Healing cooldown

[BluBillz]

How would you manage to make a timer that starts right after you get healed, that makes it where you cant keep healing until the 10 second timer is done?
Something simple probably..but I am not sure how to do it since I am not to good with timers..

any help on something like this?

Use a combination of CurTime( ) and addition.
When the heal is used, use a variable and add the cooldown in seconds to CurTime( ), and when they try it use it again check to see if the time is past that variable.

I dont know if i understand what you wanted me to do..but this is what i got and it isnt working..how would you fix this to get it to actually work? Code below.

	
        local cooldown = CurTime() + 10
	if CurTime() <= cooldown then
		ply:AddItem("bandage")
		ply:Heal( 0 )
	else
		ply:Heal( 20 )
	end

It depends..

you can do:
[lua]local _expiry = CurTime( ) + 10;

if ( _expiry < CurTime( ) ) then
// Heal again
end[/lua]

[lua]local _expiry = CurTime( ) + 10;

if ( CurTime( ) > _expiry ) then
// Heal again
end[/lua]

[lua]local _lastheal = CurTime( );

if ( CurTime( ) - _lastheal > 10 ) then
// Heal again
end[/lua]

If you do CurTime( ) < cooldown then you'll end up continuing to add the bandage ( depending where and how this is ran ) until expiry is up.

None of that seems to work..it just doesnt heal but uses the item..I dont know what could be causing that either.

Is it an item, or a swep? If it's a swep, then you can set next primary/secondary attack by calling the function. If it's a pointshop item, you can set a timer on the player for last time healed. If CurTime( ) has not passed the expiry then return; end
