What do you mean by cooldown? Cooldown what, exactly?

 

You can simply create a cooldown using the following:

1. We need a list of players which are on the cooldown (I always store the name of the player because when storing the player itself in a hashmap or arraylist, it sometimes glitches)

Code:java

public static ArrayList<String> playersOnCooldown = new ArrayList<String>();

2. Add this on top of your plugin:

Code:java

public effect plugin;
 
public void onLoad(){
  plugin = this;
}

3. We need to check if the player isn't on a cooldown (place this inside your method) If they are not on a cooldown, we put them on a cooldown

Code:java

if(playersOnCooldown.contains(p.getName()){
  p.sendMessage("You are on a cooldown!");
}else{
  playersOnCooldown.add(p.getName());
  Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(plugin, new Runnable(){
    public void run(){
      playersOnCooldown.remove(p.getName());
    }
  }, 20*5); //Means 5 seconds (20 ticks = 1 second. 20 * 5 ticks = 5 seconds)
  //Perform your actions here
}

4. Also make sure you player 'final' in front of player p:

Code:java

final Player p = e.getPlayer();
