item reuse countdown?

[spider661]

you know how when you drink a potion it goes gray and you can see when you can use it again?

can i do this with items like healing charms? i tryed setting it to the same type as a potion and it just says expandable now and sounds like your drinking something but does not gray out.. i did the same with the orb from the umbra orb spell and it worked im guessing becuase it had charges rather then infant cast? anyway is there a way to do this?

When I was first making clicky items on my server, I know one of the settings I changed cause them to do that timer and even global timer refresh thing. But I was making alot of changes at the time and changed things and haven't ever figured out how to get it back lol. Though, it would be nice.

Probably if I messed with it for a while, I could get it working again. If anyone else knows exactly what to set for the refresh timer to be displayed on the item, I would like to know as well

For our server, #zone is disabled and we use an NPC to translocate people from the Nexus. So to get to the Nexus, everyone starts with a Kobold Skull Charm with the effect of "The Nexus" on it.

### This creates an item with Nexus Gate ###
UPDATE items SET casttime = 10000 WHERE id = 59943;
UPDATE items SET casttime_ = 10000 WHERE id = 59943;
UPDATE items SET clicktype = 4 WHERE id = 59943;
UPDATE items SET clicklevel = 1 WHERE id = 59943;
UPDATE items SET clickeffect = 2734 WHERE id = 59943;
UPDATE items SET recastdelay = 60 WHERE id = 59943;
UPDATE items SET maxcharges = -1 WHERE id = 59943;
INSERT INTO starting_items VALUES (179,0,0,0,0,59943,1,0,0);

I'm not sure exactly which one of those does it, but I believe that it's either clicktype or clickeffect. This will display the refresh timer on the item. Not a countdown, but a list of the total cooldown time. Best I can do. The item was originally modeled on Al`Kabor's Propylon of the Nexus, if you'd like something different to analyze.

I know it's a little off topic, but I just wanted to point out a much simpler (read faster) query:

### This creates an item with Nexus Gate ###
UPDATE items SET 
	casttime = 10000, 
	casttime_ = 10000, 
	clicktype = 4, 
	clicklevel = 1, 
	clickeffect = 2734, 
	recastdelay = 60, 
	maxcharges = -1 
WHERE id = 59943;
INSERT INTO starting_items VALUES (179,0,0,0,0,59943,1,0,0);

On topic, I wonder if it's the clicktype? What we know from the Wiki:

clicktype

* Enter the number for the clicktype
o 1 = Item can be casted from anyslot (Main Inventory).
o 2 = Isn't used (As far as I can tell)
o 3 = Item can be casted from anyslot (Main Inventory).
o 4 = Item must be equipted to cast effect. (In my experience, type 4 means the effect works on self only)
o 5 = Seems to involve poisening a weapon. (In my experience, type 5 means the effect works on target)

Just a thought...

Thanks for the tip =) Still learning all of this, and pointers like that help a ton!

Click type 4 just makes it required to be equiped in order to click it. I have some items set that way and I don't think they get the cool greyed out timer effect. I almost think that the greyed out effect only works under certain circumstances. And I don't mean certain settings. If anything, I think it could possibly be Recast Type. I know that it is used for setting global cooldowns for items with the same recast type, so you can't cast 2 items with the same recast type until the last cooldown you used is reset.
