So far I did this :

#SelectExpand
  1ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer1 = NULL;
  2ALLEGRO_TIMER *timer2 = NULL;
  3
  4...
  5
  6timer1 = al_create_timer(1.0 / 60);
  7timer2 = al_create_timer(1.0 / 20);
  8
  9...
 10
 11al_register_event_source(event_queue, al_get_timer_event_source(timer1));
 12al_register_event_source(event_queue, al_get_timer_event_source(timer2));
 13
 14...
 15
 16al_start_timer(timer1);
 17al_start_timer(timer2);
 18
 19...
 20
 21if(ev.type == ALLEGRO_EVENT_TIMER) {
 22   // ???
 23}

How to check if timer1 has ticked or timer2 has ticked and then do actions?

Use two different event queues and two different event structs.

You can check the .timer.source subfield of the ALLEGRO_EVENT.

#SelectExpand
  1switch (ev.type)
  2{
 case ALLEGRO_TIMER:
    if (ev.timer.source == timer1)
    {
       // do things for timer1
    }
    else if (ev.timer.source == timer2)
    {
       // do things for timer2
    }
    break;
 default:
    break;
 15}
