Timer to chat command.

[helplesskitty]

I havent really used timers before. But id like to set up something like when someone says '!uprising'

it brings up a HUD (i will make) that has a 15 minute countdown for the uprising then ends for the next command

i dont wanna be spoonfed. Would just like knowledge.

then, just make a console command to handle the functionality, and the timer...

concommand.Add( "uprising", function( _p, _cmd, _args )
	if ( !_p || !IsValid( _p ) ) then return; end

	if ( !_p.__UprisingTimer || CurTime( ) - _p.__UprisingTimer > ( 60 * 15 ) ) then
		_p.__UprisingTimer = CurTime( );

		// Run your vgui stuff:
		-- ...
	else
		// Delay
		_p:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You have " .. ( CurTime( ) - _p.__UprisingTimer ) .. " seconds left!" );
	end
end );
