[NaS]

Public functions that have arguments which are passed by reference expect a variable (or array) as input, not a number.

If you do

Код:

decrease(5);

the compiler will give you an error:

Quote:

error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 1)

And that's basically what SetTimerEx does - the timer does NOT pass the "TEST" variable like you expected it to do, it attempts to pass its value (5) which does not work.
