Question

[Kiri]

This is more of a question I've had for a while, but are there any ways to continue a process in skript even after restart?

Ex: if a skript has wait x seconds then do something, would there be way to process that even after restart if a restart occurs during the wait. Well, without the need to loop often.

I do believe so. This example isn't quite the same thing, but if the timespan is stored in variables, restart doesn't seem to affect it.
so in this skript, it's a chat cooldown, but if the time difference is still 'running' it will continue after a restart.

on chat:
    cancel event
    set {_chatcooldown} to difference between {chatcooldown.last.%player%} and now
    if {_chatcooldown} is less than 5 minutes:
        if {chatmessage.%player%} is equal to "%message%":
            send "That's the same as your last message. Wait 5 minutes to chat the same thing."
            stop
    set {chatmessage.%player%} to the message
    set {chatcooldown.last.%player%} to now

So the timer will pick up where it left off, I think, it seems that way in the few tests I just did.

Timespans don't use timers of any sort

It would have to use some sort of timer to check if the difference is 5 minutes or not, would it not? If I'm off on that please do explain^-^

Timespan works using hashmap and take the correctly time of when player execute the event action , then check the hashmap setted & if time required is passed out.

Hope im correct & you understand what i mean.

You can just calculate time differences with math.

I think so... it should still work for the OP right, after the server restarted? It works for chat but I may still be mixing up concepts here.

The timespan works after a server restart instead of timings that will be automatically stopped.

I understand that part, I'm more or so wondering about stuff outside of cooldown. Ex: on break of stone: wait 5 seconds - set event-block to stone
