This will give you idea.

if(.takeQuest == 0){
mes "Take Quest?";
.takeQuest == 1;
addtimer 10800000, strnpcinfo(3)+"::On3Hours";
end;
}
else{
mes "Sorry, you have to wait 3hrs to take the quest again";
end;
}
On3Hours:
.takeQuest, 1;
end;

You can use this:

// By: Joey
prontera,155,155,3 script Timer 66,{
if(questdelay < gettimetick(2)){ // Check timer, if over it will allow you to continue.
mes "You are able to do the quest again. Congratulations.";
close;
}
set questdelay,gettimetick(2)+10800; // Sets timer.
if(questdelay > gettimetick(2)){ // Checks timer, if active it will block you from doing the quest.
set .@delayremaining,(((questdelay-gettimetick(2))+1)/60);
mes "Please wait "+.@delayremaining+" minutes longer.";
close;
}
}

It will work even if the player logs out. (Permanant character variable.)

If you wish to make it temporary, where logging out will remove the timer, add an @ sign infront of each "questdelay" variable.

Here's one that's set to the account:

// By: Joey
prontera,155,155,3 script Timer 66,{
if(#questdelay < gettimetick(2)){ // Check timer, if over it will allow you to continue.
mes "You are able to do the quest again. Congratulations.";
close;
}
set #questdelay,gettimetick(2)+10800; // Sets Timer.
if(#questdelay > gettimetick(2)){ // Checks timer, if active it will block you from doing the quest.
set .@delayremaining,(((#questdelay-gettimetick(2))+1)/60);
mes "Please wait "+.@delayremaining+" minutes longer.";
close;
}
}

This will give you idea.

if(.takeQuest == 0){
mes "Take Quest?";
.takeQuest == 1;
addtimer 10800000, strnpcinfo(3)+"::On3Hours";
end;
}
else{
mes "Sorry, you have to wait 3hrs to take the quest again";
end;
}
On3Hours:
.takeQuest, 1;
end;

If you wish to be able to do the quest after the timer triggers, you'd need to set .takeQuest to 0 at the end of the timer.

Change:

.takeQuest, 1;

To:

set .takeQuest, 0;

Rofl, not a good thing to do while writing code xD

I'm a hypocrite. I watch movies, chat, and play games while I code. LOL

bare with me, the last time I modified npc codes was like a year ago xD

I got addicted to league of legends while doing websites Lol.

Anyways,I always use gettimetick,like you can see in my released iRO Daily Quests

<npc header>,{
if(gettimetick(2) - CooldownQuest < (60 * 60 * 24)) {
mes "[ NPC NAME ]";
mes "Sorry you have to wait 24 Hours until you can do the Quest again!";
close;
}
mes "[ NPC NAME ]";
mes "Hey,now you have to wait 24 Hours until you can talk to me again!";
set CooldownQuest,gettimetick(2);
close;
}

The 60*60*24 defines the time,which you have to wait until you can talk to the NPC again. That means 60 seconds multipled with 60 for getting 1 Hour and this * 24 , which means that you have to wait 24 Hours. So you just have to edit the 24 to the Hour time,which you want it to change to.
