Does this control the wait time for all attacks or is it specific to the next attack being used. So for instance someone that uses a spell that has a longer chant than more common spells, is the purpose of this script to give this effect?

^ I'm curious about that, too. This is pretty cool! :-)

It is intended for all attacks. These can be attacks that somehow uses some kind of time before they attack, etc. They can be skills or normal attacks.

Sorry I just want to make sure I understand you correctly. So I just use the script call for the desired skill/attack and this would change the wait time for all skills/attacks, so I would have to change the wait time back to normal? If so this wouldn't effect the skill/attack's wait time that I actually wanted changed?

It would, since it goes for every skill. Item and Skills are of the same type, so when you use a skill and you have this script, you can change the waiting time of everyone of them, then change them back to the default waiting time after.

Sweet, this will add some dimension to my games. Casting times for spells, and item perpetration time before using is really cool. Also it would be cool for skills that take time to prepare, like for classes that use guns, bows and other types of equipment like that.
