Lengthen a cooldown
Add more time to a running cooldown, or start one: a penalty for breaking a rule, a boost for a paid perk (negative shortens).
cooldown.extend
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, lengthen a cooldown.”
Warned → Lengthen a cooldown chat 10m.
What it does
Add more time to a running cooldown, or start one: a penalty for breaking a rule, a boost for a paid perk (negative shortens). It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Storage in the palette.
When to use it
Use it to keep something between runs: add more time to a running cooldown, or start one: a penalty for breaking a rule, a boost for a paid perk (negative shortens).
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
