I have 2 timers,

(Timer A)If A<Timer() Then A=Timer()+1 :
(Timer B)If B<Timer() Then B=Timer()+300 :

Now i want be able to change these two timer once the program is running, by giving the user a box to type in the change they want to make e.g.+40,200,400etc.
Also can anyone tell me how to set the code so that if i multiply by 2 then it would be twice as fast as the other timer or if i decide to multiply by 0.97 then it would be 0.97 times faster in the other timers etc.

To make it simple, you could use the input command.

On the second part, I'm not entirely sure what you mean?
You could have sleep standard value / timerValue, if you want to make it such as that a value of 2 on timerValues makes the execution twice as fast (approximately, theoretically as you postpone the processing for half the default time).
