Well the title probably sounds funny, but is there a way to detect how long you hold down your mouse click. For example if your mouse click is "+attack" and you hold it down, is there a way to detect how long you hold the mouse click before you release it and return the value? Thanks much for you help.

Moving this to Scripting Help from Support/Help.

Maybe... if you started a countdown from the +attack action, but I don't know if there is any action that represents the mouse un-clicking... So I guess not...

-attack ;)

Well if you want to calculate it in seconds I would do something like this:
Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <engine>

new g_iSecs[33];

public client_putinserver(id)
{
    g_iSecs[id] = 0;

    if(!task_exists(id))
        set_task(1.0 , "count" , id , _ , _ , "b");
}

public count(id)
{
    if(!is_user_alive(id))
    {
        g_iSecs[id] = 0;
        return;
    }

    if(get_user_button(id) & IN_ATTACK)
        g_iSecs[id]++;
    else if(!(get_user_button(id) & IN_ATTACK) && g_iSecs[id])
    {
        client_print(id , print_chat , "* You held the attack button for %d second%s" , g_iSecs[id] , (g_iSecs[id] == 1) ? "" : "s");
        g_iSecs[id] = 0;
    }
}

It are being memory leakish, add client_disconnect and remove_task(id)

set_task(1.0, ... makes this method potentially not able to detect mouse clicks between "count" function calls.

What about looping at 0.1 second intervals then doing secs = time[id] * 10?
