Timers

[TheCrystal]

Well, I tried searching and a lot of things seemed confusing and unneeded, so I decided to ask you guys to do it instead.
I'm making something and I need to know how to use timers effectively with triggers and abilities, so I can detect when an ability is cast and when it hits the units to add the effects, damage, etc. Any ideas on tutorials or the likes?

Go see the Meat Hook tutorial. I know that the triggerer used Timers. for this meat hook, about 15 variables.

One, 15 variables? Sounds excessive.
Two, I want several dozen triggers to use the same timers. Any suggestions? I can read JASS pretty well so I may get what you're saying if you speak in those terms.
