Help With Starfall Ability cd time

[Bond009]

Star-fall in wc3 is retarded as it turns out and cant have a longer cd time than 300 secs (5mins)

I need this ability be have a 12 min cd time.. 720sec
Does anyone know how something that should be so simple can be done some workaround way?

Disable that ability (after it's used) for given player. Start a timer with 720 interval (non periodic) and when it expires; enable that spell again.

Additionaly you could use some passive ability with DISBTN (disabled) icon during that 'cooldown' for some eye-candy or as 'cooldown' indicator.

It's not the only problem of Starfall. For example : starfall return the position of the unit at the moment of the cast and the starfall don't return the new unit position after a deplacement/ (with a setunitx/y)

I think if you replace the starfall ability with a new spell without any effect and which is without target with same icon and 720secs CD, and you issue order to your unit to cast it at the endof starfall. It will be good and you won't lose any esthetic.

Actually, fuck I've said before. Shift + click on Starfall's cd field and enter the desired value.

i can enter 720 in there but it still only does 300 secs when the spell is used the cd starts at where 5 mins would be, its not a matter of not being able to enter in the bigger value

Edit:
i tried using channel as a replacement spell to test it and that also doesnt work.. i thought i member it being able to have a longer cd time.. wtf is going on lol no spells can have a longer cd time than 5 mins!?!

Cleary you've done it wrong. I just changed the cooldown of mine to 999999 secs. First off, you need to SHIFT-click the cd then enter your new cooldown, with shift-click you can alter things beyond the normal bounds, you can even change blizzard to deal -damage so it heals instead of damages, however it will be reduced by magic resistance so it would be best to trigger that one.

About channel: Starfall is hardcoded into wc3 to take its effects, all channel does is provide an amazing base spell for triggered spells.

Max cooldown is 5 minutes. No matter what you enter in Stats - Cooldown field, timer will skip everything after 300 seconds.
You will either have to use my solution at first post or use dummy-unit requirement which you remove after spell is cast for given duration.

 

[Bond009]

yeah i guess i'll work something out... there is really no way to have a cd over 5 mins eh.. unreal

If nothing else, how about switching it with another ability with the same name and description, but it looks disabled and becomes enabled (by switching it back with the original skill) after a 720 second timer ends? The only problem with that is that the cooldown bar won't be shown, but the cooldown could be whatever you wanted it to be.

Could show a timer window to display cooldown... But that would be ugly

Maximum Cooldown Time for custom game I have played: Glyph of Fortification, from DotA.

It has 5 minutes of cooldown (which is maximum I think)

So, it's a hardcoded mechanics you can't change, but you can be creative, as Spinnaker suggested though
