Thanks xero!

So you're saying something like this?

// ..
    register_clcmd("+plant","doPlant")
    register_clcmd("-plant","unPlant")
    // ..

public doPlant(id) {

    if(!task_exists(id)) {
        set_task(3.0,"doPlant",id, ... ) // Hmm
    }
    message_begin( MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, 108, {0,0,0}, id )
    write_byte( 3 )
    write_byte( 0 )
    message_end()

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public unPlant(id) {

    if(task_exists(id)) {
        message_begin( MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, 108, {0,0,0}, id )
        write_byte( 0 )
        write_byte( 0 )
        message_end()

    }

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

Ya, but more like:

#define PLANT_TASK 5567

    // ..
    register_clcmd("+plant","doPlant")
    register_clcmd("-plant","unPlant")
    // ..

public doPlant(id) {

    if(!task_exists(PLANT_TASK + id)) {
        new szCmdArgs[2]
        szCmdArgs[0] = id
        set_task(3.0,"PlantMine", PLANT_TASK+id, szCmdArgs, 1 )

        message_begin( MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, 108, {0,0,0}, id )
        write_byte( 3 )
        write_byte( 0 )
        message_end()
    }
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public unPlant(id) {

    if(task_exists(id)) {
        message_begin( MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, 108, {0,0,0}, id )
        write_byte( 0 )
        write_byte( 0 )
        message_end()

        // Remove the task, since progress bar was incomplete...
        remove_task( PLANT_TASK + id )
    }
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}


public PlantMine( szCmdArgs[] )
{
    new id = szCmdArgs[0]

    client_print( id, print_chat, "You planted a mine!" )

    // Put your actual Mine Entity create code here...

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

I used a constant Task ID as a base, so that other plugin tasks dont collide, like if 2 plugins have task IDs that are player IDs.. this way it is a player ID + a constant, making it more unique for a task ID..

Oh, hmmm..

Why do you always use sz in front of your vars?

[xeroblood]

Well, in University I learned Hungarian Notation, which is just a naming convention...
All integers start with a small i, all floats start with a small f, all strings start with an s, and null-terminated strings (like in Small C) start with an sz..
Also, all of my globals would start with g_

So, if I had a global string to hold a name for example, I would use:

g_szName

That way later in my code, I would automatically know that this variable is global, and it is a null-terminated string. And I wouldn't have to go and look up the declaration to know that..

It isn't neccessary, just a habit I got into...

The age old advice: don't invent new cmds to bind buttons to. People are stupid and don't know how to bind their shoelaces. ;-)

You can look at a plugin I made awhile back: The Stealth Bag: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=85752
It has progress bars, and uses the normal USE button for everything. No new cmds to bind buttons to needed at all.
