Solved Detect time between messages

hello

I want to check how long time since the player wrote the last message in chat. Is it possible?

 

You can store when they type using System.currentTimeMillis and then just subtract the two and get the difference.

 

Derpiee Please make an example of that :/ I don't quite understand it

Code:java

          //When they use a command:
          long firstCommand = System.currentTimeMillis();
          //You need to store this somehwere, IE: HashMap/Map
 
          //When they try to use a command again run a check from the time you saved and the current time. 1000 = 1 second.
          //In this case we are using 5 seconds so the player can't use a command until it has been 5 seconds since the last commmand.
          if(System.currentTimeMillis() - firstCommand > 5000){
              //Let them do command
          } else {
              //Hasn't been 5 seconds so they can't use a command.
          }
