Solved Combat Tag plugin problem

So I am working on a combattag plugin, but I have a problem.
Most of the stuff works. I made a timer for when 1 player hits another, and It counts just fine. The problem is, when I hit a player, the counter starts, but if I hit the player again, it wount reset and start again, it just keeps counting.. So I want it like this: When I hit a player it should start counting, but If I hit a player again, I need it to repeat.

Code:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void entityDamageByEntityEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){
 
        final Player attacker = (Player) event.getDamager();
        final Player attacked = (Player) event.getEntity();
        if(event.getDamager() instanceof Player && event.getEntity() instanceof Player){
 
            if(!(inCombat.contains(attacker))){
 
                inCombat.add(attacker);
                inCombat.add(attacked);
 
                attacker.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.YELLOW + "TCCombatTag" +
                        ChatColor.GRAY + "]" +ChatColor.RED + "You have tagged " + ChatColor.GOLD
                        + attacked.getName() + ChatColor.RED + " for " + ChatColor.GOLD +
                        plugin.getConfig().getLong("Time_In_Combat")
                        + ChatColor.RED + " seconds!");
                attacked.sendMessage(ChatColor.GRAY + "[" + ChatColor.YELLOW + "TCCombatTag" +
                        ChatColor.GRAY + "]" + ChatColor.RED + "You have been tagged by " + ChatColor.GOLD
                        + attacker.getName() + ChatColor.RED + " for " + ChatColor.GOLD +
                        plugin.getConfig().getLong("Time_In_Combat")
                        + ChatColor.RED + " seconds!");
 
 
                plugin.getServer().getScheduler().runTaskLaterAsynchronously(plugin, new Runnable() {
 
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        attacker.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You are no longer in combat!");
                        attacked.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "You are no longer in combat!");
 
                        inCombat.remove(attacker);
                        inCombat.remove(attacked);
 
                    }
                },  plugin.getConfig().getLong("Time_In_Combat") * 20);
            }   
        }   
}

 

Neymar11 Don't have it repeat. Have a HashMap that stores the UUIDs and their count. For instance when someone attacks another player.
"myHashmap.put(player.getUniqueId(), plugin.getConfig().getLong("Time_In_Combat")*20)" You would also want to use a repeating task to degrade the Hashmap's values.

Their count? You mean I should have a timer for each player?

 

Neymar11 Correct. Take a look at my LoggingPreventor on github. Here

 

When i made my combat tag plugin i did like said above.

When a player hits another player, i added their name to a hashmap<string, integer>... String being the playername, Integer being the taskID of the timer.

If they are hit the second time, i got the taskID from the hashmap and canceled the task, then started another task.

So pretty much....

Every time a person is attacked, check if they are in the hashmap, if they are, then cancel the old task and start a new task.

Idk if that makes sense or not, but if you have more questions feel free to ask.
