I suspect the client keeps track of the time until a skill is ungreyed/usable, and merely does a serverside check when someone uses that ability. If so, that would mean we can display it :) Is this true, and if so, could one of you wizards add it to $char or something?

Much obliged,

This is more complicated than you think.... I think people have been trying to get this going for a long time; but, the skills/AA/everything is stored in some sort of struct/array without any ASCII text to help figure out which is which.

I hope to get it though by using the IDC one of these times around.

have u tried making the ability a hotbutton, and then check if the hotbutton is enabled or disabled? that works for me when i need to determine if cann IV is ready or not...

Use a whole hotbank just for AA/skills and do a dump after every one is pressed, take notes, and see what changed? EG:

Do a dump, press AE Taunt, then dump again? That might show only 1 or 2 items in the strucs have changed.

some people have made custom hotbuttons with alt activate in it, so that they can announce the alt ability they are gonna use.
so being able to see what time is left would be handy, because looking up the ability in the alt.adv window to see what time is left is annoying.
