client.hours = "whatever the staff member chooses";
client.minutes = "whatever the staff member chooses";
client.seconds = "whatever the staff member chooses"; 


And now comes the daunting task of making the time decrease properly.
I am pretty much stuck on this bit, each way I attempt to have a crack at it, it just screws up/doesn't function properly.
This is all I have got so far but i am pretty sure if more than one person is jailed the server side this.whatevers will change and screw it all up.

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide(){
if(params[0] == "jailcheck"){
if(client.hours > 0 || client.minutes > 0 || client.seconds > 0){
client.jailed = 1;
}else{
client.jailed = 0;
}
this.hours = params[1];
this.minutes = params[2];
this.seconds = params[3];
}
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated(){
onTimeout();
}
function onTimeout(){
triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "jailcheck", client.hours, client.minutes, client.seconds);
settimer(1);
} 


PS Its in a weapon added to all players.
Any suggestions are welcome

You really do not want to store jail variables as client. vars, as they can be modified through memory editors etc.

It would also be very inefficient to have a triggerserver every second for jailed players, it would be better to have a serverside NPC loop through all jailed players within a level each minute or so,
