Is there a way that when you press a binded key, let's say named "charge" , and then when you keep your finger on it, and then how much seconds you keeped pushing it, that function you got. Example:
I want to get more health.

So, I push button "health" - if I kept pressed it for 1 second, I got 10 health, if I pushed it 2 seconds, I got 20 health, etc.
Is this possible?

well yeah. If you made some commands using + and -, using set_task() with a function that gave you 10 HP everytime it ran through, it'd work you'd just need to bind to the + command.

set_task is a poor way to do it. Only use set_task if you have to. One thing he right about is using a +command, and a -command. What you could do is register a command.

Then using an array for every player (of size 32), dump the systemtime in there, do that on a +command. On the -command, get the systime again and compare the times and see how much time went by, then multiply the amount of seconds that went by, by 10.

example:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <fun>

new iTime[32] = { 0, ... }; 

public plugin_init(){ 
    register_plugin("+Health","0.1","Cr!Z"); 

    register_clcmd("+health", "health_gettime"); 
    register_clcmd("-health", "health_give"); 
} 


public health_gettime( id ){ 
    iTime[id] = get_systime(); 

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED; 
} 

public health_give( id ){ 
    new iCurrentHealth = get_user_health( id );
    new tempTime = get_systime(); 
    new iHealth = (tempTime - iTime[id]) * 10  + iCurrentHealth; 
    if ( iHealth > 100 ) iHealth = iCurrentHealth; 
    if ( iHealth != 0 ) set_user_health( id, iHealth ); 
    iTime[id] = 0; 

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED; 
}

Now, that may work, it may not. If it doesn't work, its because amxmodx cant handle +/- commands because the client doesn't send the + or -. But im betting it does.

Hmm, ok, I'll have to remember that in future ^.^
One thing about that code though. If he's holding down the key, then he wants to know hes gettting health, while holding it down, like the healthchargers in HL, so he can tell how much he's gained, rather than getting it in one big lump at the end.

for that, you'd have to use a set_task set every second, and the -health removes the task. I dont like it though...

[mobytoss]

Hmm, Im sure you *could* do it with your method though.

Couldn't you fool around with get_user_button.... something like

while(get_user_button(id)&"charge")

Erm... get_user_button only works for built-in commands and "charge" would need to be an integer and not a string anyway

The best idea is storing the start time on +stuff , and computing current time - start time on -stuff..

Wow! So much replies !!!

Anyway, mine idea is that it doesn't happen while its charging, when you are charging you shouldn't be able to see it.
Lets say, guys is charging 10 seconds. He gets 100 health! But he gets 100 health AFTER he charged up, not that he gets 10 health for every second immediateley, because this thing I'm working on is tricky, and one function is called only if 1 second chargetime. If I make it like getting each time function 1 for 1 second, you wouldn't be able to get function 2 & 3, etc. I'll try, thanks for the help guys.

the code snippet above does just that. It doesn't show the health change at all until after they stop pressing it.
