I am looking for a plugin that allows for a real-time expiration on an equip, starting the "countdown" when you gain the item, but removes it when a certain amount of time is up. The main reason I want this is to provide players a unique weapon or armor for playing the demo of my game, but not have it stick around forever (probably around 3 real days) forcing them to find an actual in-game item.

I tried doing it myself, but could not get it to work.

Thoughts:

- Not have it remove the equip during a battle, easy enough by just using the $gameParty.inBattle() function.

- Have a Common event run when it is removed (to possibly give the player a notification, like through YEP_Gab windows)

(I am using YEP_ItemCore, and I have Weapons and Armor set to be independent.)

is it still counting when you exit the game?

Yeah. So like if you got the item on Dec 3rd at noon, it would expire on Dec 6th at noon if set to three days. (Or just expire upon loading the save file if anytime after)

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
