Let's say I'm creating a timer.

CreateTimer(20.0, OnTimer, client);

player [1] disconnects, but another one connects straight after, asserting id [1]

public Action OnTimer(Handle timer, int client)
{
	if (!IsValidEntity(client)) return Plugin_Stop;

	//do something with the player
}

How to check if this is another player already? I know there's a way to check his entity reference, but in this case I have to create DataPack with client+reference every time I use Timers?
Is there a better way?

You could create a timer for each player, and kill the timer when the player disconnects.

PHP Code:

Handle hTimer[MAXPLAYERS + 1];

public void OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
    hTimer[client] = CreateTimer(20.0, Timer_Something, client); // Add TIMER_REPEAT flag if you want the timer to repeat
}

public void OnClientDisconnect(int client)
{
    delete hTimer[client];
}

public Action Timer_Something(Handle timer, int client)
{
    // do stuff
}

Hm, that's a good option, but what if players are able to call multiple timers? That would be a mess.

See the second example on https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Timers_(...#Simple_Values.

You want to pass the userid or client serial to the callback, which is unique for each client.

Wow thanks! I've missed that part was in a tutorial.
