Hi guys, I've tried making a delayed pause system where the initial pause command is rejected by the server but I can't find a way to do that. This is the code I have and the problem is that the code calls itself back since I am hooking onto that event.

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>
#include <tf2>
#include <tf2_stocks>
#pragma semicolon 1

public Plugin:myinfo =
{
	name = "Kei Improved Pause",
	author = "Kei and Rubiksguy890",
	description = "Improved Pause",
	version = "1.0.0.0",
}
new pauseCount;
new String:pauseState[32];
new Handle:g_currentCounter = INVALID_HANDLE;
new maxPauseCount = 3;

public OnPluginStart()
{
	pauseState = "live";
	AddCommandListener(Listener_Pause, "pause");
	LoadTranslations("common.phrases");
	
}

public OnMapStart()
{	
	pauseCount = 0;
}


public Action:Listener_Pause(client, const String:command[], args)
{
	new String:client_name[32];
	GetClientName(client, client_name, sizeof(client_name));
	
	if (StrEqual(pauseState, "unpausing") || pauseCount == maxPauseCount)
	{
		PrintToChat(client, "\x04[\x01R890\x04]\x01 Cannot Pause.");
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	else if (StrEqual(pauseState, "live") && pauseCount < maxPauseCount)
	{
		PrintToChatAll("\x04[\x01R890\x04] %s \x01has paused the game", client_name);
		pauseState = "paused";
		pauseCount += 1;
		FakeClientCommand(client,"pause");
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	else if (StrEqual(pauseState,"paused"))
	{
		PrintToChatAll("\x04[\x01R890\x04] %s \x01is unpausing the game", client_name);
		pauseState = "unpausing";
		//ServerCommand("sm_start");
		if (g_currentCounter != INVALID_HANDLE)
		{
			return Plugin_Handled;
		}
		g_currentCounter = CreateTimer(1.0, CountdownTimer, client, TIMER_REPEAT | TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE);
		pauseState = "live";
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

public Action:CountdownTimer(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
	static timePassed;
	
	new timeRemaining = 5 - timePassed;

	PrintToChatAll("\x04[\x01R890\x04] %d \x01seconds till unpause", timeRemaining);
	
	if (timePassed++ >= 5)
	{
		g_currentCounter = INVALID_HANDLE;

		timePassed = 0;
		
		FakeClientCommand(client, "pause");
		
		return Plugin_Handled;
	}
	
	return Plugin_Handled;
}

Maybe something like this?
I'm very sleepy so there might be typos but search for "g_bLetItPause" to see what I changed.

I made it such that the timer automatically

FakeClientCommand(client,pause)

but the thing is that this makes the command listener call itself again. Should I remove the command listener and readd it?

[psychonic]

Part of your problem is that timers don't tick while the game is paused. No frames are processed.

[Kevin_i]

ESEA has a countdown timer before the unpause actually occurs

[psychonic]

I didn't say that it wasn't possible. SM timers are just bound to game frames, rather than the game's Think function. It's something that I'm looking at changing for the next major SM release.
