half of them has the timing less than 1 second with repeating.

    citytimer = SetTimer("CheckCity",MinTimer,1);
    jobtimer = SetTimer("JobCheck",MinTimer,1);
    floodtimer = SetTimer("UpdateCmdFreq",MinTimer + 500,1);
    newmem = SetTimer("Member",200000,1);
    cheater = SetTimer("SendMSG2",900000,1);
    metimer = SetTimer("Shout",MinTimer,1);
    afklol = SetTimer("vAFK",55000,1);

    cop = SetTimer("CheckCop",MinTimer,1);
    owner = SetTimer("CheckOwner",2000,1);
    return 1;
}

In best configuration, don't remove.

Re: Problem with timers - iPLEOMAX - 28.02.2012

If I were you, I would use a single timer (500 ms interval) for all the functions.

Under a single callback, You can create static variables and increment it by 500 on every tick.
Name the variables to each of the functions. When a variable reaches your desired time, execute the functions.. and reset the variable.

I hope you understand, if you didn't, I'll PM you tomorrow.

well, I thought about replace interval with something like how DarkScripter said.
So, if somebody have other ideas for use timers more easy and useful then tell plz
