abilities cool down

how do i do a cool down timer for special abilities, ive tried system wait but it doesnt seem to work is there anther way?

You could try setting a global variable called "cooldown" and set it to 15 when the cool down is used.

Then once the cool down is <= to 15 then set an event that every 1 second subtract 1 from the global variable until it reaches 0 then you can re use the ability.

Hope this helps

It would work better if you did cooldown >= 0 to avoid going into the negatives continuously.

Here's a cooldown example I made a while back if you want to have a look at a .capx:

CooldownMAX.capx

Hi, I really like your cool down method - it works good for what I want to try and achieve.

I tried to adapt the cooldown from being a global variable to a instance variable against a sprite(Cannon).

I want to allow each cannon to have its own cooldown. However I just can not seem to get it working..

Has anyone attempted this before, and got it working?

Thanks
