Parameters

Arguments

Returns

start, duration, enable

start: Number - The time at which the current cooldown period began (relative to the result of GetTime), or 0 if the cooldown is not active or not applicable.
duration: Number - The duration of the current cooldown period in seconds, or 0 if the cooldown is not active or not applicable.
