Jmeter - timer does not work between threads in the same http request

I have a http request with a BSF postprocessor script where I try to collect some data from the request. I have 10 users who call this request. I want to add a small delay between each request and I tried using a constant timer. The problem I have is, sometimes 2 or 3 HTTP requests are executed at the same time and that causes some logic disturbances in my postprocessor script. I tried using a constant throughput timer and still I end up with the same result. What is the correct way to send requests at constant time intervals?

Are you talking about threads when you say 'users'? if this is the case, I think that setting a ramp-up period should work for you. Check this other question - Mario Trucco
Can you be more specific about "logic disturbances" in the post processor? This seems to be an issue in the first place. - vernjan

A timer is specific to each thread so what you are tring to do will not work.

If you want to ensure your query is only executed by 1 user then use Critical Section Controller:

Thanks for the responses. I was finally able to achieve it just by increasing the ramp-up time. Thanks Mario for your quick response.
