Strange problem with GameTextForPlayer - jasperschellekens - 19.04.2018

I have a strange problem with gametextforplayer.
When i set the time. doesn't matter if i put 100 ms or 1000ms but it will last for about 10 seconds.
What is causing this?
Im using it in a countdown timer.

code:
PHP код:
public CharacterSelectionDelayTimer(playerid)
{
    new str[75];
    if(CSDTseconds[playerid] >= 1)
    {
        CSDTseconds[playerid]--;
        format(str, sizeof(str), "~w~Changing character in  ~g~ %d ~w~ seconds.", CSDTseconds[playerid]);
         GameTextForPlayer(playerid, str, 1000, 1);
    } else {
        KillTimer(CSDTtimer[playerid]);
        CSDTtimer2[playerid] = 1;
        SelectCharacterProceed(playerid, CHARID[playerid]);
    }
} 
The problem is not related to the timer but to gametextforplayer because CSDTseconds[playerid] gets updated every second

You are setting the gametext style to 1 which lasts for 8 seconds regardless of time set.

So better change it to another style, style 3 for example.
