Hi, how can i get user play time?
get_user_time resets on map change. I want to get time is user online from last connection.
Example:
Player connects, plays for 10 minutes, map changes, and player continue to play for 10 minutes on new map. His play time should be 20 minutes.

How can i achieve this?

Use SQL or Vault or a File to save their play time at the end of the map

I'll take that as second option. How does hl engine handle this? Is there any way to hook some function?

Handle what? You need to save the information at the end of the map. Search around and look at the various methods you can save and then implement one of them

check played time

Ok, i made something.

#include < amxmodx >
#include < amxmisc >

new global_iPlayerTime[ 33 ];
new Trie:global_tChangeLevel;

public plugin_init( )
{
    global_tChangeLevel = TrieCreate( );
    LoadTimes( );
}

LoadTimes( )
{
    if( file_exists( "mapchange_times.ini" ) )
    {
        new f = fopen( "mapchange_times.ini", "rt" );
        
        new sFileData[ 128 ], sLength[ 64 ];
        new sAuthId[ 35 ];
        
        while( !feof(f) )
        {
            fgets( f, sFileData, sizeof( sFileData ) - 1);
            
            if( !sFileData[ 0 ] ) 
                continue;
                
            parse( sFileData, sAuthId, charsmax( sAuthId ), sLength, charsmax( sLength ) );
            TrieSetCell( global_tChangeLevel, sAuthId, str_to_num( sLength )  );
        }
        
        set_task( 3.0, "_TaskDelete_Times", _, _, _ );
        delete_file( "mapchange_times.ini" );
    }
}

public _TaskDelete_Times( )
{
    TrieClear( global_tChangeLevel );
}

public client_authorized( id )
{
    new szAuthId[ 35 ], iValue = 0;
    get_user_authid( id, szAuthId, charsmax( szAuthId ) );

    if( TrieGetCell( global_tChangeLevel, szAuthId, iValue ) )
    {
        global_iPlayerTime[ id ] -= iValue ;
    }
}

public client_connect( id )
{
    global_iPlayerTime[ id ] = get_systime( );
}

public client_changelevel_disconnect( id )
{
    if( !is_user_bot( id ) )
    {
        new szAuthId[ 35 ];
        get_user_authid( id, szAuthId, charsmax( szAuthId ) );

        new f = fopen( "mapchange_times.ini", "a+" );
        
        fprintf( f, "^"%s^" %d^n", szAuthId, get_systime( ) - global_iPlayerTime[ id ] );
        fclose( f );
    }
}

client_changelevel_disconnect is forward called on map change.
EDIT: Solved by saving user id instead of authid.
