How to create a cooldown for this script? I have been trying it for a while now.

Code:

Read the tutorial and at least try and do part of it yourself. I'll help you if you have a problem with that.

    if(equali(buffer1,"/sknife"))
    {
        if( get_cvar_num("disable_blades") > 0 )
        {
            client_print(id,print_chat,"[Zombiemod]Blades are not allowed")
        }
        else
        {
            
            ts_giveweapon(id, 35, 255, 14)

            return PLUGIN_HANDLED
        }
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    if(equali(buffer1,"/contender"))
    {
        if( get_cvar_num("disable_contender") > 0 )
        {
            client_print(id,print_chat,"[Zombiemod]Contender is not allowed")
        }
        else
        {
            
            ts_giveweapon(id, 36, 255, 14)
            client_print(id,print_chat,"[Zombiemod]You spawned Contender G2")
            return PLUGIN_HANDLED
        }
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
}

This gives me a error of using the return and return <value>. I tried
to remove return PLUGIN_HANDLED but it didnt work. then all commands execpt the
/glock18 spawn the glock18. I tried to remove the return, but it didnt work either.
Iam not very good at coding (actually iam not good at all) and
I really cant understand this tutorial better since english is not
my native language. Please help

You didn't try, look at this:

Code:

public plugin_init
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, AUTHOR, VERSION)
    //all say commands
    register_clcmd( "say","say_handle")

    public say_handle(id)

Give me some fairly intelligible code and I'll help.

Well that happened because I am using this thing as part of another code and I copy pasted that from there. Then I removed the unneeded things from my plugin_init and must have accidentally removed that } too.

Thank you very much. I already gave you +karma on your last post, so can't give it on this yet. By the way, I know that I am not a good coder. This is my first coding project since amxx scripting is the first time I really got interested in coding. I have tried to start coding c++ and other languages like that, but I always just got too bored. And everyones got to start somewhere.

FOSS: where you pay by accepting patronising insults.

How would buffer1 ever be equal to "glock 18" when its contents is supplied by parse()?

You only need two return statements; add an 'else' at the end of the if/else if block and return PLUGIN_CONTINUE. You'd then return PLUGIN_HANDLED at the end of say_handle().

Of course, the never-ending if/else block could be condensed to one or two loops/arrays to give (or disallow) each and every weapon.

How can I replace set_task with fakemate? I tried but it didn't work...
Or I don't need to replace it?

Code:

 
new plugon, plug;
new timecount, seconds;
new g_creathud, g_timeleft;
public plugin_init()
{
register_plugin("mKSeRv Timeleft Countdown","0.2","KIL"); 
plugon = register_cvar("amx_mk_tlcd","1");
timecount = register_cvar("amx_mk_seconds","59");

plug = get_pcvar_num(plugon);
seconds = get_pcvar_num(timecount); 
g_creathud = CreateHudSyncObj();
set_task(1.0, "countdown", 666666, "", 0, "b");
}
public countdown()
{ 
g_timeleft = get_timeleft() 

if(g_timeleft <= seconds && plug == 1)
{
if(g_timeleft <= 10) set_hudmessage(139, 0, 0, 0.7, 0.88, 1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.01, 0.01, -1);
else if(g_timeleft <= 30) set_hudmessage(0, 255, 255, 0.7, 0.88, 1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.01, 0.01, -1);
else set_hudmessage(255, 255, 255, 0.7, 0.88, 1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.01, 0.01, -1);
ShowSyncHudMsg(0, g_creathud, "%d second(s) remaining", g_timeleft);
}

}

I think set_task is fine in your case.
