A method/property on the timer script object to directly trigger it without waiting the end of current cycle.  
I know we can do it with additional tag and tag change script for example, but with lot of timer, it will be more convenient to be able to simply for tiggering by setting a property on the timer object.

Thanks to Chi, for the solution :
