Timeleft Modifier
v0.0.1

Simple way to add/remove time of timeleft. It is very easy to use, see Commands and Cvars sections for more informations.


Requirements

• AMX Mod X 1.8.x
• SnapShot 1.8.2 base and mod (see Installation section)

Commands

• tm_addtime value
Add time ( in minute ) of timeleft

• tm_removetime value
Remove time ( in minute ) of timeleft

Cvars

• tm_looptext text ( default value : "An administrator can add/remove time to timeleft and changemap to the nextmap !" )
text is the text which will be looped every X seconds

• tm_loopfrequence time ( default value : 120 )
time is the time ( in minute ) for text looped

• tm_delaytochangemap time ( default value : 10.0 )
time is the time ( in second ) for the delay changemap (more informations, see Notes section)

Installations

• Plugin :

Place the TimeleftModifier.amxx in your ./amxmodx/plugins/ folder.
Write TimeleftModifier.amxx at the bottom of your ./amxmodx/configs/plugins.ini file

• SnapShot :

http://www.amxmodx.org/snapshots.php (base and mod)
Unzip the archives in your ./amxmodx/ folder

Notes

• If you don't install SnapShot, you will see a dot after delay time
• After removing time, if timeleft is lower than 0, the map is changed to the nextmap after X seconds (tm_delaytochangemap)
• You can add/remove a maximum of 999 minutes

Use Pcvars. At least use set_[p]cvar_num() when setting a cvar. (refering to mp_timelimit)

Is a looped message really needed here? IMO, no. If an admin needs to know about it then they can find out other ways. It doesn't need to clutter the screen and tell everybody on the server about admin commands.

Also, make the access flag changeable via cmdaccess.ini. If you don't know how I can show you.

Done.

I will add a cvar to enable/disable looped message.

How ?

Use pcvars for all cvars:

new g_pCvarTimeleft

    g_pCvarTimeleft = get_cvar_pointer("mp_timelimit")

    
// elsewhere
    set_pcvar_num(gCvarTimeleft, iNumberHere)

IMO, it should be removed since there are better methods to do it more efficiently and less cluttered (meaning a plugin that combines all messages that need posted on a regular basis).

public ClientCommand_AddTimeleft(id, level)
{
    if( get_user_flags(id) & level )
    {
        //... 


Oh, and note registering as a console command because it can be used in both the server and client consoles.

Last but not least: IIRC, if the new timeleft is less than 0 it will automatically end the map and change to the next map (amx_nextmap).

The plugin automatically change to the next map after X seconds (see cvars).

Edited.

PS : I have commented the part of code looping message.

No, what I'm saying is the server will do it already. Test it without your changing the map functionality.

[Honors]

I don't understand.

            if( false ) 


Then test it. Set mp_timelimit to 3. Then play on your server for 2 minutes. Then do "tm_removetime 2"

It should show the scoreboard then change the map after mp_chattime has elapsed.

You're right. But why replace "if( newTimeLeft <= 0 )" by "if( false )" ?

If you don't replace this, there isn't bugs.

If was shorter explain doing it that way rather than either rewriting the plugin for you or trying to explain what code to comment out.

But, if you would understand what it does after the changes then just test it as a "black box" then you would see that the code when the if condition is true is not needed.

I'm 99% sure it will work and the map change code is unneeded but I will test it later to change the 99 to a 100.
