It's "inst:DoPeriodicTask(...)" with a colon after "inst", in lua that's equivalent to "inst.DoPeriodicTask(inst, ...)", you need inst as the first parameter.

I don't really understand why it's work like this, I'm using guide for auras as example, and there no info about what are you saying.

local myFunction = function(inst)
	-- Do something
end

inst:DoPeriodicTask(1.0, myFunction)

Why in DPT should be inst?.. In the whole guide no info about it...(

Mostly I'm using this part, it's closer to thing that I trying to do.
 

local mustHaveTags = { "player" }
local cantHaveTags = { "playerghost", "INLIMBO" }
local mustHaveOneOfTheseTags = nil

inst:DoPeriodicTask(1.0, function(inst)
	-- Do nothing if the entity has a health component and is dead, or it is a playerghost.
	if inst.components.health and inst.components.health:IsDead() or inst:HasTag("playerghost") then
		return
	end
	
	local x,y,z = inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()
	
	local players = TheSim:FindEntities(x, y, z, 10, mustHaveTags, cantHaveTags, mustHaveOneOfTheseTags)
	
	-- Run through all the players within range...
	for _,v in ipairs(players) do
		-- ...and if they have a health component, add 1 to their health.
		if v.components.health then
			v.components.health:DoDelta(1)
		end
	end
end)

In lua there are no classes, so it is usually implemented using tables. Such as:

MyClass = {}

function MyClass:MyMethod() end

Here, calling MyClass:MyMethod() is the same as MyClass.MyMethod(MyClass)

If you still don't understand, you should go learn the basics of Object Orientated Programming(OOP) and OOP in lua.

Oh, I see. Okay. For now, my code looking like this.

It's working, but sanity healing works without stop. It's not canceling for some reason, and I don't understand why...

because you cancelled the task you use to cancel sanity_heal_end task, you didn't cancel the healing task

Hmm, I thought they equal (in those guide it's working like this...). I will test it, thanks.

Well I'm really don't know what to do, it's just don't work))

I need it to heal sanity for /time/, and after it stop until I reuse this item. Maybe I'm doing everything wrong and should use DoTaskInTime?..

I think you could probably make this into a buff instead of having to do this all by yourself.
Buffs have on attach, detach, and extend, so it's probably more flexible to work on those and make the instrument apply the buff to you and others around you.

Okie-dokie, I'll try, but maybe you have some examples?

In forgetmelots.lua file, it has a similar buff

Thanks, but I made it work for now with _my_ method somehow
Now I want to understand another thing...
