How would I create a loop that executes a command every x amount of seconds while the player is alive.

How about CreateTimer(1.0, DatTimer, client, TIMER_REPEAT) and keep a Float:g_fTimerCount[MAXPLAYERS + 1] increasing by 1.0 each iteration of the timer. If they're alive, increase g_fTimerCount. If they're dead, set g_fTimerCount back to 0.0 and wait for them to spawn. If g_fTimerCount >= CommandDelay, g_fTimerCount = 0, IssueCommand. Pesudodrunkocodo.

Can you write this out in code?

For example, if I already have:

public Event_PlayerSpawn(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast) {
		new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"))

//Create the timer stuff here

}

public Action:whattodo(Handle:timer, any:user_index)
{
//Does whatever
}

What do I need to put within the Even_PlayerSpawn meathod so that it executes whattodo on the client every few seconds.

PHP Code:

public Event_PlayerSpawn(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast) {
        new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"))
        CreateTimer(1.0,whattodo,client,TIMER_REPEAT);
}

public Action:whattodo(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
    if(IsPlayerAlive(client))
    {
        //dostuff
    } else {
        CloseHandle(whattodo);
    }
} 


Something roughly like this would do.

CloseHandle(whattodo); ? why not use return Plugin_Stop;

[necavi]

Because I don't tend to write many timers using TIMER_REPEAT, and while I considered return Plugin_Stop, I wasn't entirely sure it worked in that instance.

I suggest use global Handle, create timer using Handle array index by client index... (what I writing here ?)

Anyway.

*edit
dam, I noticed if in timer userid return 0, it empty that array index.....
Then let use only client indexs

Spoiler

PHP Code:

new Handle:g_hTimers[MAXPLAYERS+1] = { INVALID_HANDLE, ...};

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEventEx("player_spawn", spawn);
}

public spawn(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));

    // Found player by #userid
    if(client != 0)
    {
        // Handle by client index is not empty, timer ?
        if(g_hTimers[client] != INVALID_HANDLE)
        {
            KillTimer(g_hTimers[client]); // Remove timer
            g_hTimers[client] = INVALID_HANDLE; // Empty Handle
        }

        // Player spawn in team 2 or 3
        if(GetClientTeam(client) >= 2)
        {
            g_hTimers[client] = CreateTimer(2.0, Timer_player, client, TIMER_REPEAT);
        }
    }
}

public Action:Timer_player(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
    if(IsClientInGame(client) && IsPlayerAlive(client))
    {
        // Do command alive player !!
        PrintToServer("Player %N", client);
    }
    else // When player not found or alive!
    {
        g_hTimers[client] = INVALID_HANDLE; // Empty Handle
        return Plugin_Stop; // Stop timer
    }

    return Plugin_Continue;
}
