Awesome! That's twice you've helped me out. Thank you so much!

I'm using LiTTleDRAgo's Damage PopUp script and some common events as a way to display loot in Blizz ABS. To keep the items from popping up at the same time, I add in a 5 frame wait, but of course that practically pauses the game. Not too cool if you ask me. I think there might be a simple modification to the script, but being a non-scripter, I'm not positive.

Basically what I would like to change is for there to be a 5 frame wait before the script will/can be called again. I saw something on another site about using a variable as a wait on a different script, but I couldn't fudge that myself.

If someone would like to tackle this, I would greatly appreciate it. ^_^ Thanks a bunch in advance!

And here's the script:

Yay! It works! I'm glad it was an easy fix. Thank you so much!

I'm using RMXP first off. ^_^

After isolating which of the umpteen-thousand scripts was causing the issue, I figured out GUILLAUME777's Multi-Slot and ForeverZer0's Blacksmith Shop 2.0 don't play well together. Everything works perfectly....

... until you try to forge one of the armors that go into an extra slot...

... then this happens:

*shrug* I'm not sure if it's a fixable problem or not. Any help in this is greatly appreciated. Here's hoping I don't have to cut out one of those scripts. There are other multi-slot scripts and blacksmith scripts, but these two have the features I want. And are really easy to configure for a non-scripter.

And here's a quickie demo/game thingy with just the problem scripts.

Thanks again to anyone who gives this a shot! Or just a thanks for taking the time to read this. lol
