You mean server variable or player variable?

pawn Code:

if(test[playerid] == 1) // Run the timer here, e.g SetTimer and the timer is only activated when player var is 1

You could create a player timer then.

PHP Code:



new Timer:mytimer[MAX_PLAYERS] = {Timer:-1, ...};

In your function, where you set that variable to 1 you should set the timer also.

PHP Code:



if(MyVariable[playerid] == 1)

    mytimer[playerid] = repeat MyFunction(playerid);

OnPlayerDisconnect, or when you put that variable on 0:

PHP Code:



if(mytimer[playerid] != Timer:-1)

{

    stop mytimer[playerid];

    mytimer[playerid] = Timer:-1;

}
