Velocity'])
local yvelstr = memoryrecord_getValue(al['Y Velocity'])
local zvelstr = memoryrecord_getValue(al['Z Velocity'])
local healthstr = memoryrecord_getValue(al['Current Rings'])
local booststr = memoryrecord_getValue(al['Boost Gauge'])
      if healthstr ~= "??" then
      health = tonumber(healthstr)
      else health = 0 end
      if booststr ~= "??" then
      boost = tonumber(booststr)
      else boost = 0 end
      if (xvelstr ~= "??") and (yvelstr ~= "??") and (zvelstr ~= "??") then
      xvel = tonumber(xvelstr)
      yvel = tonumber(yvelstr)
      zvel = tonumber(zvelstr)
      speed = math.sqrt(xvel^2 + yvel^2 + zvel^2)
      else speed = 0 end
end
function amyform()
      if speed <= 500 then
      AmyHUD.Speed.Width = 992 * speed/500
      else AmyHUD.Speed.Width = 992 end
      if boost <= 300 then
      AmyHUD.Boost.Width = 1008 * boost/300
      else AmyHUD.Boost.Width = 1008 end
      healthbase = 100
      healthmod = 1014 * (health % healthbase) / healthbase
      if healthmod == 0 then healthmod = 1014 end
      mode = math.ceil(health / healthbase)
      if mode == 0 then
      AmyHUD.Health1.Visible = false
      AmyHUD.Health1d.Visible = false

      AmyHUD.Health4.Visible = true
      AmyHUD.Health4.Width = 1014
      end
end
function sonicform()
      if speed <= 500 then
      SonicHUD.Speed.Width = 977 * speed/500
      else SonicHUD.Speed.Width = 977 end
      if boost <= 300 then
      SonicHUD.Boost.Width = 988 * boost/300
      else SonicHUD.Boost.Width = 988 end
      healthbase = 100
      healthmod = 996 * (health % healthbase) / healthbase
      if healthmod == 0 then healthmod = 996 end
      mode = math.ceil(health / healthbase)
      if mode == 0 then
      SonicHUD.Health1.Visible = false

      SonicHUD.Health1d.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health2.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health2d.Visible = true
      SonicHUD.Health3.Visible = true
      SonicHUD.Health3d.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health4.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health3.Width = healthmod
      elseif mode == 4 then
      SonicHUD.Health1.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health1d.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health2.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health2d.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health3.Visible = false
      SonicHUD.Health3d.Visible = true
      SonicHUD.Health4.Visible = true
      SonicHUD.Health4.Width = healthmod

      SonicHUD.Health4.Width = 996
      end
end
function update()
         timer = createTimer()
         timer.Interval = 15
         timer.OnTimer = function(timer)
               if pcall(sonicform) then     --if pcall(amyform) then
                   if pcall(readvalue) then
                   readvalue()
                   else
                   health = 0
                   speed = 0
                   boost = 0
                   end
                --amyform()
                sonicform()
                else sleep(1000)
                end
         end

end
createThread(update)

Does anyone have any idea on why this happens?

Timers run in the main thread
therefore you're freezing the interface of CE for 1 second every 0.015 seconds

also no need for pcall, you should just be able to call the functions else you're calling them twice

Kinda afraid removing those pcalls because they are the ones preventing the lua engine dialog from spamming errors in case the code goes haywire. Is there any other way to disable those error messages?
Nevermind, I figured it out myself. Thanks for the heads-up, DB!
