Timers are just...timers.
You set it, you let it work, then boom, you get results...
for example, I want a timer and loops through the whole online players in my server, and then check for a specific aspect in them (like if they are cops, terrorists, admin etc..)
or, I can just set a timer to send a timed message, reminders, MOTD's etc...

how timers work?
It's seriously and insanly easy!
For instance, I want a timer that goes through the entire online players, and checks if they are VIP's...
So, here's what I do

pawn Код:

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    SetTimer("VIPChekcer", 1000, true); // "1000" represents the time, "true" means the timer will repeat itself after 100 millisecs (1 second)
    return 1;
}

So this basicly sets a timer in my script...now to edit "VIPChecker" content to find VIP's... (or do anything I like)

pawn Код:

forward VIPChecker();

Just place that on top of your script, it basicly "forwards" a public function...now to make this public function, just do this, anywhere. (as long as it is AFTER the line where we forward'd the public function)

pawn Код:

public VIPChecker()
{
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++) // loops through the whole online players.
    {
        if(PlayerInfo[i][pVIP] == 1) // checks if the players (represented by "i") are VIP's or not.
        {
            // if they are I'll send them a message.
        }
    }
}
