[SOLVED] How to check if message is sent while scheduleSyncDelayedTask in progress

I was wondering how, and if it's possible to check if a message has been sent within a x amount of time of another message, and if it is, stop the message from being sent.

Current code:

Code:java

 
package me.crazy.noshout;
 
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerChatEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class NoShout extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
    public void onEnable(){
        PluginManager pm = getServer().getPluginManager();
        pm.registerEvents(this, this);
    }
 
    public void playerChat(PlayerChatEvent e){
        if(e.getMessage().contains("!")){
            getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // Don't know what to do here
                }
 
            },30 * 20L); //30 seconds
        }
    }
}
 

Just ask if you need anymore information.

You can add the player to a list and check if the player is already in the list before sending.

Code:

ArrayList<String> pending = new ArrayList<String>();
//outside the method
 
//inside the method
if (pending.contains(e.getPlayer().getName()) {
pending.add(e.getPlayer().getName());
getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
//send the message
pending.remove(e.getPlayer().getName());
}
}

Thanks for the reply, will use that, but could that also allow some players to chat after 2 seconds because of when the scheduler is run?

Set the delay to 40 ticks.

 

Ok then, thanks.
