Question - Some equivalent of holy/downshits, but throttled

[RoboClaptrap4]

I use a lot of holy/downshits, and they work pretty well. However, they get checked really, really often (like every second or so). I'm trying to think of a general strategy for basically "holy/downshits, but once every 10 seconds instead of once every second". Like, would there be a way to define some kind of timer in the command that the holy/downshit executes so that it only fires if the timer has expired? Basically, a command like this:

if (timer foo has expired)
{
execute downshit command
start 10 second foo timer
}

You could try adding a delay within the holy/down execution.
You could also try using MQ2Events and some in game hotkeys.
I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish but those are the 2 options I can think of to execute something after 10 seconds without knowing more details.

I can't think of a way to do it in MQ2Melee holy that wouldn't run the check constantly. Even if you had a time check, like only run this holy if the computer time seconds end in zero, it is still going to check the time constantly for each holy.

Maybe check out how eqmule added holy code to his mod of KA. Maybe his holy call's could have a delay added in just one section, so it's not redoing it for every holy.

I'm trying to find a way to get in-combat buffing to work since it can't be done in KISS (KISS does support some rudimentary in-combat buffing, but it doesn't support the use case I have). I've been going over a couple of ideas, one of which involves the toon that needs the buff checking if they have it, and if not, sending a BCT to the buff caster to make them cast it, although that runs into issues by default since they send the BCT multiple times per second. Maybe I can do it with an MQ2Event which does...something, whenever the buff fades. Will look into that

Check out ModBot. It does in combat buffing.

I don't want to completely redo my setup, I'm trying to work with what I have rather than starting from scratch
