What is better? - zsoolt997 - 10.01.2018

Create a timer for all players (~500ms timer) or looping through all the connected players in a ~500ms timer too.

I will use y_timers.

If the code you're going to execute isn't too heavy you might use a task and loop through the connected players with y_iterate:
PHP Code:
task my_task[500]()
{
    // General code here.
    foreach(new i : Player)
    {
        // Per-player code here.
    }
} 
As an alternative, you might use a ptask, much better in my opinion:
PHP Code:
ptask my_player_task[500](playerid)
{
    // Per-player code here.
} 
Player tasks start to run when players connect while global tasks run always. You can read more about tasks here:

Anyway, if you're wondering what's better regarding your original question, a timer for each player is the way to go. Take a look to this thread:
