Let’s say you are making a game and it has an input that asks you what do you want to do.

 bal=0
while True:
  question=input("What do you want to do?")
    if(input=="beg"):
      print(Adding 500$ to your balance.)
      bal=bal+500
    elif(input=="bal"):
      print("Balance: "+str(bal))

I want to make a timer so the user cannot use beg command for 30 seconds. But still be able to use other commands -I’ll probably add more commands.
Btw I couldnt do indents here the website page went downward but imagine the while true loop and ifs has correct indent.

>Solution :

You can do it with the help of time module.

import time
bal=0
start = 0
while True:
  question=input("What do you want to do?")
    if(input=="beg"):
      if(time.time()-start>=30):
          print(Adding 500$ to your balance.)
          bal=bal+500
          start = time.time()
      else:
          print("Wait for",30-time.time()+start,"seconds")
    elif(input=="bal"):
      print("Balance: "+str(bal))
