Cooldown Timer In PlayerListener

Hi,

For some reason I am getting an error when I try to add a timer in my Player Listener and config, here is my player listener code,

Code:

package me.stantheman68.chatcooldown;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
 
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
 
public class PlayerListener implements Listener {
   
    public static ChatCooldown plugin;
    public static Long interval = getConfig().getLong("Seconds");
 
    public PlayerListener(ChatCooldown instance) {
        plugin = instance;
    }
    List<String> cooling = new ArrayList<String>();
   
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e) {
        // TODO: event checks
   
        String name = e.getPlayer().getDisplayName();
   
        // Cancel event if player is cooling down
        if(cooling.contains(name)) {
            e.getPlayer().sendMessage("I am sorry you must wait " + getConfg().getPath("Seconds: " + " More seconds!"));
            e.setCancelled(true);
        } else {
            cooling.add(name);
        }
    }
}

How may I fix this?

 

Code:java

package me.stantheman68.chatcooldown;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
 
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
 
public class PlayerListener implements Listener {
 
    public static ChatCooldown plugin;
    public static long interval;
 
    public PlayerListener(ChatCooldown instance) {
        plugin = instance;
        interval = plugin.getConfig().getLong("Seconds", 0);
    }
    List<String> cooling = new ArrayList<String>();
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e) {
        // TODO: event checks
 
        String name = e.getPlayer().getDisplayName();
 
        // Cancel event if player is cooling down
        if(cooling.contains(name)) {
            e.getPlayer().sendMessage("I am sorry you must wait " + getConfg().getLong("Seconds", 0) + " More seconds!"));
            e.setCancelled(true);
        } else {
            cooling.add(name);
        }
    }
}

I fixed some stuff in your code, but note that this still does not work properly. Like you never remove players, the message you send is incorrect, etc.

 

How can I add a timer though?

I read the thread and tried one the delay thread's, but it didn't work.

 

Use System.currentTimeMillis in a hashmap and compare values.
