[HELP]Cooldowns

[kenegeneget13]

how can i resume the cooldown of a spell when its remove....and will be added later like invoker in dota???


p.s : sorry 4 the english..

 

[jonhysone]

resume CD when removing? Huh?

 

[Azusa]

disable that spell for a certain player

 

[BloodDrunk]

I think he means to pause the cooldown of the spell when it's removed from the command board and resume the cooldown when that spell is brought back to the command board. Like Invoker (from DotA) does it. He combines 3 orbs and then presses the spellbook and the spell is brought to the CB.

I don't think that's possible lol. Or is it?

The only way to make spells disappear and reappear while not messing up cooldowns is by using engineering upgrade.
There's a ton of tutorials on the subject, but essentially the point is that you have 1 dummy ability(disabled) and your real ability. The engineering upgrade switches between them.

It's possible . When a hero casts an ability . An ability is level 1 for example and cool down 20 . Let's assume !
Make an lnteger that is increasing +1 when a hero dies , store that integer . when the ability gets back increase integer .

Xonok can u make a test map of that ?

The slam uses a short cooldown on first cast(1 second). If you cast it again within 5 seconds, then it uses a longer cooldown(15 seconds)

The lightning has a 50% chance to not go on cooldown(or use an alternate one, if you modify the second ability)

Actually that's incorrect. You can use the channel base ability together with UnitIncAbilityLevel() (sorry if that's incorrect I'm on my mobile device) to hide the spell. The only case you'd want something besides this is if the ability must have instant cast time.

See "pick a card" from my twisted fate spell pack for demonstration.

Yeah, I guess it works too(for single spells), while for replacing it is better to use engineering.

Not really. They both provide the same functionality, but upgrade requires extra object editor data and is less extensible.

 

[kenegeneget13]

how about if you add a spell then u cast it then u remove and add it again...i want to continue the cooldown?

Yes, engineering upgrade has something so far unbeatable. It preserves cooldowns.

 

[kenegeneget13]

make a test map of that pleszz

I checked the spell description but I am not going to try and understand someone else's resource when you could just tell me how do you intend to make multiple abilities share a cooldown without using engineering upgrade.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Just test the map. The two abilities don't share a cool down, they just retain their individual ones. Imagine the unit always has both abilities, and you use some logic to only display one at a time

Alright, so both our points still stand then, I just simply didn't understand yours at first.

There is a test map attached to the first post, download and see the workings in Object Editor and Trigger Editor.

Try this:

• Player - Disable Acid Bomb for Player 1 (Red)

 

[defskull]

Try this:

• Player - Disable Acid Bomb for Player 1 (Red)

This would disable ability for Player.
It's fine if you only have 1 unit-type of that unit per Player but if you have more than one, you should not use this as this will collide with other unit that is not involved with the process.
