1) Stop bumping - the rules state that you can't double post inside24 hours.

2) The main difference is syntax and compiler integration. The compiler can check that you call a y_timers timer correctly, but not SetTimer. If you get the parameters wrong or spell the function name wrong you will get errors. Also, y_timers correctly supports strings and arrays, SetTimerEx doesn't.

Sorry for the bumps.
So y_timers isnt "faster" or something like that against SetTimer ?

Thank you !

No, just simpler and more secure.

I find y_timers MUCH easier to use. SetTimer(Ex) gets annoying.
