Pawn [Help] warning 239: literal array/string passed to a non-const parameter

Trying to do this

Code:
return SetTimerEx("KickTimer", 100, false, "i", playerid);

but it's for some reason giving me the warning above (again, only an issue in the new compiler). What am I doing wrong and again can someone tell the best way to write this?

Well, I've fixed it... I don't know why this removes the warning, but it works so I guess that's all that matters. If someone could explain why this works instead of the original method, I'd appreciate that.

Code:
    new 

        timer[12], int[12];

    format(timer, sizeof(timer), "KickTimer");

    format(int, sizeof(int), "i");

    SetTimerEx(timer, 100, false, int, playerid);

    return 1;

it's wrong.
If you use Zeex's compiler, put this in the top of script:
#pragma warning disable 239, 214, 217

239: literal array/string passed to a non-const parameter
214: possibly a "const" array argument was intended: "array"
217: loose indentation

These warnings do not matter. You can disable them by entering that pragma code.
But if you do not want to disable it, open a_samp Include and replace

Code:
SetTimerEx(funcname[], interval, repeating, const format[], {Float,_}:...);

with

Code:
SetTimerEx(const funcname[], interval, repeating, const format[], {Float,_}:...);
