I assume it needs to be static, if there is such a thing

There is! Gotta do it like this...

PHP Code:

    public static Action dotimerz(Handle Timer, any data)
    {
        //code;
        return Plugin_Continue;
    } 


Strange this is though, it's giving me a syntax error...

( template.sp(62) : error 001: expected token: "(", but found "," )

which is this code.

CreateTimer(120.0, MethMap.dotimerz, objectx.userid);

How do I get a function pointer from a methodmap function?

I suppose it's expecting you to call it. Looks like a bug.

yea it is lmao. It needs a func pointer but idk how to get a func pointer from a methodmap.

I don't think it's expected to be supported - the current methods of passing functions are being phased out in favour of the machinery for anonymous function support.

ahhh I c, what are the (so far) future methods of passing function pointers?

[BAILOPAN]

For all the limitations we have with functions, passing a static function around should be workable. Please file a bug and I'll fix.

What exactly is the & operator for in the old syntax and how can it be used in the new syntax?
Compiles:
native bool somefunction(&Float:value);

Doesn't compile
native bool somefunction2(&float value);

[Impact123]

Search for "reference operator" or "pass by reference" to find out what the & does in this context.

Try

PHP Code:

native bool somefunction2(float &value); 


to fix the compilation error.

float &value
