Add cooldown dynamically on npcs

[Hyroshima 18]

I made this function for a friend and it can be useful in general. 

basically allows you to add wait time for something in npc, you can put different times in the same npc using the reference names.

a utility to put in Global_Functions

 

//== Function F_SetNpcCD ================================
// Add cooldown to access specific functions of a pc but not limited
//==
// callfunc "F_SetNpcCD","reference_name",time_in_seconds{,cooldown type};
// Examples:
//    callfunc("F_SetNpcCD","name_example0",45)		// Adds 45 second cooldown at player level
//    callfunc("F_SetNpcCD","name_example1",85,1)	// Adds 1 minute 25 second cooldown at player level
//    callfunc("F_SetNpcCD","name_example2",120,2)	// Adds 2-minute cooldown at account level
function	script	F_SetNpcCD	{
	set .@var$,(countstr(getarg(0)," ")?replacestr(getarg(0)," ","_"):getarg(0));
	set .@time,getarg(1);
	set .@type,getarg(2,0);
	setd(""+(.@type==2?"#":"")+""+.@var$+"_time",gettimetick(2)+.@time);
return;
}

//== Function F_GetNpcCD ================================
// Check npc access cooldown
//==
// callfunc "F_GetNpcCD","name_example"{,cooldown type};
// Examples:
//    callfunc("F_GetNpcCD","name_example0")	// returns "NPC Cooldown: 00H:00M:45s (player)"
//    callfunc("F_GetNpcCD","name_example1",1)	// returns "NPC Cooldown: 00H:01M:25s (player)"
//    callfunc("F_GetNpcCD","name_example2",2)	// returns "NPC Cooldown: 00H:02M:00s (account)"
function	script	F_GetNpcCD	{
	set .@var$,(countstr(getarg(0)," ")?replacestr(getarg(0)," ","_"):getarg(0));
	set .@type,getarg(1,0);
	
	if(gettimetick(2) < getd(""+(.@type==2?"#":"")+""+.@var$+"_time"))
	{
		set .@ts,getd(""+(.@type==2?"#":"")+""+.@var$+"_time")-gettimetick(2);
		set .@h,.@ts/3600;
		set .@m,(.@ts%3600)/60;
		set .@s,.@ts%60;
		dispbottom "NPC Cooldown: "+(.@h<10?"0"+.@h:.@h)+"H:"+(.@m<10?"0"+.@m:.@m)+"M:"+(.@s<10?"0"+.@s:.@s)+"s ("+(.@type==2?"account":"player")+")";
		end;
	}
return;
}
