In mervbot:
I dont understand how time things, I mean, for example:

How do I do something every X seconds?
How do I do something X seconds after command !Y?

Some more I forgot, but any help would be great...[/list]

Writing a dll?

In spawn.cpp look for EVENT_Tick, it triggers every second. There's also countdown[n], which decreases every second, so that's how you do #2.

Yay, I love it when the bot has built in features like this!

Okay, I got that part. Now, for the second: I was thinking I could set a timer to X seconds on !Y, but that would reset the timer each time someone did !Y, I need it for each person who does it....

Set up a big countdown array? :-/

or "tag" the player using set_tag and get_tag

And do a get_tag for every player in EVENT_Tick? I think that might be even more ineffecient.

I didn't say it's more efficent... Maybe it is, maybe not.
But i consider tagging as more secure and clean.

Because, when u define a huge countdown array...
Let's say countdown[50], what if there are suddenly more then 50 ppl in one arena? And if there are only 20, not even half of the array is used.
