Settimer and SettimerEx, if used often will it lead somehow to a server crash? is it the same like having too much scripts on callback "onplayerupdate" ?, because i'am currently working on a auto-save system that saves your stats to mysql without losing it on a server restart or crash.

If you're worried about people losing their stats due to a crash or restart, save a player's stats when they actually change rather than making a timer to have it save every 5 minutes.

exactly,why would you auto-save its stats every 1 minute or so.Imagine having 1000/1000 players. Just update them when stats that matter are modified(money,level etc )

If the timer is used badly, and structured so it makes the script stall, then it will cause problems.

Doesn't matter how often you fire the timer, it's about its efficiency.
