Lo sry in a timer window

You could use this

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player("player number") then
   call TimerDialogDisplay("Your Timer", true)
endif

Tht won't cause desuncs right ?

Now that I think about it, yes it will lol... So you can set a local variable for the timer window and set the variable to the timer itself and then after the that call the function so it should look like this:

function Timer takes nothing returns nothing
    // local timer tim = CreateTimer() -----> Don't worry about this
    local timerdialog tw
    
    if GetLocalPlayer() == Player("player number") then
        set tw = bj_lastStartedTimer
    endif
    call TimerDialogDisplay(tw, true)
endfunction

Maybe... lol

I would set tw to null when declared, just to make sure, your current way the TimerDialogMessage will crash the thread for all players but "player number"

however, Im not sure whether or not it causes the game to crash or not

No problem death, let me know if it works or not
