Autocast Orbs cooldown problem (frost arrow, etc...)

[69stehend]

i havent tested this for all autocast orb effects (only for frost arrow and black arrow)
when a unit with activated frost arrows automatically (= without being ordered) attacks an enemy unit then it fires frost arrows and uses mana but the cooldown doesnt get activated
are there any autocast orb effects without this problem?

ps: i think this thread is wrong

Sorry , it's the cold truth. If you want a unit to cast an attacking autocast with high cooldown it's best if you just put it to a fixed mana cost with maximum mana of the unit enough to cast it once.The cooldown would be while the mana replenishes. Not a good idea for heroes tho...

i solved it this way: whenever the unit aquires a target its ordered to attackmove to its own position (unless the units current order isnt "attack")

unit acquires target event doesnt fire if u give a direct attack/smart order

but still:
in the linked thread theyre saying that the effect also doesnt apply
but it DOES apply
