Command Cooldowns?

How do you make a cooldown for a command?

 

You can use the bukkit scheduler to time stuff.

 

not a scheduler, a cooldown for a specific player.

 

Create a HashMap<String, Long>. When a player executes the command successfully, put their name and System.currentTimeMillis() into the map. Then, when the command is executed, you check if the player is in the map with map.containsKey(player.getName()). If they are, check if the time you stored minus the current time is less than your cool down. Here's some code:

Code:

HashMap<String, Long> map = new HashMap<String, Long>();
int coolDown = 20 // seconds
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commnadLabel, String[] args) {
    if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("command")) {
        if(map.containsKey(sender.getName()) {
            long diff = (System.currentTimeMillis() - map.get(sender.getName()))/1000;
            if(diff < coolDown) {
                // cool down still on
                return true;
            }
        }
        // command successful
        map.put(sender.getName(), System.currentTimeMillis());
    }
}
