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.
RETURN 1
ELSE
IF (<tag0.race>==1)
SRC.HITS=(<SRC.HITS>+(<SRC.MAXHITS>/2))
SRC.STAM=(<SRC.STAM>+(<SRC.MAXSTAM>/2))
SRC.MANA=(<SRC.MANA>+(<SRC.MAXMANA>/2))
MHC
MMC
MSC
SRC.NEWITEM=i_timer_UA_Human
SRC.ACT.EQUIP
SRC.SOUND 491
effect=3,i_fx_sparkle,6,15,1
RETURN 0
ENDIF

[function MHC]
IF (<SRC.HITS> > <SRC.MAXHITS>)
SRC.HITS=<SRC.MAXHITS>
RETURN 0
ENDIF

[function MMC]
IF (<SRC.MANA> > <SRC.MAXMANA>)
SRC.MANA=<SRC.MAXMANA>
