Set a timer in NPC script.

[Auryn]

How to put a timer between those two ones ?

mes "[Rain]";
mes "Please come back later, I need to concentrate.";

mes "[Rain]";
mes "Ah, c'est toi !";
next;
mes "[Rain]";
mes "Oh, it's you. Here it is.";
getitem 6090,1;
close;

If someone know a good way, I would like to learn about it, cause it's being hard to find out.

I would suggest you to just create a new quest inside the database and then let it check if the timer has run out.

You could also use the gettimetick(2) script command.

First you set the current time with when the "timer" should ~start.

set q_timer, gettimetick(2);
close;

set .@timer, gettimetick(2)-q_timer;
set .@wait, 600-.@timer;
if(.@timer < 600)
{
mes "[Rain]";
mes "Please come back in "+.@wait+" seconds, I need to concentrate.";
close;
}
else{
mes "[Rain]";
mes "Ah, c'est toi !";
next;
mes "[Rain]";
mes "Oh, it's you. Here it is.";
getitem 6090,1;
close;
}

q_timer = time when the variable was set

if(.@timer < 600) = if *current time* minus time when variable was set, is smaller than 600 seconds execute code below

else = if it's bigger than 600 seconds or more have passed

To change the time which is needed before you get the item. edit the 600 to whatever number you want.

set .@wait, 600-.@timer;
if(.@timer < 600)

@shadowseph: That could be simplified by setting the permanent variable as:

gettimetick(2) + <delay, in seconds>

Then,

if (gettimetick(2) < q_timer) {
   mes "You must wait a little longer~";
   close;
}

You are right Euphy, it was late last night and i can't think properly when i'm sleepy.
