Hi Guys.

i just wanna ask how do i make the casted spell cd when it is changed with a new ability then when returned it will still cd.

I am 95% sure that you can only reset cooldown with triggers but not manipulate it. I have no idea about jass throught... but I am prety sure its the same.

If you only have 1 hero (or unit that can use that ability), you can use

call SetPlayerAbilityAvailable( Player, AbilityId, boolean )

"Player" is the owning player of the caster. You can use a variable for this.
"AbilityId" is the raw ID of the spell (such as 'AHds' for divine shield, or 'A001' for a custom ability).
Boolean is a boolean (true or false): false = ability is disabled, true = ability is enabled.

This will effectively remove the ability while not messing with the cooldown.

Example:

• Remove Spell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: call SetPlayerAbilityAvailable( Player(0), 'AHds', false )
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call SetPlayerAbilityAvailable( Player(0), 'AHds', true )

This will remove the divine-shield ability for Player(0) ( = red ).
After 5 seconds, the ability will be enabled again.

Example with variables

Variables:

• "player" - Player variable.
• "abilityId" - Integer variable

• Remove Spell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local integer udg_abilityId = GetSpellAbilityId( )
    • Custom script: local player udg_player = GetTriggerPlayer( )
    • Custom script: call SetPlayerAbilityAvailable( udg_player, udg_abilityId, false )
    • Wait 5.00 seconds
    • Custom script: call SetPlayerAbilityAvailable( udg_player, udg_abilityId, true )
    • Custom script: set udg_player = null

Note that this is MUI!

You don't have to change the basics of this too much: the variables will automatically be set to the correct values (the ID of the spell and the triggering player).
This is already MUI due to the local-trick. You can add conditions for the spells you want to change, that should be all.

(I hope I got all of this correct, I'm in a bit of a hurry ).

Why the hard work for him when you have this ?

• Player - Disable Abillity for Player X

Player - Enable/Disable Ability

• Player - Disable Abillity for Player X

Player - Enable/Disable Ability

Because my GUI is getting a bit sloppy?
(Besides, "hard work"? You're making it sound as if GUI is easier than JASS . Both functions are 1 line each, so there's no difference in that either).
The local variables are for making it MUI, which cannot be done in GUI in any easy way.
