I am making a text-based RPG for a personal project in Java. In the game the protagonist will have at his/her disposal the ability to use a spell or ability. I would like to add a cool down to the aforementioned spell or ability. I have researched both the javax.swing.Timer and java.util.Timer classes but have not found a way to go about using this cool down. I am not using threads or daemons (primarily because I don’t think I need to and I have zero experience with them).

Any help or ideas on how to go about this would be appreciated, thanks.

    Just save System.currentTimeMillis() at the time the spell is cast and check the time elapsed when the hero tries to cast it again.
