Ability CD being reset unintentionally

[Failenx]

For some reason, my ability's cooldown is being reset when I run the following triggers with it:

Things you should know, a Green Area is a area that the vampires can only access by using this spell, there are 9 of them, when he uses the spell, it teleports him to a Green Area that is being used for 30 seconds then teleports him back to his teleportation rune. (The teleportation rune is just for looks).. the other dummy is basically just the duration). The trigger works, it's just that the ability cooldown resets every time. It resets immediately after he uses the ability.

The spell is based off of taunt.

You remove the ability and instantly add it back; I think the problem lies there.

That only happens if no green Areas have been taken.

The problem lies somewhere else, I've even removed those parts of the trigger and it still resets the cooldown.

To make it a bit more clear, the first two ifs check some stuff unimportant to the actual spell, it's all after those two if functions.

It's all on the bottom.

Try another base ability, e.g. Howl of Terror with Targets Allowed to Self, delete buffs, duration and stats boost of course.

Alright, I'll try that and get back to you with an edit on this post.

EDIT: Doesn't work

Oh, in case you don't know how to remove that leak,

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))]

Edit: Oh, I guess you know that; I just saw that loop.

Edit2: Mind pming me the map?

My map is a huge mess, so beware.

EDIT: Did you get it? It keeps giving me server errors, i'll try again.

Ok, so, how can I test it now? I used the ability (it normally has cooldown by the way), but, where should I use it?

You got AIM? there are a couple triggers you need to enable (sorry i forgot to enable them before I sent it to you)
my AIM: Nutzee101

EDIT: AIM not AOL

Go to the "Ability Effects Category" and enalbe "debugs", also, go into the "Vampire Teleport Ability" triggers and change the ability being cast from howl of terror to rune of teleportation.

when the game starts, press 1 and then use the ability.

Fixed. I used "Wait 0.00 seconds" before the action (Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of GreenTo[RandomInt])) and it worked.

Thanks!! +rep

Edit: I gotta spread some first

I got a better suggestion. Do not use wait, because it is a very bad style, the wait command will at least take 0.25 seconds to execute, even if you specify it to be 0.01 second.

Suggestion:

Use trigger3 and a timer

Heres how it works,
Trigger3

Event: Every 0.05 second of the game
Condition:
Actions:
if(timer ==0) then
set timer = timer + 0.05
If timer = 0.05 then
move caster
and all the rest of the actions
end if
end if

that's simple and easy isn't it? all you need is another trigger and every works like smooth and wicked =)
