Timed Item Remover v1.0
By Rheiko
#####################
This system periodically checks for the time remaining of an item that has been registered into the system by creating a new instance when an item is registered. When time is up, the item will be killed and eventually removed from the game. Each item can have different duration of existing, it's configurable. If the item is acquired, it will stay in inventory and the timer will be reset. This system can be useful, especially in RPG maps. This system also supports tomes and runes as it can properly remove them. However, it doesn't support built-in item tables.
How to use:
Please refer to How to use trigger to see the documentation first, then you can check out some demo triggers to see some examples.
It's quite a simple system, so I expect it to be straightforward.
How to Import:
- Make sure your World Editor has "Automatically Create Unknown Variable" enabled. You can find it in File => Preferences
- Copy all the triggers in "Timed Item Remover" folder
- Make sure the variables are assigned properly
- Enjoy!
If you need any support for this system, feel free to contact me:

Cheers!
