BAE Command Cooldown

Hey there! I have been trying to create a BAE Command Cooldown basically it stops the user from executing commands too quick. I have looked on the hub and didnt find any.

#2 
debounce = false
function code()
    if debounce == true then return end
    debounce == true
    -- if your code yields then you can task.spawn()
    task.spawn(function()
        wait(3)
        debounce = false
    end)
    -- otherwise you can just do your code and wait after
    -- (code)
    wait(3)
    debounce = false
end

The debounce method @Exozorcus mentioned is the most common way to do a cooldown. However, I prefer using tick() or os.clock() like this:

local last = tick()
local cooldown = 2 -- seconds

local function Code()
    if tick() - last < cooldown then return end
    last = tick()

    -- code
end

I find this shorter to write since the cooldown code in the function is only 2 lines and doesn’t visually interrupt the code inside unlike the debounce method.

This method is way better than a boolean change, as you can read the time left as well directly from a tick() so you can display that in debug or general player use

Im new to scripting, and for Basic Admin. How would i detect when a command is run, like the original command then i would run the code?
