I'm making a speedo and whats better:
-Making just 1 timer looping threw all players and getting their speed and setting the textdraw string
or
-Making a timer for every player and getting their speed setting the textdraw string?
Because since iv made this the 1 big timer looping threw all players i experienced some lag in my server.

How many players do you have on your server? And are you checking to see if they're in a vehicle / connected aswell?

I agree, although i have to say i don't use them. From what i have read about them, they seem to do your job pretty well, along with, well, anything

Example timer:
This is the way i do it (well, the reduced version, my version is bigger and logs distance)

public SpeedTimer()
{
    static string[64];
    for(new i; i < GetMaxPlayers(); i++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i) && IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(i))
        {
            format(string, sizeof(string), "Speed: %i", GetPlayerSpeed(i));
            SetSpeedString(i, string);
        }
    }
}

Two years ago, I made a system to check if the player had a crash with their vehicle. I thought a timer per player would do the trick, but it seemed that a loop through all players worked better. Now I'm using y_timers, although I dumped my vehicle crash system.
