need more help scripting

[xxrumaroxx]

The following script belongs to the stone add-on from the element spell pack. I want to know what will I have to change about this script to decrease the amount of time it takes to refire shots. plz post the number of the lines containing the part of the script needing be changed. Alos I will need to know what to do with it. (no irrelevant comments plz)

Lock this, edit your topic you already made. This is almost an exact duplicate of the last topic, and continuing to make topics like this after being warned can be considered spam. Help will come when it does, don't get impatient and spammy.

Impatience had nothing to do with my reasoning for a second post; I was  unaware that a post could be modified after being posted. Well thx for the warning, but regardless if I have already made this post it would be a waste of time to lock this one and go back to modify my old one.

Well duhh I can obviously see that its that simple, yet that doesn't change my opinion of it as a waste of time, but if its really that important than fine. even though I don’t see why that would be necessary, seeing that you could just as easily click this one as you can the other and even if I do lock this one its not like it removes It from the list. Its still going to be there taking up as much space locked as it would be left alone. But if such senseless actions are needed for the cooperation of people willing to help I guess I don’t have much of a choice, now do i?  >3(
