How add delay to a command

[SkymHaru_]

Help, I have tried to place a delay for the commands, but it does not help me at all, could you help me?

I don't speak English, that's why the code is in another language.

Server:

function ablanca(source)
    if isElementWithinMarker(source, cablanca) then
        if getElementData(source, "slicencia") == true then
            if getPlayerMoney(source) >= 2000 then
                takePlayerMoney(source, 2000)
                giveWeapon(source, 4, 1, true)
                    outputChatBox("Has comprado un #EE850Ecuchillo #FFFFFFpor $2000.", source, 255, 255, 255, true)
                else
                    outputChatBox("No tienes dinero suficiente", source, 255, 255, 255, true)
                
            end
        end
    end
end
addCommandHandler("ablanca", ablanca)

Add the player to a table index and remove it inside setTimer, then you will have check if the player element is in the table at the beginning of your function.

Another way is to store getTickCount() in player's index, then calculate the elapsed time with getTickCount() - stored tickCount of player's index.

There is also a useful function you can use.

Which represents DNL291's second way, but with it's own ecosystem.

local Time = 1 --Minutes

local CoolDown = {}

function ablanca(source)
	if isElementWithinMarker(source, cablanca) then
        if getElementData(source, "slicencia") == true then
            if getPlayerMoney(source) >= 2000 then
                takePlayerMoney(source, 2000)
                giveWeapon(source, 4, 1, true)
                outputChatBox("Has comprado un #EE850Ecuchillo #FFFFFFpor $2000.", source, 255, 255, 255, true)
				CoolDown[source] = true
				setTimer( function()
					CoolDown[source] = nil
				end, Time*1000, 1)
            else
                outputChatBox("No tienes dinero suficiente", source, 255, 255, 255, true)
            end
        end
    end
end
