Item Expire

It is easy for oldfag dev, but impossible for newfag leacher, so i can share my way to do it))
We need give to player some weapon for 3 hours for example.

A. We will use:
1. Weapon Fist*
2. Some locked room in arena (there are rooms at top and bottom).
3. Quest for time.

B. Step by step:
1. Player activates quest, which gives him a Fist*
2. After that automatically activates new quest, which requires Fist* to be finished and with 3 hour limit (ingame time, offline dont takes time!).
3. If player hide items in bank or wear it, they cannot be taken by qouest, we must force player to take off that items.
4. If he takes it off and quest completes, he gets 1 exp and spirit points, losts that item.
5. If he insist on using that item, quest fails... but if it fails, he get teleported to that room in arena.
6. Trigger in arena reactivates that quest again, but this time with 30 second limit.
7. In that room we must place Banker, if he hided item in bank.

What we have:
Player gets item.
After some time quest takes it back.
If he hide item in bank or wear it, we force him to place it back to inventory by teleporting him to locked room every 30 seconds after time ends.

I go farther, activate a KIT Quest to enter the map, I have maps on my server 'world' of up when the player comes up to receive the items, to lose out. (I do not remember if this function is available).

Like it or not is totally impractical as much work to depend on the style of your server.

Not only that but it would be rather simple to control whether a character could only do it once ever, or once a day, etc... via tasks :D Though it would all work, it seems a little tedious though too... Like the time limited flyer you get from supply stash, would certainly not be worth all this type of 'trouble' to go through just to make it timed...

Thats why i said to use it for something rare and expensive.

Not sure if you want the actual coding, So i posted a link to the quest.
If you want the task editor pic I ca post one and show you the details of it, I didn't really understand your message is all.

Thats a good method to do it, I am creating an event patch for my server and well one of the events has only 1 big winner and then mini-prizes for everyone else who took part and basically the event is Activated by a GM people play and the winner is announced which then the winner goes to a GM and the GM uses a web feature and adds the item through mail to the character with a 7 day timer then when the event is about to start again next week there will be a new winner etc but this is all manual and I would love to do it so its automatic so this subject is very interesting to me.

Im too much lazy, so thats why i spent all the day to make all the stuff in my little art project automated.
It gives me and gms free time. And players dont need to wait gms to be online.
