I need this to display on an actionbar.
#Need help with displaying cooldown that is counting up as a countdown
tight ginkgo
Currently it is counting up in chat, but I need it to count down.
Example screenshot:
Also if it would show only the amount of seconds / minutes and not the decimals that would be nice
This is what using an ability looks like:
Here is an example of a condition in each ability: if difference between now and {cooldown::%player's uuid%} is not less than 5 seconds:
Here is the code that displays the time as of right now:
loop all players:
set {cooldownyeah::%loop-player's uuid%} to difference between {cooldown::%loop-player's uuid%} and now
send "%{cooldownyeah::%loop-player's uuid%}%" to loop-player ```If i could get some help soon that would be nice thanks
(Please ping me)

if you want to count down, set the time to a date in the future, such as 4 minutes from now
if you want to get rid of the decimals, change the number accuracy setting in the skript config to 0

There’s also a bunch of timespan formatting snippets

literally all i changed from the above code is i changed making the time now to set {cooldown::%player's uuid%} to 5 seconds from now
and changed the condition to if {cooldown::%player's uuid%} is 0 seconds:
and i'm trying to write smth that checks for the time being 0 and then stops counting but idk how to make it stop
i could prob just make a loop that changes it but idk
wicked raft
just check now > {}
tight ginkgo
wdym
what i'm doing rn is i'm making it check for the time being 0 seconds every tick then waiting 10 and if it's more than 0 it should stop counting but idk how to make it do that
loop all players:
if {cooldown::%loop-player's uuid%} is 0 seconds:
wait 10 ticks
if {cooldown::%loop-player's uuid%} is more than 0 seconds:
uhhh like stop counting????? ```wrong variable hold on
there we go

are you doing this?
tight ginkgo
i did that yes
tight ginkgo
literally all i changed from the above code is i changed making the time now to ...
.
but it starts counting up after going to 0
wicked raft
because then you only ever need 1 variable--the timestamp at which the cooldown is ended
then you can use the difference between t1 and t2 to get the tim until then
tight ginkgo
yeah but how do i make it stop bc after it goes past 0 the abilities don't work
wicked raft
just delete the variable
tight ginkgo
how i didn't know u could do that lol
delete variable {cooldown::%loop-player's uuid%}
wicked raft
thats how math owrks
difference between 08:00 and 12:00 is 4 hours
difference between 16:00 and 12:00 is also 4 hours (technically -4 hours but skript takes the absolute value, you need to check if a time is > or < than now to get the sign)
tight ginkgo
like that?
wicked raft
delete {}
tight ginkgo
ah alr
wicked raft
I would delete it in the same place you set it, checking if the cooldown is expired,set COOLDOWN to DURATION from now wait DURATION + 1 tick #: (1 tick just in case) if now > COOLDOWN: #:check cooldown is in the past (expired) delete COOLDOWN
tight ginkgo

ok so i tried doing this but the thing is most of my abilities already have waiting in them so this won't work
what i'm trying to do is this every 1 tick: loop all players: if {cooldown::%loop-player's uuid%} is less than 1 second: wait 20 ticks if {cooldown::%loop-player's uuid%} is more than 0 seconds: delete {cooldown::%loop-player's uuid%}
it isn't working
it just counts up again
idk why it should delete it
i've messed with it a ton and it still won't do it
i made a command that deletes it and does work tho
wicked raft
dont loop all players every tick
tight ginkgo
why not
wicked raft
very inefficient
wicked raft
thats not a good attitude to have
wicked raft
my server is good enough it's alr
and thats not an excuse to allow bad practices
tight ginkgo
well my max playercount is like 15 or so at once and my server is 32gb ddr5 ram
and some threadripper cpu lol

this works if you apply the cooldown in a function/custom effect
tight ginkgo
i'm stupid can u plz tell me how do do that o-o
wicked raft
make a function or custom effect that accepts
- an ID (cooldown name)
- a timespan (cooldown duration)
and apply the cooldown there
because those can be asynchronous without affecting main code
tight ginkgo
make a function or custom effect that accepts
- an ID (cooldown name)
- a timesp...
where do i find a tutorial to do this
idk how to define the id and timespana
timespan
found this but how do i change the parameters
wicked raft
found this but how do i change the parameters
literally change teh first line of the function
tight ginkgo
how
there is no documentation i can find
how do i format it
just keeps saying it doesn't understand
wicked raft
tight ginkgo
function cooldown(id, timespan):
broadcast "yes"
like idk how it's supposed to be formatted
there is no documentation
there is this
tight ginkgo
broadcast "yes"```
tight ginkgo
broadcast "yes" ```
wicked raft
the type of id should be string
wicked raft
you changed the wrong thing
tight ginkgo
ohhh nvm
i'm slow sry xd
k so now i just put the stuff from before into this
what do i change cooldown and duration to
just timespan and id?
or do i create variables or smth
wicked raft
tight ginkgo
ah
so like this?
set {_id} to {_timespan} from now
wait {_timespan} + 1 tick
if now > {_id}:
delete {_id} ```no
