How do we access the current timeleft (ie when a player types timeleft)? There's a command to get the current time left, GetMapTimeLeft(), but how can set we the time left?

I'm also interested in finding out how to alter the time life until map change.
Maybe there is an offset or anything like that ?

I've seen a method with getting mp_timeleft cvar pointer and later setting time left with set_pcvar_num(pointer, value) but it is a bad method.

try
set_cvar_num("mp_timeleft", desiredTime)
that's what the documentation tells us to do.

Use get_timeleft(), then alter mp_timelimit value as you need. You can't set timeleft directly as I know.

What?

[t3hNox]

Lol, I obviously meant "time left" not "time life"

@Liverwiz
The problem with that method is that if original time limit is, for example, 20 mins. and a map has been played for more than these 20 mins. then changing mp_timelimit value will result in map change. At least I've experienced this issue.

Well what I'm doing is when nobody is on a team, the timer resets (happens a lot on deathrun servers, even when they're full), so I'm trying to prevent this.

Where do you see that command? Are you talking about Source or HL1-based games?

I'm talking about Source, and it's in the API.

You should post in the SourceMod section, then. This is the AMXX section.
