Hi, i'm trying to implement a cooldown for an ability, and i found that every second a tick event is called 20 times.

 

 

Here is my actual code:

 

Decreasing the cooldown

 @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onSonarCooldown(TickEvent.PlayerTickEvent event) {
        PlayerEntity player = event.player;

        ISonarData data = player.getCapability(EntitySonarDataHandler.CAPABILITY_SONAR_DATA).orElse(null);
        if(data != null) {
            if(data.getCooldown() > 0) {
                data.setCooldown(data.getCooldown() - 1);
            }
        }
    }

 

Setting the cooldown

data.setCooldown(10 * 20);

 

 But the cooldown isn't 10sec but less. How can i implement it better?

Well, how long is it? How do you know?

Also, the tick events usually have a Phase (START and END) as well as occasionally sub-events (Pre and Post) so if you don't pick one, your code runs more than once per tick.

Ok, resolved by ignoring END Phase.

 

Thank you so much
