	SetTimer("lines", 15000, false);
	SetPlayerCameraPos(playerid,2047.1219,1008.4376,19.7687);
	SetPlayerCameraLookAt(playerid,2021.9423,1007.6476,15.2949);
	SetTimer("camera", 5000, false);
	SetPlayerSkin(playerid,248);

This must be one of the most common issues with new scripters. You need to actually send the playerid param for the function to actually process it.

For this, we are going to use https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/SetTimerEx

pawn Code:

SetTimerEx("camera", 5000, false, "d", playerid);

Do the same thing for all of your other timers.

Thanks, but i think there is problem because i didn't put [MAX_PLAYERS] to work for all players, but i dont know where to put it.
Please help!

Example:

pawn Code:

new Timer[MAX_PLAYERS];

Timer[playerid] = SetTimerEx(.............)

Re: Timer problem - lukas567 - 24.08.2011

But this will work just with SetTimerEx?

Re: Timer problem - =WoR=Varth - 24.08.2011

You can set anything to variable. https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Scripting_Basics#Variables
If you need to pass a value, you have to use SetTimerEx.
