Solved Duration on doSummonCreature

[auda]

Hey guys! I wrote the most simple script for my gameworld and want to implement a boss where you press on the item with actionid = 666 and he spawns, ofcourse. But I don't seem to find a way to add exhaust/duration on the script before you can summon him again. I'd say about 360 seconds (several minutes).

The script:

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    if(item.actionid == 666) then
        doSummonCreature("Count Vladimir", {x = 1086, y = 1053, z = 10})
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You\'ve awakened the vampire lord.")
        doSendMagicEffect(getThingPos(cid), CONST_ME_DRAWBLOOD)
    return TRUE
    end
end

Thanks!

PS: As a summary I want to make it impossible to pull over and over again to spawn multiple bosses!

To set the time

setGlobalStorageValue(storage, os.time() + 360)

To check if the exhaustion is still there.

if getGlobalStorageValue(storage) >= os.time() then
   -- still exhaustion

Or

if getGlobalStorageValue(storage) < os.time() then
   -- no exhaustion

Where exactly am I suppose to add these lines in the script? Also, when I tried I got an error in the console, something about "TIME" (can't say exactly what it stood since I'm currently at work! Thanks!

local storage = 38473

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
     if getGlobalStorageValue(storage) >= os.time() then
         return doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You need to wait 6 minutes before summoning one again.")
     end
     if item.actionid == 666 then
         doSummonCreature("Count Vladimir", {x = 1086, y = 1053, z = 10})
         doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You\'ve awakened the vampire lord.")
         doSendMagicEffect(getThingPos(cid), CONST_ME_DRAWBLOOD)
         setGlobalStorageValue(storage, os.time() + 360)
     end
     return TRUE
end

Btw, if it's added with actionid 666 in actions.xml then doing this isn't needed:

if item.actionid == 666 then

Worked wonders! Cheers! How do I rep you?
