im coding a function that works on key E , when someone press e it gives him god mode for 5 secs but i need help in how to make a timer that when the 5secs pass the god mode function goes off.

Simply use the set_task() function.

well i would'nt be asking if i knew how to use it

Well, mr. "best plugin maker", I doubt you managed to hook the E button but can't create a single task. Show your code, try using it and show the results.

He answered your question giving you the next step. Simply learn how to use set_task() and things should become obvious. If you have issues after implementing set_task(), post your code and we can help you resolve your further issues.

#include <amxmodx>

new iGodMode[33]

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

	register_forward(FM_CmdStart, "FwCmdStart")
}

public FwCmdStart(id, uc_handle, randseed)
{
	if(!is_user_connected(id) || !is_user_alive(id))
		return FMRES_IGNORED

	static button; button = get_uc(uc_handle , UC_Buttons)
	static oldbutton; oldbutton = pev(id, pev_oldbuttons)

	if(button & IN_USE && !(oldbutton & IN_USE) && !iGodMode[id])
	{
		iGodMode[id] = true
		set_user_godmode(id, true)

		set_task(5.0, "RemoveGodMode", id)

		client_print(id, print_chat, "GodMode ON!")
	}

	return FMRES_IGNORED
}

public RemoveGodMode(id)
{
	if(!is_user_connected(id))
	{
		if(task_exists(id))
			remove_task(id)
		
		return PLUGIN_HANDLED
	}

	iGodMode[id] = false
	set_user_godmode(id, false)
	client_print(id, print_chat, "GodMode Off!")

	return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

it's a quick thing guys, it doesn't hurt to help.

People don't learn by just getting everything given to them. This is the Scripting Help section where people come to learn how to write their own plugins, not ask for fully complete plugins. If you want to request a completed plugin, there is a forum for that here.

I don't think you need to check if connected/alive in cmd start...and you never need to do both as alive has a connected check built in so you'd only ever need to check alive. I'd remove the entire if statement.

You do not need to check if the task exists, just call remove_task().

I'd do this

PHP Code:

public RemoveGodMode(id)
{
    iGodMode[id] = false

    if ( is_user_alive( id ) )
    {
        set_user_godmode(id, false)
        client_print(id, print_chat, "GodMode Off!")
    }

    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

whatever, both work

When RemoveGodMode() is getting called, the task has already completed so there's no task to remove. However, the task should be removed in client_disconnect() for the case where a player disconnects within the 5 seconds and potentially another connects in the same slot.

Wow, ungrateful much? He's just trying to give advice on how to write better code. Like I said before, this is the type of help that should be given in Scripting Help (generally).
