Hello, i need help on timers

SetTimer("Timer",300000, 1);

say it does that but when it executes Timer, it just does it constantly, is there a way for it to only do it once then repeat so for example it only does the function once every 5 mins

[Jakku]

pawn Code:

SetTimer("Timer",300000, true);

[Correlli]

pawn Code:

SetTimer("Timer", 300000, 0);

or just

pawn Code:

SetTimer("Timer", 300000, false);

if you want to run it once.

But

pawn Code:

SetTimer("Timer", 300000, 1);

will repeat every 5 minutes (300000 miliseconds).

nice ok ty

is there also a way to make it change from 5-10 mins so instead of it being 5 mins it can be random between 5-10mins every time it starts again?

[Correlli]

pawn Code:

forward myTimer();

// use this at OnGameModeInit/OnFilterScriptInit.
SetTimer("myTimer", randomEx(300000, 600000), false); // 5 - 10 minutes.

public myTimer()
{
  // your code..

  // start the timer once again.
  SetTimer("myTimer", randomEx(300000, 600000), false); // 5 - 10 minutes.
  return true;
}

pawn Code:

stock randomEx(minnum = cellmin, maxnum = cellmax) return random(maxnum - minnum + 1) + minnum;
/* i think this function is created by Y_Less, but i'm not sure. */

Thanks, that works perfectly
