item reuse countdown?

[spider661]

i would be happy with making a table to track the cooldowns and then just telling the player its usable again.. where is item click tracking done in the server code.. maybe we can just work out a message.

it is posible its conected to all timers of same type actualy having same reuse time.

in other words:
you have clicky item A with effect B with recast type 1, and recast time 55 sec

now

you have clicky item C with effect D with recast type 1, and recast time other than 55 sec

since they BOTH have recast type 1 - their reuse timer is SHARED and which ever number is greater- thats the actual timer.

which means if you have zillion items of this type with 0 sec recast but have 1 with 77 minutes- recast timer should be 77 min for AL items.

folowing this logic - if you ever have a diffirent recast time for items that share timer type- the greying out effect is not shown.

so the potential solution is to make sure than ALL items using recast type X have identical recast time.

note- all above are pure speculation based on previous observations of item behavior =)

Learning a lot from this thread that I will need to know going forward. But still have some questions. Like, where does the code for a clicky item go? Is this a perl script? Does it go into the source folder? How should it be named? Etc. Also . . .

I need to make it so that a certain item on my server, when worn, turns the player invisible to other players, and when clicked spawns a mob or two. Is the "worn" part a quest script, or is it part of the item code? And if so, what exactly is it? And how would I get the clicky part working? Thanks.

Disregard my questions till I read through the wikki article . . . unless, of course, I asked something you know I won't find there

Use GeorgeS Item Editor and with that it is pretty clear what needs to be done.
