Spell Recast time not yet met

[Mortykins]

HI Folks,

It seems that randomly players will have this message when trying to cast spells but it will only effect that one player. I haven't found a way to fix broken players like this other than completely re-creating them but that is tedious and sucks.

"Spell Recast time not yet met."

Player A: Has this issue

Other players: Do not have this issue, but can happen to anyone it seems randomly.

Any ideas on how to fix this or reset the player ?

Did you ever get an answer? I'm having this issue currently.

Does the client have the same spell files that the server is using ?

[HeyPretty]

Well I assume so, unless Morty has gone and updated without my knowledge? It was working earlier in the day, then nope.

did you cast an instant spell and fizzle?

[HeyPretty]

No it was my pet heal, takes a second or two to cast.

For the record I'm using RoF2

I deleted my INI files for this character and logged in fresh. No luck.

Just by coincidence, that expression is in a script example found in this thread here :

I have no idea if it's relevant to this issue. Just digging.

Here is a fairly simple example of using these 2 plugins together:

sub EVENT_ITEM_CLICK {

if (!$client->EntityVariableExists(15) || plugin::GetTimeLeft($client->GetEntityVariable(15), "S") == 0)
{
# Do your spell script here
# ...

# Then set the new end time for the recast delay here
my $EndTime = plugin::GetEndTime("S5");
$client->SetEntityVariable(15, $EndTime);
}
else
{
$client->Message(13, "Spell recast time not yet met.");
}

}

Basically, in this example, you are just using these plugins to create and enforce a recast delay within an item click script, which otherwise would not have a simple way to set a recast delay on.

The message is generated by the client.

Ok, was doing some more searching. Someone posted this issue on DB games forums (2013)
with a "possible" client cause, regarding the system clock.

That's so interesting... it wouldn't explain why my other characters aren't having similar or the same issue and why my other abilities recast timers seem fine.

Morty thinks it's something to do with an AA timer but he reset all of mine and it was still "greyed out".

Well, I guess I don't have enough details about your situation to test anything out.
You just mentioned a pet heal spell. But as usual, issues like will be around a long
time and nobody from other servers will jump in and give any indication as to whether
it's happening elsewhere. I like to help out when I can, if I have the knowledge to seek
out a solution or cause.
