Having trouble making a cooldown.

[Ninjabuilderpro]

I have a script that makes a Lightning Wand that summons lightning when you right click. I want to add a 4 second cooldown so you can't just spam lightning. Im using 1.16.5 and heres the script.

 

command /lightningwand <player>:
    aliases: lw
    usage: &7[&6LW&7] &cWho do you want to give the wand?
    permission: lw.give
    trigger:
        if arg-1 is set:
            give player 1 stick named "&f&lLightning Wand" with lore "&7Summons lightning where you looking at"
        else:
            stop
             
on rightclick: #you can also change it to leftclick
    if player's tool is stick named "&f&lLightning Wand" with lore "&7Summons lightning where you looking at":
        strike lightning at the targeted block
    else:
        stop

on rightclick: #you can also change it to leftclick
    if player's tool is stick named "&f&lLightning Wand" with lore "&7Summons lightning where you looking at":
    	if {wandCooldown::%player%} > 0:
        	send "This is on cooldown!"
            stop
        set {wandCooldown::%player%} to 10 # The amount of time in seconds the cooldown is.
        strike lightning at the targeted block
        loop 10 times: # The amount of time in seconds the cooldown is.
        	wait 1 second
            remove 1 from {wandCooldown::%player%}
    else:
        stop

The Wand still has no cooldown

Are there any errors?

Here is a cool function you can use to manage cooldowns easily. There also are examples in it so you can look at to see how to use it.

No errors just no cool down

Im not sure if i'm using it wrong but I still can't get a working cooldown with the function. Here is what I've got

 

on rightclick: #you can also change it to leftclick
    if player's tool is stick named "&f&lLightning Wand" with lore "&7Summons lightning where you looking at":
        cooldownManager(player, "Lightning Wand", 10 seconds) isn't set
        strike lightning at the targeted block
    else:
        stop

Try debug it; does the cooldownManager line actually trigger? add a broadcast just before it to check if it triggers when you rightclick the item. Then test the cooldownManager with other commands to see if it's working or not. Essentially, you're trying to figure out what's not working to fix it.
