Cooldown Events?

[souldragon19]

Is there a way I can make event's have cooldowns? for example If I used a crystal that would heal, the crystal wouldn't be able to heal me again for 50 seconds.

Use my script for script-based switches for this.  Also
add this to a new script section.

class Game_Event
def cooledDown?(seconds)
  if !(expired?(seconds) && tsOff?("A"))
     self.need_refresh=true
     return false
  else
     return true
  end
end
end

Here's the basic structure you should follow.

Event Page 1

No conditions, any trigger

-- Do something here
Script:  setEventTime     

The script setEventTime sets the event's variable to the current time, so that later the game
can check whether the event "expires" and returns to normal. setEventTime can also be used to
set other events' variables to the current time. For example, setEventTime(2) sets this event
and the event numbered 2 on this map.

Event Page 2

Condition "Self Switch A is ON", any trigger

-- Do something here

This event page is used in cases when the event is currently "inactive"; for example, in the
case of a tree that grows berries every day, there could be a message here that the tree is empty.

Event Page 3

Condition 'Switch "s:cooledDown?(50)" is ON', Autorun trigger

Control Self Switch: A =OFF
Script:  setTempSwitchOn("A")

This event page checks whether the event has expired and becomes active again.  In this case,
after 50 seconds.

Great! Thanks for the help, I'll test this out.
