Event: Not sure what to name it :/

[ryanb31394]

I would like an event that is like the "iflastplayermessage=" except it is the last event instead. This could be used in RPGs to easily add a "cooldown" effect to gathering herbs/cutting down trees...

For a "cooldown" effect on a brick's events, use setEventTimeout.
Or, if you want it to be per client, use variable events and relays.

[ryanb31394]

Not ure what you mean. I wnt something so that you can, say, chop a tree down, then be unable to do it for a certain amount of time. I mean on a different brick too, not just the one tree.

Truce explained it; go read it again. Also, die.

[StarHawk]

Wait, help me understand this.
You want it so that if in a future RPG someone says;
"Computer, lights on"
then the lights would turn on?

[ryanb31394]

No, I wanted an event that checks the last event that player made happen. It would be a variable such as:

Code: [Select]

ifLastPlayerEvent -> [Event Here]
VariableTrue -> [Different Event Here]

Why not just on activate fake kill brick for a certain amount of time? From what you say it seems like you just want them to not be able to chop a tree down for a limited time. If you don't want them to chop another tree down for a while you can just use variables.

hao2use variable to stop them using other events?

setEventTimeout prevents a brick's events from being activated for a certain period of time, and will call onTimeout if the brick is e.g. activated, touched, etc. in between that period for your "You can't mine that fast!" message or whatever.

[Mateo]

If you hate on timeout you could just do On activate player add variable mining time 1 then a few seconds later mining time -1 and then do if variable player mining time equals 0 then whatever.

I don't even know what timeout is though. I don't have said event.

[Space Guy]

If you hate on timeout

Then he shouldn't be asking people to code something that performs the exact same function.

[Mateo]

Well you already explained on timeout. .__.

[Tom]

If your using onActiveate/onProjectileHit you could just use ray-casting - you don;t even need any event add-ons.

Code: [Select]

[000]onActivate -> Self -> setRaycasting [ ]
[500]onActivate -> Self -> setRaycasting [X]

[Mateo]

I think he wants other people to be able to use that brick though.

hao2use variable to stop them using other events?

For example:

Code: [Select]

(0) onActivate -> Self -> ifVariable (Client, lastEvent, NotEquals, 1)
(0) VariableTrue -> Client -> setVariable (lastEvent, 1)
(10000) VariableTrue -> Client -> setVariable (lastEvent, 0)
(0) VariableTrue -> Client -> addVariable (logs, 1)
(0) VariableTrue -> Client -> CenterPrint ("You got a log.")
