Your code won't work properly (if you were to use that in OPU) if the player goes AFK since the updates are not sent when a player is paused.Or you could consider it to be a new feature where the countdown doesn't decrease if the player goes AFK :P

You can optimize it:

pawn Code:

if(GetTickCount() > PlayerInfo[i][JailReleaseTick) { unjail }

where JailReleaseTick is when the player must be unjailed.If the player isn't jailed then set JailReleaseTick to FLOAT_INFINITY.

Though there is a function call in the above code, it hardly makes any difference.You can make a local variable and call GetTickCount just once and use the same tick for other checks.

At end of the thread, cessil uses OPU for making a SYNC System and for many anti-cheat checks.

It is a myth that "adding code to OPU will slow down the server".

I use OPU for most of the simple anti-cheat checks and it does no harm!

I am guessing that using many timers will internally slow down the server because it needs to check every timer in every server tick!
