Are you looking for PlayerChatEvent? PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent?

PlayerChatEvent- I want to check it the player(s) has/have talked.

When a player talks, save the state into a database...

(GIGO: you explain little about what you want, I will explain little too about what I know)

PlayerChatEvent is fired when a player talks(types something). Use it.

If you want to include typing commands and typing chat both, then use PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent.

It should be named as PlayerChatPreprocess

That is the question, how would I do it?

PHP:

use pocketmine\event\player\PlayerChatEvent;

Public function onChat(PlayerChatEvent $event) {
  // Code to be executed
}

I do know that, I am unsure of how I would check it the player talked/ typed something

The PlayerChatEvent is fired when a player types something. If you mean you want to check if the event is not cancelled then that would be:

PHP:

if($event->isCancelled() !== false)

Otherwise im not sure what you mean.

So lets say, if a player types something in a period of time, they wont receive the affects, however, if they don't, they will. ( I am really confused how to set it out)

Just check if the player talks during this period. Im not sure how u have the "period" setup but it wwould look something like this:

PHP:

public function onChat(PlayerChatEvent $event) {
if($periodIsEnabled) {
  // code to be excecuted if they talk during the period
  }
}

Thats all.

Just add a tag

PHP:

/**
 * @ignoreCancelled true
 */


Before the function declaration.

I already created the task (still working on it).

Anyways thanks for assistance.

Use an array class property that contains per-player information. Check that array in tasks.

@Hotshot_9930 it is a private plugin

it is basically a quiz-type plugin. The concept is that, when the player correctly answers the question, they receive special effects and rewards​
