Cooldown Question

[Razorbrain]

Im at a computer without World Edit, so im wondering if

1. Can Passive Skills have cooldown WITHOUT triggers? triggers is no problem to me, im just wondering

2. Is there any way to make a Passive to show the cooldown?

and, i dont use JASS

No..I don't think so..but why would you like them to have cooldown?

 

[Diablo-dk]

the only passive skill with cooldown that i know is reincarnation..

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Yes but Reincarnation has a certain moment to be activated(when Hero dies)so it doesn't happen every 1 second.Skills like Devotion,Endurance Aura can't have cooldown and if they have it will be a problem,because the Aura will be activated for a second and then the cooldown will begin.

ok, but in dota, the Nerubian Weaver has a passive skill, the Gemeni Attack(or something) and if i remember right, it shows cooldown and has one

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

hmmm....yes...it's for one attack though.You can search for DotA Template maps and check them out(they are not openable though in the game).But it is in JASS...
But what you say is true,Nerubian Weaver has an attack that deals damage to nearby units i think...
you can always check it out yourself though create an Aura and give it a cooldown.

thx, + rep to u US.gr .P

I believe that if the passive ability has any sort of trigger criteria, such as when a unit is attacked with Evasion, or when a unit executes an attack, with Critical Strike, it is possible for the ability to have a cooldown, and mana cost. This is just speculation, I have never seen this and never tried it.

DotA is using orb ability for Geminate Attack. I think orb abilities can have cooldowns. Also, I'm 99% sure Spell Shield has a cooldown and is a passive ability.

 

[Razorbrain]

The thing is with orbs is that it casts the selected spell, and uses its cooldown, so if i use a orb with Storm Bolt, it wont cost any mana(i think) but will have a cooldown, and stun, and deal damage

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Razorbrain ur rep didn't affect mei hope a mod will see it.

Anyway you can do this:
Create the spell you want and have it to cost 0 mana.Then with triigers do the following:

Event-(when you want it,to be activated)
Condition-Whatever you want
Action-Hero-Order Hero<gen> to do Archmage-Blizzard(spell you want)
