I wasn't entirely sure what to title the topic lol I hope my following description explains fully what I'm looking for.
Basically I need a script that can track everything globally, I don't have enough variables and what not for plants and mines and things like that.
I need a script that recognizes events as (for example) Iron or Herbs. So if I label an event 'Iron' the script will automatically recognize this event and set the ability to mine iron from this event, along with a time to which the iron respawns.
The time must continue to count down even when the player is on a different map.
Can this be done with events using global events? No. Why? 5000 variables isn't enough.
If I have 10 plants on one map, I can only have 10 plants for 500 maps. This may sound like a lot, but this doesn't include ores and other collectibles and it doesn't include mini games and things unrelated that require variables. So basically it uses up way more variables than I'd like it to.
Also if a script handles it, then I don't have to set a new variable and re-event it every single time I want a collectible. One variable can't apply to more than one thing as they will respawn at the same time even if you picked one 10 mins ago and one 1 second ago.
Anyway, I think I'm clear in what I need but not necessarily on how to achieve it. I hope the scripters here have can think of something because I seem to have hit the road block eventing wise.
