Ok guys on my css server i am scripting the with the following code.

If T knife CT, CT has 3 seconds to knife any T or he will explode.

if(T knife CT ....)
{
    CreateTimer(3.0, ByeZM, client);
    g_ctExplode[attacker] = true;
}

if(CT knife T ....)
{    
    g_ctExplode[attacker] = false;
}

public Action:ByeZM(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
    if (g_ctExplode[client])
    {
        explodect;
    }
}

Im just simplifying the code so its easier to understand.

What i want to know is: Even though a CT manages to catch a T, the ByeZM timer is still running. Is there any way to cancel the timer?

Close the Handle of the timer.

you're also going to want to have something like:

new Handle:ClientTimer[MAXPLAYERS+1] = {INVALID_HANDLE, ...};

Use that global handle and when you're creating a timer for a specific player use:

ClientTimer[client] = CreateTimer(3.0, ByeZM, client);

Your code with suggestions:

PHP Code:

new Handle:ClientTimer[MAXPLAYERS+1] = {INVALID_HANDLE, ...};

if(T knife CT ....)
{
    ClientTimer[client] = CreateTimer(3.0, ByeZM, client);
    g_ctExplode[attacker] = true;
}

if(CT knife T ....)
{    
    g_ctExplode[attacker] = false;

    if (ClientTimer[attacker] != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        KillTimer(ClientTimer[attacker]);
        ClientTimer[attacker] = INVALID_HANDLE;
    }
}

public Action:ByeZM(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
    ClientTimer[client] = INVALID_HANDLE;

    if (g_ctExplode[client])
    {
        explodect;
    }
}

You mean KillTimer the timer, right? Right?

I had a lot of touble with KillTimer, never really worked out for me.
I normally just close the handle of the timer, why?

Closing the handle is a valid method. Quoted from the wiki:

All timers are guaranteed to die either by:

• CloseHandle() being called (or on plugin unload);
• KillTimer() being called;
• Plugin_Stop being returned from a repeatable timer;
• TriggerTimer() being called on a one-time timer;
• Execution of a one-time timer finishes.

yes, but the OP did not have a mechanism in place to know the handle of the timer... so, unless something like the example I posted is implemented, you can't use CloseHandle, amirite?
