Yeh it's better to use ply instead of everyone
[lua]
if PAYDAYS then
function Payday(ply)
ply:Money_Add( PAYDAY_AMOUNT )
if PAYDAY_SOUND then
ply:EmitSound("items/ammo_pickup.wav")
end
end
timer.Create( "payday_timer", PAYDAY_INTERVAL, 0, Payday, ply)
end
[/lua]
Try that see if its any different.
Try precaching the sound you play.
Put this before timer.Create()
[lua]
util.PrecacheSound("items/ammo_pickup.wav")
[/lua]
