Weekly/Monthly Player Buff

[TDF]

Hello,

Totally new at this ... 

I am trying to create a mod that gives all the players a buff one time per (real time) week or month, for 1h.

I am assuming there is no existing trigger for this (FirstLoginOfTheWeek/Month) !?

Any way to achieve it ?

 

I am thinking that:

- I may be able to build a variable to hold the real time ... ?

.. or

- Have a dummy buff for a week minus 1 hour ... and start the real one for 1 hour when the first expires .. but the first one should count time when the player is offline as well ...

 

Any hints ?

Thank you!

 

Simple Buff below ... .

<config>
	<append xpath="/buffs">	
		<!-- Weekly Buff -->
	<buff name="buffWeeklyBonus" name_key="WeeklyBuff" tooltip_key="buffWeeklyBonusTooltip" description_key="buffWeeklyBonusDesc" icon="ui_game_symbol_xp">		
		<stack_type value="duration"/>
		<duration value="3600"/>
		<update_rate value="9"/>
		<effect_group>
			<!-- <requirement name="OnceAWeek ???"/>-->
			<passive_effect name="PlayerExpGain" operation="perc_add" value="0.2"/>	
		</effect_group>
	</buff>
	</append>
</config>
