help with a delay script

[Legacy_Surek]

               

I was hoping I could get some help with this, What I would like to do is delay the time between an item can be used. As an example I have an on item activate script that adds a couple of effects to the PC then after they use the item they would have to wait a few minutes before they could use it again.  I know this can be done with variables but I have no idea how to do it.

 

Another way of doing it would be to store the time and then check whether it's been a set amount of time since the last time the item was used. But again not sure how to do that.

 

Any help with this would be appreciated.

               DelayCommand(60.0, ExecuteScript... would run a script after 1 minute to reactivate the item.


Or run every 10 seconds using SendMessageToPC to give feedback on cooldown, e.g. "50 seconds until you can use this again".


Set/GetLocalInt on the item to flag it as unusable, block use in the activate script, and reactivate.


There are other methods, but that will do it.
