Solved How can I delay the use of items?

How is exactly making a repeating task better than only checking two intervals outside of a loop?

 

so if its not better, why pmmp Team create (Tasks) ?!

You're using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

@MinekCz
The most efficient method to solve this problem would be to check that the time interval elapsed since the last use of the item is bigger than 3 seconds.

I made a simple example for you.

PHP:

private $timesSinceLastToolUsage = [];

    public function onBreakWithItem(BlockBreakEvent $event) {
        $player = $event->getPlayer();

        if(!$event->getItem() instanceof Tool) { // making sure the item used is a tool
            return;
        }

        $name = $player->getName();
        $timeSinceLastToolUsage = $this->timesSinceLastToolUsage[$name] ?? null;
        if($timeSinceLastToolUsage !== null and (microtime(true) - $timeSinceLastToolUsage) < 3) { // if the player has used a tool before and 3 seconds haven't passed, the event is cancelled
            $player->sendMessage("3 seconds haven't passed since the last time you used a tool to break a block!");
            $event->setCancelled();
        } else {
// if the 3 seconds have passed or it's the first time a player uses a tool, the player can use the tool and the time will be registered
            $timeSinceLastToolUsage[$name] = microtime(true);
        }
    }

 

you are right . tasks will make server laggy . dont use them if you can .

 

repeating tasks could be used to do job on time whitout any events .

 

Thx this method is the best
