Using the custom cooldown utility for custom buffs

[Aelto]

Discussion about the custom cooldown utility and how it could be used to implement new custom buffs in an easy way.

I'm simply copy-pasting from our RPO discussion:

"Regarding your fake-cooldown class - How can those buffs get assigned a title and an icon?

--------
Part of the reason why I was asking about creating new buffs is a mod idea I would title "Steady Presence":
One gripe I have with the game is that the crossbow doesn't deal enough damage.
And manual aiming is a fun mechanic, but it isn't encouraged.

Wouldn't it be great if successful aimed shots dealt significantly higher damage?
In addition to non-aimed shots also getting more powerful.

This could be tied to the skills Steady Shot and Steady Aim.
I also wanted to tie it to a new buff you get from meditation.
And I also wanted to do something with Sustained Glyphs for Yrden.

But coming to think of it:
Bonus Perks for Steady Shot and Steady Aim would be a great addition to RPO.

Don't you think?"

To assign a title and an icon to the custom buffs, you can set the values you need to the title and icon properties

If you wish to see how you would use this sharedutils module, you can look at the Consumables on cooldown mod i made, it contains a single local file with everything you'd need to implement what you want:

• define the custom buff, its duration, title and icon
• verify if the player already has the buff
• optionally do something when the buff expires
