[JASS] Calling BlzSetUnitAbilityCooldown crashes the game on cast

[Boar]

Hey guys!

So, I'm using a spell based off of 'Chemical Rage' - I'm using Jass to reduce the cooldown of this ability forever by 1 second. The problem is that it crashes the game when I cast it next. Got any ideas?

            // Reduce the cooldown of the ultimate ability
            set levelOfAbility = GetUnitAbilityLevel(this.target, SPELL_E_ID)
            set cooldown = BlzGetUnitAbilityCooldown(this.target, SPELL_E_ID, levelOfAbility)
          
            if cooldown - this.getCooldownReduction() > 1 then
                call BlzSetUnitAbilityCooldown(this.target, SPELL_E_ID, levelOfAbility, cooldown - this.getCooldownReduction())
            else
                call BlzSetUnitAbilityCooldown(this.target, SPELL_E_ID, levelOfAbility, 1)
            endif

Maybe the variables are somehow wrong.

For example, let's say the cooldown is trying to be set to -1, maybe that would cause a crash?

So I'd remove the cd calls and do a few debugs messages to make sure the calculations are correct and whatnot.

So it should only be crashing if it is a negative value?

Tinkering with it now...

The cooldown is definitely being set correctly. I'm seeing it being reduced (By logging the cooldown via BlzGetCooldownRemaining) go from 200.00 -> 199.00 -> 198.00 etc.

But the moment the ability is cast and the cooldown has been altered at all, the map crashes.

hmm...

which event are you using for that trigger? If you are using spell cast event, try using the starts-effect equivalent instead--maybe setting the cooldown at that time is bugging out the engine.

You can also try doing a 0 second timer before setting the cooldown and see if that fixes the crash.

It's called from a periodic timer, when <this> custom missile enters within 50 units of the target.

There's no crash on other abilities, maybe its *just* Chemical Rage that's broken

I may be wrong here, but isn't chemical rage a morphing skill like metamorphosis? I know morphing abilities in conjunction with triggets can cause quire wonky behaviour. Could this be the reason for the problem?
