if (cmd == "runforme") {
loadtimerforplayer[player.ID] = NewTimer("TimerRuns",1000,10,player.ID);

1. Why do you save it in an array? You do realize that you don't need to keep an instance to it, right?
2. While the timer is running, the player who this timer was intended for might leave and another player can take their ID. You'll need to add a few more checks:

Code Select Expand

NewTimer("TimerRuns", 1000, 10, player.ID, player.Name, player.UID, player.UID2, player.IP);

Code Select Expand

function TimerRuns(id, name, uid, uid2, ip)
{
    local player = FindPlayer(id);
    if (player == null) return;
    if (player.ID != id || player.Name != name || player.UID != uid || player.UID2 != uid2 || player.IP != ip) return;

    MessagePlayer("This is just an example; this is not the actual code", player);
}3. Alternatively, you could use this.
