It can't work... Did you test your plugin at last ?!

[AcidoX]

No i didnt, but it complited without errors, im now not on my PC, i dont have CS to test it...

[Arkshine]

Try to figure out why.

You create severals tasks with the same id, plus, you loop through 'num' which doesn't hold any value ( 0 ), and players[] is empty too... You forget to retrieve the players... Why did you release something that you don't know if it works as expected or not... Really I don't understand that.

A working code based on your code ( you can reduce using register_message() Edit : Like joaquimandrade's code below ):

#include <amxmodx> 

const MAX_CLIENTS = 32;
new gMsgidRoundTime;

public plugin_init() 
{ 
    register_plugin( "Timeleft as Roundtime", "AcidoX" , "1.0" );
    
    gMsgidRoundTime = get_user_msgid( "RoundTime" );
    set_task( 1.0, "UpdateTimer", .flags = "b" );
}

public UpdateTimer()
{
    static Players[ MAX_CLIENTS ];
    static Num;
    static i;
    
    get_players( Players, Num );

    for ( i = 0; i < Num; i++ )
    {
        message_begin( MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, gMsgidRoundTime, .player = Players[ i ] );
        write_short( get_timeleft() );
        message_end();
    }
}

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx> 

public plugin_init() 
{ 
    register_plugin( "Timeleft as Roundtime", "AcidoX" , "1.0" );
    register_message(get_user_msgid("RoundTime"),"msgRoundTime")
}

public msgRoundTime(msgid, msgDest, msgEnt)
{
    set_msg_arg_int(1,ARG_SHORT,get_timeleft());
}

@joaquimandrade : Better to use register_message() or FM_WriteShort forward ?

I never saw WriteShort.

About the plugin, it seems that RoundTime is only sent when the round start and then the clients do the calculations so, there isn't the need of having a loop at all. I tested the code I've posted and it works but the counter disappear after the bomb being planted.

PHP Code:

set_task( 1.0, "UpdateTimer", .flags = "b" ); 


Wtf? Someone can say how he placed .flags = there and it worked o_O

[Arkshine]

Instead of writing _, _, _, you say explicitly you want to modify this param ( flags being the label name in the function header ) so you don't need to specify the others. ( tip by Joaquim but he has probably seen that on Sawce's plugin. )

eg : set_task( .function="CheckActiveHives", .time=4.0, .flags="b"); or set_task .function="CheckActiveHives", .time=4.0, .flags="b";

[xPaw]

Ah so for example i can have like

PHP Code:

Blubb( id, param1, param2, param3, param4, param5 );

Blubb( id, .param3 = 1, .param5 = 5 );
