Display attack period

[hujgavno22]

Is there a way to display attack period of bosses onscreen? Like a stopwatch sorta, for example dragonfly: her attack period is 4 seconds, so when she hits you timer resets

Not in the vanilla game, and I haven't seen a mod that does that. Should be possible, though. You'd have to make an all_clients_require_mod mod, which displays some UI for everyone within a certain range of the boss. Not an easy task, but it can be done.

I found the way to display their attack range in client-sided mod, do you think timer thing is impossible in client-sided?

Not sure. It would depend entirely on how their timers are built. I'd guess you could start your own timer (in the mastersim/server-part) when the last attack of a certain type was made, and then the clients can query for that timer every frame. I've never done networked stuff, but I've sen things like these work.
