Timer Script

[ToiletMaster]

Hi Guys,

 

Currently i have a  small request for a script to be made.

 

Example would be there is an npc that gives you an apple which will be refreshed every 15 minutes,

 

it will also display how long before the next apple is possible to gain. Within that 15 minutes, the npc will just be saying to wait till

 

15 minutes from where the last apple was taken.

 

 

Additional Info

-------------------

Apple was taken at 17:03 minutes, next apple can only be taken at 17:18 minutes. regardless of who the player is.

 

 

 

Hope it's enough information.

there is no line to display the time left to the user, try

if ($@time < gettimetick(2)) {

mes "You are able to take an apple";

close2;

set $@time, gettimetick(2) + 900; // 15 Minutes

getitem "Apple",1;

end;

}

Mes "Please wait " + (($@time - gettimetick(2)) / 60 ) + " Minutes before getting another apple";

close;

if (time>gettimetick(2)) { mes "You take your apple"; close; }

set time, gettimetick ( 2 ) + 900;

getitem apple,1;

Doesn't work, it only displays you take your apple that's all. doesn't go anything further than that.

it does not display the timer, but gives an apple every 15 minutes

close2; instead of close;

Remember, close; teminates the script execution, means everything below close; wont happen.

Not sure is it me but i've tried close2 yet it doesn't seem to work the way i wanted to, it doesn't give any apples at all

close2? why? he gets an apple every 15 minutes, why make another one?

*close;

This command will create a 'close' button in the message window for the invoking 
character. If no window is currently on screen, the script execution will end. This is one 
of the ways to end a speech from an NPC. Once the button is clicked, the NPC 
script execution will end, and the message box will disappear.

    mes "[Woman]";
    mes "I am finished talking to you. Click the close button.";
    close;
    mes "This command will not run at all, since the script has ended.";

---------------------------------------

*close2;

This command will create a 'close' button in the message window for the invoking 
character. WARNING: If no window is currently on screen, the script execution will halt 
indefinitely! See 'close'. There is one important difference, though - even though 
the message box will have closed, the script execution will not stop, and commands after 
'close2' will still run, meaning an 'end' has to be used to stop the script, unless you 
make it stop in some other manner.

    mes "[Woman]";
    mes "I will warp you now.";
    close2;
    warp "place",50,50;
    end;
    
Don't expect things to run smoothly if you don't make your scripts 'end'.

Reason to use Close2;

 

We want to allow the user to use the close button while the script still runs..

Using Close2; in the script before mine would have not worked, Only in the way I have done it.
