I want to create a timer that runs every 5 min (300 sec). However, I'm confused as how to use the TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE flag. I basically want to execute a command every 5 minutes from when the server first starts and I don't want to ave te timer cleared because of a map change. So how would I do this?

Pass just the TIMER_REPEAT flag in the flags argument.

CreateTimer(300.0, YourFunctionHere, _, TIMER_REPEAT);

Check if the timer has repeated and if it has, run the desired code. And to start the timer automatically after a map change, just stick it in OnMapStart(). You could also include a small bit of code to prehook round_end and kill the timer in order to avoid errors.

He doesn't want TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE.
