This might be a silly question, but are timers seperately threaded from the main plugin thread?

I ask this because I have a timer that sends PrintHintText of a pre-formatted string every 0.1 seconds, but although rare I've seen it some weird texts that were cut-off.

For example, the main plugin would format ("Current Time is %i", GetTime()) occasionally, but the text sent to the clients from the timer would have something like ("Current Ti").
So I was wondering if timers are running separately from the main execution thread.

From the SM sourcecode they are ran through OnGameFrame hook internal in SM while doing gametime check for you.

All pawn code runs on a single thread. Furthermore at any time t, either SM bytecode (pawn code) OR valve's srcds code is running on the server (but never both at once).

The entire server is ran single threaded.

Spoiler

And to be more complete: Only SM/MM extensions can run on separate threads.

I see. There must be something else I did wrong then.
Thanks.

There is a max length for what text you can put into a usermessage. Might be your issue, but it's not that low of a buffer.
