Thanks. I'll test it out. I wonder if it goes in to cool down when you enter combat with some skills.

Combat state changed is what i'm using to add or remove the helm lol. But if you use some skills.. like shield charge.. to initiate combat, it's as though the collectible had been used and is on cool down and get the warning "That collectible is not ready"

end

function DoThat****MyDude()
     UseCollectible(#)
     EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForUpdate("Refire", RetryFunction, 100)
end

Function will just keep trying every 100 ms until it gets used. Might want to put a counter variable on it too so it times out after a few seconds if not.

Awesome! That is exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you so much!
