Pausing timers

I know that you can pause timers for KotH (/pausing-the-koth-timer.25763/), so it should be possible for cp_mcmurdo depending on your entity setup. I'd need to look at and play around with your entities or you could set it up as a multi-point KotH. What is the base gamemode you are using and what is the timer entity? (Use the trigger_capture_area to pause whatever timer you're using.)
logic_timer will reset after a restart
team_round_timer will not. I haven't tried using multiple timers at once, but it may well be possible to use many as long as they're all hidden from the hud. You can mark them as silent so the announcer doesn't say anything either. Then use pause/resume for accurate pausing.

I have the team_round_timer pausing when a player is on the point but it isn't directly linked to the changing of the points, would i have to link it to be able to stop what is happening. To be more specific, since it isn't linked, if a player stands on the point but doesn't cap the timer says 'X seconds before points switch' but then the point switches. I could probably link it but id have to do some testing. I will try now.
Try using OnStartCap to pause it. When the player enters the trigger_capture_area, the timer will pause. Then try OnBreakCap (if someone blocks them or if they die) and/or OnEndCap (if they capture the point) to unpause the timer.
