A spell within a spell

[CloudWolf]

Right! As part of my diablo 3 map, im trying to make my wizards "Time Shield" have the ability to pulse.

As it stands, the "Time sheild" is a dummy ability, which when pressed activates the following trigger:

• Events
• Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
• (Ability being cast) Equal to time shield
• Actions
• Unit - Add Time shield aura to (triggering unit)
• Unit - Add Pulse to (triggering unit)
• Unit - Set level of Time shield aura to level of time shield
• Wait 10 game-time seconds
• Unit - remove time shield aura from (triggering unit)
• Unit - remove Pulse from (triggering unit)

Basically, whenever the dummy spell is pressed, the hero gains the aura, and the pulse ability for 10 seconds.

My problem is this:

Whenever Pulse is pressed, it resets the time shield dummy cooldown. It also uses the mana cost of the Time Shield dummy spell ability instead of its own.

What have I done wrong? Help! lol

I am not wholly aware of what these spells are supposed to do. Could you explain them?

It's probably caused by same base ability o.o

That's what happens when you have two abilities based off the sabe ability. When you cast one of them, both will be cast.

But it wouldn't explain why it resets the cooldown, would it?
If the other ability is triggered, post it too.

Otherwise it could probably be same base ability

I think the problem is somewhere other..

I've seen this problem first hand, and it very much sounds like what you're experiencing,

Fixed! I based both the dummy spell, and pulse on the warstomp ability xD

Thanks for the help!
