Timeouts are reset each time the weapon is updated, right? Is there any way to prevent this, or would I have to create a separate weapon for the timeout?

That would defeat the purpose. I don't want the shops to have an endless stock of items at all times. I want a static amount of items each 24 hours; more specific, I want to make sure that there's nothing out of stock after 24 hours. Calculating when 24 hours has passed based on players entering the level seems overly complicated, especially since no facet of the system is used in level NPCs.
