how to attach player in a loop while on a specific map?

[Erebos]

Hello guys, I want to make a script that affects every player in one map every X seconds, for example, everyone in the map gets healed/damaged/gets an item, every 3 seconds while on that map. I tried several ways but i  always get player not attached errors.

Also, how can i damage a player and show damage numbers animation?(without using atcommand "@heal -1000"?)
I know we can manipulate a player's hp with "heal", "itemheal" and "percentheal" but this doesn't show any damage animation.

Use OnPCLoadMapEvent and addtimer

-	script	asdfjkl	-1,{
end;

OnTick:
	getitem itm,itm_qty;
	dispbottom .sec+" second(s) has passed.";
	addtimer .time,"asdfjkl::OnTick";
end;

OnPCLoadMapEvent:
	dispbottom "You have entered a special zone.";
	addtimer .time,"asdfjkl::OnTick";
end;	
OnInit:
	.time = 3000;
	.sec = .time/1000;
	.itm = 501;
	.itm_qty = 1;
end;
}

prontera	mapflag	loadevent

Untested.

you could use addtimer when they entered the map ^_~

Thank you both for the addtimer idea. and thanks for the script although I did it in other way.
