If your script is covered in isTimer and isElement checks to hide debug warnings from deleted elements not being dereferenced (making the variable nil) you will regret it when that element ID or timer pointer has to be re-used by MTA in a weeks time and your script starts acting strangely and you won't have a clue why. Dereference destroyed elements and disconnected players!

I'm just confused by what it means when it says the element has to be re-used by MTA in a a weeks time.. I'm not sure what it means to be 100% honest. Can anyone explain to mean what that means? I would appreciate it. Thanks!
