field cooldown is a nice addition, but the message could be more useful

 

current message

Your Field Launcher is currently recharging!

 

better message

Your Field Launcher is currently recharging! It will be ready in xx seconds.

 

 

also the recharge time should be based on field, a chaos field should recharge faster than a coffin.

dumb message:

you are antiwarped!

 

better:

cxc is a fag and he is the reason you cant switch to javelin, kill him!

but just like everything else in hyperspace, because it requires more than zero effort, it will never happen

adding the cooldown time remaining to the message should be very easy to do.

 

Just went through an if where checked the cooldown time, so info is available to put in the message to user.

 

My guess is everytime a field is launched the timestamp is saved, then do a check of current time minus field lanuch time. and check if result is > then field cooldown time. the time we need is then just field cooldown time - that result.

I haven't looked at the code but it's probably not that simple. It's most likely being done with a timer callback so the module won't actually know when the cooldown will be over. It would just get told later, "Okay, this guy is ready to go again."

Oh ok it was done that way, I was imagining just a "field enabled" flag in the per player data that would get set to 0 upon use and 1 when the timer hit
