How to change buy time in CS:S

Type mp_buytime 0.5 in the server console to let players buy for 30 seconds after the round starts. The value is in minutes.

mp_buytime

Sets how many minutes after the round starts players can still buy weapons and equipment.

mp_buytime <minutes>

Examples

mp_buytime 0.25

15 seconds of buy time.

mp_buytime 1.5

A minute and a half to buy.

Arguments

minutesRequired
Buy time in minutes. Decimals are allowed.

What it does

Once the buy time has passed, the buy menu closes until the next round. Decimal values work, so 0.25 gives 15 seconds. Players also have to stand in a buy zone unless a plugin changes that.

The game's own description: How many minutes after round start players can buy items for.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS:S server first.
