You can use unix timestamps.

For example,

pawn Код:

PlayerInfo[playerid][pMutedTime] = gettime()+minutes*60; // Setting the time based on a minute variable

pawn Код:

if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pMuteTime] >= gettime())
{
       PlayerInfo[playerid][pMuted] = 0;
}

But if a user logs off they can manipulate the system so you'd need to store the minutes left somewhere if you use timestamps.

I would suggest to use gettime as Abagail did and if you mute player for example 5 min and player leave after some mins,you can stop timer and save mins remaining and when player come back online to start timer with remaining mins.
