pawn Код:

{
GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~g~Go!", 2500, 3);
TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, 1);
SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Go!");
SetTimer("CountingDown", 1000, false);
}

Instead of SetTimer("CountingDown", 1000, false); you need to use KillTimer();

Add something like KillTimer("CountingDown", playerid) Not sure...

See wiki.
KillTimer

Also, I suggest you SetTimerEx, not SetTimer.

Re: countdown error - livests - 02.03.2012

i already try

new timer;
public CountingDown(playerid, time)
{
if(time != 0)
{
new string[5];
format(string, sizeof(string), "%d", time);
GameTextForPlayer(playerid, string, 1200, 4);
timer = SetTimerEx("CountingDown", 1000, true, "ii", playerid, time-1);
}
else
{
GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~g~Go!", 2500, 3);
TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, 1);
SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Go!");
KillTimer(timer);

}
return true;
}

and
SetTimerEx("CountingDown", 1000, false, "ii", playerid, time-1);
SetTimerEx("CountingDown", false);

We dont need to store the timer if its not repeating
There are two ways to write countdowns,
first with an repeating timer and an player array
or just with delayed recursion, like that

pawn Код:

forward CountingDown(playerid, time);
public CountingDown(playerid, time) {
    if(0 < time) {
        new number[8];
        valstr(number, time--, false);
        GameTextForPlayer(playerid, number, 1200, 4);
        SetTimerEx("CountingDown", 1000, false, "ii", playerid, time);
    } else {
        GameTextForPlayer(playerid, "~g~Go!", 2500, 3);
        TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, true);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Go!");
    }
}

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/countdown", true) == 0) {
    CountingDown(playerid, 3);
}
