As seen on SA-MP forums..
I've recently been struggling with timers, and the fact that they aren't accurate by a damn sight. Here's an include that will make your timers accurate by ~5ms.
For example, it will turn this output from one 250ms timer and one 1500ms timer:
As you can see, the timer is roughly 25% off!
into this:
Usage
You just have to add one single line of code after you included a_samp:
Limitations
You can, by default, have only 128 timers running at the same time. If you feel the need to increase this, define TIMER_FIX_TIMER_SLOTS before you include the script.
Something to keep in mind is this include causes PAWN to work harder; therefore, you shouldn't have loads of timers running at the same time as it will require higher CPU usage.

- Even though the KillTimer function is hooked, it works just fine for timers that weren't created by the hooked SetTimer function.
- Currently, it works for SetTimerEx without strings and arrays. If you need to use strings and arrays in your timers, put this before you include timerfix:
Code:
#define TIMER_FIX_DISABLE_EX true- It works well with YSI only if you disable hooking SetTimer Ex (as described right above this). In fact, it increases the accuracy of tasks significantly.
