[Trigger] Detecting attack cooldown?

[Gjallarhorn]

Is it possible to detect the current attack cooldown of an unit using triggers? There are some unit properties that can be found in the trigger editor, such as life, mana, and even movement speed, but I can't find attack cooldown.

I want to detect this because I want to do a trigger that makes my unit damage the other unit when it is issued the attack order. But then the damage will apply before the hitting animation, so it gets kinda ugly. If I could detect the attack cooldown, I could make something like "Set AtkCdwn = Current Attack Cooldown of Unit", and then do "Wait (AtkCdwn) seconds" before my trigger applies the damage, and it would look like the damage was applied exactly when the hitting animation finished.

You need a damage detection system. You can find a lot of these in this site

As Marcelo said, use a damage detection system.

With a damage detection system, you can do a lot of things, like custom criticals, custom misses, double damage if the unit has a certain buff, etc.
All these without the engine interfering (like a red number popping up above the target when your guy critical hits, or the red "miss" if it misses).
You can also do "cool" things like add extra damage based on a certain stat (like 0.5% of hero's strength/agility/intelligence as bonus damage per attack).
