its not settimer its SetTmer

ok now its for making a function run after the given time example:

pawn]USAGE: SetTimer(funcname[],interval,repeating);[/pawn]

lets make a timer heal for example

[pawn]stock PlayerHealth()
{
SetPlayerHealth(playerid,100);
}

[/pawn]

the command:
   [pawn]else if (strcmp(cmd, "!heal", true) == 0) {
              SetTimer("PlayerHealth",5000,0); // PlayerHealth function will be submitted after 5seconds
               SendCleintMessage(playerid, GREEN,"You will be healed in 5seconds to prevent abuse..");
              }
       return 1;
    }[/pawn]

ok now lets learn the usage of each function:

SetTimer(funcname[],interval,repeating);

funcname[] : the name of the function that should be submitted
interval: how much time you wait for the function to start
repeating: how many times repeating if we put 0 just once if 1 never endz...

and the counts of the timers = 1000 = 1second 10000 = 10sec 60000 = 1min etc..

example2:

if you want the player not to die

add this function

[pawn]else if (strcmp(cmd, "!neverdiel", true) == 0) {
              SetTimer("neverdie",5000,1); // now the player will be healed every 5 seconds
               SendCleintMessage(playerid, GREEN,"You used neverdie function..");
              }
       return 1;[/pawn]

[pawn]stock neverdie()
{
SetPlayerHealth(playerid,100);
}
[/pawn]

Hope it helps

That wouldn't work in Pawn, though.
[pawn]
SetTimer("PlayerHealth",5000,0);
[/pawn]
[pawn]
stock PlayerHealth()
{
SetPlayerHealth(playerid,100);
}
[/pawn]
Where is it getting playerid from?
