Solved Anyone know how to put a cooldown every time you click (LMB)

[JadeInnit1]

Hello, Ultra beginner noob here. I was just testing out skript the past day and wanted to make an explosion happen in front of the player (already done that) And to stop people from spamming it I want a 1-second delay between each press of the LMB. This is prob simple and my tiny brain can't handle it so I thought I'd ask you, smart people.

Code so far is.

Skript version: 2.6.2.
Skript author: Quiettee (me)
on leftclick holding wooden shovel:
cooldown:1
create an explosion of force 1 10 block infront of player

Any and all help would be much appreciated

on leftclick holding wooden shovel:
  if {-p::%uuid of player%::cooldown} is not set:
    set {-p::%uuid of player%::cooldown} to true
    create an explosion of force 1 10 block infront of player
    wait ? ticks
    delete {-p::%uuid of player%::cooldown}

on leftclick holding wooden shovel:
  if unix timestamp of now is greater than 0+{-p::%uuid of player%::cooldown}:
    set {-p::%uuid of player%::cooldown} to unix timestamp of now+%cooldown?%
    create an explosion of force 1 10 block infront of player

Mind If I ask what the line "if {-p::%uuid of player%::cooldown} is not set:" and "set {-p::%uuid of player%::cooldown} to true" does

well we set some variable so we can keep track of the delay. In fact, if the variable is set, then the user still has a delay, if not set, then he can already use the item
I apologize if something is not quite correctly described, I do not know English perfectly

As for the variable itself, usually the '-' symbol is put in the 'Skript' config so that variables with this prefix are not saved on disk, only in RAM. That is, after a server restart, all player delays will not be saved
Value in Skript's config

    default:
      
        type: CSV
      
        pattern: (?!-).* # <== here
      
        file: ./plugins/Skript/variables.csv
      
        backup interval: 0 hours

but I still prefer to use the second variant of code than the first one you mentioned
Just do not forget when the player exits to free memory from this:

on disconnect:
  delete {-p::%uuid of player%::*}

I see thank you for the explanation! Helped a lot
