SetTimer Question - WinterAce - 16.12.2012

I have set these three timers to show the following things when entering a vehicle;
Amount of fuel, vehicle name and the speed.

pawn Код:
SetTimer("SpeedTimer", 80, true);
    SetTimer("FuelTima", 80, true);
    SetTimer("VehicleTima", 80, true);
My game mode is currently being hosted and not laggy at all but I am just wondering when more players join will it start lagging loads having these timers?

Well timers set to 80 ms are quite demanding, so I hope for you that your server is well enough to handle that.

Yeah I have a good host so hopefully it'll be ok, just wanted to check whether timers could cause lag. Thanks.

I'm sure it will, if there are more than 50-100 players online and most of the people try to avoid not to use lower than 500 ms. The timer to 1000 ms will be just fine.

Depends on what you will do under these timers, and you want to start them each time someone connect, or they are global timers with loop inside?

As I see all them repeat each 80ms, use just one, not three. Do everything in one callback.

Well it definitely can't be ideal, but it could work. Try it first.
