[Trigger] adding Cooldown?

[MateuszD]

Is there a possibility to add a cooldown for an ability ? I didn't found a trigger for that. I only found one for removing the cooldown.

 

[xD.Schurke]

there is no way to do it, only u could create a channeling spell, and order the unit to stop casting then, then the spell would have a cd, but u can't say: add X seconds cd to spell of unit

Object editor - Abilities - Cooldown

Enough said.

 

[MateuszD]

hmm maybe it wil be easier when i explain why i need to add cooldown! So i have a triggered passive ability. Which has after use 10 sec cooldown (turnoff trigger; w8 10 sec; turnon) And i would like to make it seeable for a player. I know i can add cooldown to each passive ability but my custom abilty has % chance! So i cant do that. Hope there is other way to make it possible!

 

[Kingz]

What does the spell do?

 

[MateuszD]

its sth like passive blink! with damage

 

[-Berz-]

It is possible:
When you cast the spell, you remove the old spell and add another(with same tooltips/manacost etc, the only thing you change that it is based on some other ability like "taunt" and you add that ability larger cooldown(in object editor).
Than when the ability was cast and you remove it, you add this ability based on taunt and order unit to taunt (unit issue order with no target> night elves mountian taunt.
Than you wait (pooled wait) the cooldownd duration and remove taunt and add the old ability.

So you just need 2 abilities:
- first original
- second(fake one) just like the first one only thad does nothing and have bigger cooldown
- you swap them

And why do you need that anyway?

 

[MateuszD]

hmmm thats good idea but, when you click on it you get the massge SPELL isnt ready or sth and the passive isnt a spell! when you click on reincarnation while cd nothing will happened

 

[Kingz]

Is it activated on attack or when attacked?

 

[MateuszD]

when attacked

 

[Kingz]

Does the caster attacks and deals damage or just deals damage via trigger?

 

[MateuszD]

ok i discribe whole effect! So you have eg 10% chance to blink to the target attacking you and attack him (normal attack order) after attack you will be ported back to your loc before this effect. This passive has 10 sec cd.

 

[-Berz-]

HmHmHmmmm....
So what you need is like:
-You can click on ability, but nothing happens
-When you attack some one it deals (lets say just some more damage)
-And when that (bonus damage) happens that ability gets a cd
-and that passive cant trigger when the ability is in cd?

 

[MateuszD]

Well nearly instead of

-When you attack some one it deals (lets say just some more damage)

it should be -When some one attack me it deals ....

 

[Kingz]

Make an dummy spell based on orb of slow ability, make an dummy ability based on your ability, when triggered replace your spell with the orb spell before the attack is made! Then after some wait replace them back.
Make the orb effect something like storm bolt, add 100% chance of hitting on 1st level and 0% on 2nd level so when you strike the target the cooldown will begin. Also increase the level of the dummy ability after the attack.

 

[MateuszD]

great thanks! I will do it +rep both of you! Hmm but i will use crit with 100% chance to deal 1x damage instead of the orb ^^

EDIT: There is a problem now! When I disable the ability and add the dummy one. I can't increase the level of the ability while it is the dummy one

 

[-Berz-]

set level of <ability> for <unit> to level of <ability2> for <unit2>

This should work.

 

[MateuszD]

hmm it works only for the "main" interface not for the learn hero skills interface. This spell isnt there^^

 

[Dr Super Good]

You can not add / remove cooldown for abilities via triggers. You also can not reset a specific ability's cooldwon via triggers. You can only reset all ability cooldown via triggers.

 

[-Berz-]

Post you current trigger.
And use trigger tags please so we could edit the trigger here

I think that the second trigger isn't needed, you can make all in one,
And the part where you add event trough triggers(i'm not sure if it works)

Edit:
Ok i need an explanation again...
When you get attacked there is 10% that the attacked unit will blink to the attacker and attacker will get hurt for the agility of attacked unit and than it blinks back? And when it gets the damage the ability goes in 10 sec cooldown and in that 10 seconds that passive ability can't be casted?

 

[MateuszD]

When you get attacked there is a 10% chance that you will be moved to the atacking unit dealing damage + agilitybonus. After attack the unit will be moved back where it was before the effect has started. The ability gets 10 sec cd and while this 10 sec it cant be casted (The player must see the cd)

 

[-Berz-]

Aha, the part where you attack+agility bonus...(i don't know how to detect that attack D: )

I will try to make you the spell

Edit:
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!!

I made the spell, it worked nice, there was only one thing wrong, and i just saved the map and my PC crashed... now it gives me an error and i cant open it. Fuck!

Mby you can open it:
View attachment BlinkBlink.w3x
If you can't tell me and I'll make another one, now that i know how =D

And i must say it looked pretty cool =D
Is it wrong if it deals 2xagility damage?

It makes me so pissed off! grr I mean i made a nice spell and now its fucked up!

 

[MateuszD]

dammit i cant open it too ^^

EDIT: btw could you do that the attacked unit will be moved instantly behind the attacking unit ? It would make it look very cool! and with the bonus agi dmg i will set it later

 

[-Berz-]

Sure, I'll try =D

Edit:

I'm having problems with setting the level too D:
It works, but sometimes it fucks up(it blinks him 2x insted of only once) and than it sets the ability to level 1... So now i need to figure out, how to make it that he wont blink 2x D:
And here it is if you want to kill your brains too =D
View attachment PassiveBlinkStrike.w3x

Edit2:

Man my head will blow up...
I'll just give you a sudgestion:
Make it without cooldown and with really low chance like
-2% on lvl1
-4% on lvl2
-6% on lvl3
Because i can't figure out how to set the level when the whole things fucks up..

Edit3:

Here i like this one much more:
View attachment PassiveBlinkStrike.w3x
And make it that deals some more damage on each level
(note the first map i attached here is fucked up now D

 

[MateuszD]

Thank you i changed few things in your spell making it just like i like it to have! +rep (already gave) xD

 

[-Berz-]

Really man, if i would now how to set the level, i would make it that way...
