How are you having trouble? Just redisplay the menu with the new time.

Well I'm having trouble on finding out how to redisplay the menu.

menu_display(). The same way you displayed it in the first place. You may need to use menu_cancel() just before re-displaying it (not entirely sure).

Could you please make me a example, I'm really not getting it atm :s

[fysiks]

I don't see how this is so hard.

menu_cancel(id)
menu_display(id, menu)

I mean where do I place them

The best way I could think of creating a timer in a menu and refreshing it, is by creating a public variable, set a task of 1 second to repeat constantly until the timer reaches 0, and in the task function, remove 1 second each time, and in the task function, keep displaying the menu. Hard to explain. Here is an example:

PHP Code:

/* Script generated by Pawn Studio */

#include <amxmodx>

#define PLUGIN    "Menu Timer"
#define AUTHOR    "GXLZPGX"
#define VERSION    "1.0"

#define TASKID 2000

new g_Timer;

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
}

public MenuFunction(id)
{
    if( !task_exists(TASKID) )
    {
        g_Timer = 5; // set the timer value to start at here
        set_task( 1.0, "TaskFunction", TASKID, _, _, "b" )
    }
    
    new szMenu[33];
    formatex( szMenu, charsmax(szMenu), "Menu Timer: %i", g_Timer )
    
    new menu = menu_create( szMenu, "menu_handler" )
    menu_additem( menu, "Item #1", "1", 0 )
    menu_additem( menu, "Item #2", "2", 0 )
    
    menu_display( id, menu, 0 )
    menu_setprop( menu, MPROP_EXIT, MEXIT_ALL )
}

public menu_handler(id, menu, item)
{
    if( item == MENU_EXIT )
    {
        menu_destroy( menu );
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
    }
    
    new data[6], iName[64];
    new access, callback;
    menu_item_getinfo( menu, item, access, data, 6, iName, 63, callback )
    
    new key = str_to_num( data );
    
    switch( key )
    {
        case 1:
        {
            MenuFunction(id) //I'm guessing that you dont want them to be able to choose an item and exit the menu.
        }
        
        case 2:
        {
            MenuFunction(id) //I'm guessing that you dont want them to be able to choose an item and exit the menu.
        }
    }
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}

public TaskFunction()
{
    g_Timer--
    
    new iPlayers[32], iNum, id;
    get_players( iPlayers, iNum )
    
    for( new i = 0; i < iNum; i++ )
    {
        id = iPlayers[i]
        
        MenuFunction(id)
    }
    
    if( g_Timer <= 0 ) // if for some reason it glitches and gets below zero
    {
        client_print( 0, print_chat, "The timer has reached 0!" )
        g_Timer = 0;
    }
}

But how to destroy the menu when the timer hits 0, tried menu_cancel?

You could loop through all the players and force them to hit 0.
