Cooldown

Update: 2013/04/26

Uh, it is a controllor to maintain a cooldown.

(Cooldown in wiki

...One can think of cooldown as the reload time and firing rate of weapons. For example, a machine gun has very fast firing rate, so it has a very low cooldown between shots. Comparatively, a shotgun has a long reload/cooldown time between each shots....)

Download Timeline plugin first. (Cooldown is another timer application.)

Sample capx

"action: request a call".
- if internal timer is not running, plugin will trigger the event "condition: on call accepted". Then start the internal timer with time-out to cooldown interval.
- if internal timer is running, plugin will trigger the event "condition: on call rejected".
A sprite can have more then one cooldown behavior.

Ahh, got you, so instead of continous shooting there's a delay between bullets? Nice.

Yes.

And a sprite can have more then one cooldown behavior, it means that character can have more than one kind of weapon with delay independently.

Maybe add an expression to yield the current CD as fraction from 0 to 1 (0 meaning CD just activated, 1.0 meaning ready). The value may be used to lerp things like sprite frames to show the cooldown state (possibly the "clock" effect to show the action's cooldown timer like you see in C&C, Diablo, WoW, etc).

Try "expression:ElapsedPercent" or "expression:RemainderPercent".
