<code cpp>
VAULTSCRIPT vaultmp::Timer (*CreateTimerEx)(vaultmp::Function, vaultmp::Interval, std::string, ...);
native CreateTimerEx(const func{}, interval, const def{}, {Fixed,Float,_}:...);
</code>
== Parameters ==

'''[[Function|vaultmp::Function]]''' (C++ only) - the function of the timer

'''func''' (PAWN only) - the name of the timer's function

'''[[Interval|vaultmp::Interval]]''' - the timer interval in milliseconds

'''def''' - the parameter list of the function. This is a string containing a sequence of:
*i - Integer (4 byte)
*l - Long integer (8 byte)
*f - Floating-point (8 byte)
*s - String (const char*)

'''...''' - the arguments. Must match the previously defined definition.

== Return value ==

Returns a [[Timer|vaultmp::Timer]] referring to the newly created timer.

== Usage example (C++) ==

<code cpp>
Result VAULTSCRIPT MyTimer(unsigned int a, unsigned int b, const char* c)
{
// Timer function
}

void VAULTSCRIPT exec()
{
CreateTimerEx(reinterpret_cast<Function>(&MyTimer) , 5000, "iis", 1, 2, "www.vaultmp.com");
}
</code>

== Usage example (PAWN) ==

<code c>
forward MyTimer(a, b, const c{});

public MyTimer(a, b, const c{})
{
