I want that every command can be used only every 3 seconds by a player. So that their chat box will not flood like this.

So you want it so that a player can only use a command once every three seconds?

What command system are you using? E.g. YCMD, ZCMD, RCMD, or just strtok under OnPlayerCommandText.

I can type every seconds and it always saying You will have to wait 3 seconds to write/type any cmd again!

What you mean by this You're probably using a loop inside your teleport command?

Ok. When using ZCMD, you can prevent a player from using a command by returning 0 under

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerCommandReceived(playerid, cmdtext[])

You can also detect when a player successfully uses a command with

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success)
//success is equal to the value returned from the command.

If you want to limit a player to using a command once every three seconds, you'll need to use a variable to store the last time the player typed a command.
e.g.

pawn Code:

new lastcommand[MAX_PLAYERS];

So this system would need to look like this:

pawn Code:

new lastcommand[MAX_PLAYERS];

public OnPlayerCommandReceived(playerid, cmdtext[]){
    if( lastcommand[playerid]!=0 && gettime()-lastcommand[playerid]<3 ){
        //This will make sure last command is not 0 (will be 0 if the player hasn't typed a command yet)
        //And make sure 3 seconds have NOT passed since the player last typed a command using a UNIX timestamp- see below for details
        SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFF0000FF,"You can only type ONE command every THREE seconds!");
        return 0;
    }
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success){
    if(success){
        lastcommand[playerid]=gettime();
        //sets the variable to the current UNIX timestamp- see below for details
    }
}

public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid,reason){
    lastcommand[playerid]=0;
    //reset the variable so the next player who connects will not experience issues
    return 1;
}

This system uses a UNIX timestamp, which is basically the number of seconds since Janurary 1st 1970.

OMG! iThis is kinda tutorial to me. thanks +REP

Anyway. Its saying Server unknown command.

[Hawky133]

Oh sorry.
Change

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success){
    if(success){
        lastcommand[playerid]=gettime();
        //sets the variable to the current UNIX timestamp- see below for details
    }
}

to

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success){
    if(success){
        lastcommand[playerid]=gettime();
        //sets the variable to the current UNIX timestamp- see below for details
    }
    return 1;//Forgot this!
}

and now its not working nothing happens.. i have a Luxadmin filterscript with anti spam should i disable it or remove from the script?

So you're using everything from this:

pawn Code:

new lastcommand[MAX_PLAYERS];

public OnPlayerCommandReceived(playerid, cmdtext[]){
    if( lastcommand[playerid]!=0 && gettime()-lastcommand[playerid]<3 ){
        //This will make sure last command is not 0 (will be 0 if the player hasn't typed a command yet)
        //And make sure 3 seconds have NOT passed since the player last typed a command using a UNIX timestamp- see below for details
        SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFF0000FF,"You can only type ONE command every THREE seconds!");
        return 0;
    }
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerCommandPerformed(playerid, cmdtext[], success){
    if(success){
        lastcommand[playerid]=gettime();
        //sets the variable to the current UNIX timestamp- see below for details
    }
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid,reason){
    lastcommand[playerid]=0;
    //reset the variable so the next player who connects will not experience issues
    return 1;
}
