qb-cooldowns

Simple cooldown system for QBCore

Installation

• Put the resource in your resources folder.
• Import qb-cooldowns.sql in your database.
• I recommend to start this resource in your server.cfg before the ones that will use the cooldowns.
• Setup your scripts, and you are ready to go.

Configuration

• Config.Debug: false by default.
  • true: it will show messages in your console when a event is called and when changes are made in the database, it also adds commands to test some functions, you can easily delete them if you want.
  • false: messages will not appear in your console and commands will not be created.
• Config.InexistentCooldownStartsAt0: false by default.
  • true: inexistent cooldowns will return 0.
  • false: inexistent cooldowns will return the current time.
• Config.RegisterSetCooldown: false by default, I strongly recommend that this stays in false, use the export from server side.
  • true: it will mean that the event qb-cooldowns:setCooldown can be triggered by clients.
  • false: the only way to set cooldowns from other resources is to use the export.
• Config.DateFormat: format the date in the function TimeToString(time): '%d': day; '%m': month; '%Y': year; '%y': short year.
  • Example: { '%d', '%m', '%Y' } will produce 20/05/2020
