[Solved] Custom Item Ability Not Going on Cooldown

[Specialsaucewc]

Hey Guys,

I am trying to create an item similar to Kelen's Dagger of Escape but requires a friendly unit to teleport to. I used the channel ability and created the triggers for the functionality but when the item is used it is not put on cooldown. If I use the event A Unit Finishes Casting an Ability the cooldown works but the unit is not teleported (though the special effects still work). Is there something I am missing behind how items go on cooldown?

Trigger

• Teleport
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Item Teleport
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Casting unit) using Abilities\Spells\Items\TomeOfRetraining\TomeOfRetrainingCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Set Item_TeleP = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Unit - Move (Casting unit) instantly to Item_TeleP
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Item_TeleP)
    • Set Item_TeleP = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Item_TeleP using Abilities\Spells\Items\TomeOfRetraining\TomeOfRetrainingCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Item_TeleP)

Wanna know an easier way of doing this?
Use Archmage's Mass Teleport and set number of teleported units to 1 and set the delay casting time to 0.

The reason your item doesn't go in cooldown is because the unit is teleported instantly, for the trigger to work you would have needed to either add him to a unit group that you move every 0.03 seconds in a different trigger.
As in move unit once then remove it from the group.

Or

Find the custom script setPosX, setPosY and use that. However I couldn't find it on my short Googling.

Wow thanks for the help I completely forgot about Mass Teleport.
Easy fix!
