Slayerrobe, your post didn't make any sense either
but 1675, I suggest you elaborate or else no one will know what you're talking about, and then your suggestion won't be approved.
Actually, I understood the original (albeit brief) post. 
In Scratch, there is only one timer which is like a global variable for all sprites. The user wants the ability to have more than one timer, probably such that each sprite has their own timer.

Re: timers
The problem is, changing a variable (let's say you do: forever wait .1 sec, change timer by .1) takes up time (a fraction of a second) after several minutes, your timer will be slow. So, you can't just use and change variables sadly...

he meant save the current time in a variable and use timer-mytimer or whatever.
use lists if you really need a lot of 'em.
mods, pls close this

You can only ask for your own topics to be closed, you can't ask mods to close down topics that are not yours.

Re: timers
Use:
set {variable v} to ((timer) + (number)).
