How can I call a function after a user has been firing from a gun for more than 2 seconds? The timer should reset when the player lets go of mouse 1.

Probably need to detect the IN_ATTACK button and calculate how long it is active. If more than 2 seconds, call your function. There are several threads around here that show how to check when IN_ATTACK is pressed and released.

I think I will set a task when a player starts holding IN_ATTACK and remove the task when he releases it. That way I don't have to calculate how long the user has been holding the attack key.

Do you want it to continually call your function after the user has been holding the key for longer than 2 seconds, or only call it once, then repeat the whole process after the user releases the button and starts holding it again?

Hook cmdstart check if user pressing attack and its old button, then execute the function you wanted depends on the gametime.

Sure!

PHP Code:

new buttons = pev(id, pev_button);
new oldbuttons = pev(id, pev_oldbuttons);

if(buttons & IN_ATTACK)
{
    // Executed when you start holding IN_ATTACK
    set_task(2.0, "function", id); // Here you can set the amount of seconds you need to hold IN_ATTACK
}

if( oldbuttons & IN_ATTACK && !( buttons & IN_ATTACK ) )
{
    // Executed when you release IN_ATTACK
    remove_task(id);
    boolean[id] = false;
}

public function(id) {
    boolean[id] = true; // This boolean will only be true while holding IN_ATTACK for 2 seconds
}

// Then you can use that boolean in your code. 


Here is what I have done with it: Negev from CS:GO

There is abetter way you can use and what forward you used to check the attack?

There probably is but I found this very simple to use. I used FM_PlayerPreThink, probably not the best either.
