[Trigger] Cant find action....

[Homicide13]

Im pretty sure i found an action that gets the amound of time spent channeling an ability and then setting it to a var ( or something like that ) except now i cant find it... If anyone knows what im talking about could they please help me as to where it is?

There is no such action like what yuo've written, but it can be calculated by two triggers, and a bit of custom scripts:

#1
Event - Unit starts the effect of an ability
Cond - Ability = <YourAbility>
Actions -
Set ChannelEnd to false
Custom script - loop
Custom script - exitwhen udg_ChannelEnd == true *
Wait 1 second
Set TimeSpent = TimeSpent + 1 **
Custom script - endloop
Here, TimeSpent will give you the ammount of time spent.

#2
Event - Unit stops channeling an ability
Cond - Ability = <YourAbility>
Action -
Set ChannelEnd to true

* ChannelEnd is a boolean variable. You must put an 'udg_' tag in front of a global variable's name in JASS.
** TimeSpent is an integer variable. (Big surprise)
