Request for a gump to show cooldown of a skill - UltimaAku - 10-22-2014 05:35 AM
Hi there all!
I've created a system where some characters have unique abilities they can use, which creates an item that has a timer on it that prevents the ability from working (the item is invisible and on the person).
The ability works perfectly, but i don't have a method of showing the current Cool-down time remaining on the ability. anyone know how I can go about it? I would guess a gump but i wouldn't know how to check the timer of an item in your backpack.
///Human Active - Restore///
///This Active ability was deemed too powerful and thus removed
IF <SRC.RESTEST 1 i_timer_ua_human>
SRC.SYSMESSAGE You must wait until your skill becomes active again.

I would use a tag to store the timer's uid and then use it to recover timer's more1
Code:
...
MHC
MMC
MSC
SRC.NEWITEM=i_timer_UA_Human
SRC.TAG.UA1UID=<NEW.UID>
...Then add the following to clear the tag
Code:
...
CONT.SYSMESSAGE Your Refresh ability is ready
CONT.TAG.UA1=
CONT.TAG.UA1UID=
...So now in your gump you can show the timer using <UID.<SRC.TAG.UA1UID>.MORE1>
RE: Request for a gump to show cooldown of a skill - Coruja - 10-22-2014 10:18 AM
you can use FINDID to get some info about the item
Code:
IF (<SRC.FINDID.i_timer_ua_human>)
SRC.SYSMESSAGE You already using the skill <SRC.FINDID.i_timer_ua_human.TAG.EffectName> and must wait until it becomes active again.
return 1

As i read Coruja's post i remembered that a script like this was used as an example on the wiki's Occam's Razor section

Artyk, Brilliant, i'll try it out and let you know if it works
RE: Request for a gump to show cooldown of a skill - UltimaAku - 10-23-2014 01:58 AM
Didn't work... however, i did make a change which did. Now for the part i don't know. How can I make it so the gump has a countdown on it? It's a permanent gump but i want a countdown to appear on the second gumppic (i know the locations wrong for the text, just getting the function to work first)
[DIALOG DRACONIAN_PA]
200,200
noclose
resizepic 0 0 9250 251 100
dtext 21 18 455 Passive - Tough Scales
dtext 149 18 455 Active - Blood Boil
dtext 149 25 455 <EVAL <SRC.TAG.COOLDOWN>>
gumppic 41 39 2253
gumppic 169 39 2295
the countdown number is SRC.TAG.COOLDOWN, but the gump doesn't change unless i re-open the dialog.
RE: Request for a gump to show cooldown of a skill - azmanomer - 10-23-2014 02:28 AM
you can call dialog when timer change?
RE: Request for a gump to show cooldown of a skill - UltimaAku - 10-23-2014 02:34 AM
problem with that is, my gump appears and stays with the player on login, so it's always there. re-opening the dialog would move it back to it's origional location (200,200)
RE: Request for a gump to show cooldown of a skill - UltimaAku - 10-25-2014 05:06 AM
UPDATE:
I decided to make the gump static, and gone with azmanomer's idea. Problem is, the dialog will not open or close when put in the timer of the item
