Turns one type of on-screen alert message on or off and sets its cooldown.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
EnableAlert(alertType, enabled, cooldown)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Arguments ==<br />
;alertType : <code>number</code> – The alert type, a <code>SystemData.AlertContainer</code> value. Fractions are dropped.<br />
;enabled : <code>boolean</code> – <code>true</code> to show alerts of this type, <code>false</code> to hide them.<br />
;cooldown : <code>number</code> – Cooldown for this alert type. The stock UI passes milliseconds. Fractions are dropped.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
Nothing.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
* With <code>enabled = true</code> the type's enabled flag is set and <code>cooldown</code> becomes its cooldown. The previous cooldown value is kept in a second slot.<br />
* With <code>enabled = false</code> only the enabled flag is cleared; <code>cooldown</code> is ignored and the stored cooldown is left alone.<br />
* <code>alertType</code> is not range-checked. Use only the <code>SystemData.AlertContainer</code> values.<br />
* <code>enabled</code> must be a real boolean. Passing <code>nil</code> or a number raises an ''Invalid Parameters'' error.<br />
* The function needs at least three arguments and only reads the last three.<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
None besides the ''Invalid Parameters'' argument check.<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
From <code>ea_settingswindow/source/settingswindowtabinterface.lua</code>:<br />
<pre><br />
local cooldownInMs, cooldownSlider = ProcessSliderCooldown( MessageBodyWindowName.."CombatSlider" )<br />
SettingsWindowTabInterface.SavedMessageSettings.combatSlider = cooldownSlider<br />
EnableAlert( SystemData.AlertContainer.COMBAT, SettingsWindowTabInterface.SavedMessageSettings.combat, cooldownInMs )<br />
</pre><br />
