Issue with cooldown for triggered spell

[X-Death]

I triggered a custom spell based on the Channel ability. My spell involves pausing the caster, waiting, and then unpausing him. After the caster is unpaused, the cooldown is already in motion. How can I fix this so the cooldown doesn't start until after the caster is unpaused?

Post trigger please

• Earth Bolt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Earth Bolt
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Pause Caster
    • Unit - Add Invulnerable (Neutral) to Caster
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Caster, 4)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of Caster) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Drain\DrainCaster.mdl
    • Set SFX = (Last created special effect)
    • Wait 3.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of Target using Doodads\Cinematic\Lightningbolt\Lightningbolt.mdl
    • Unit - Cause Caster to damage Target, dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Special Effect - Destroy SFX
    • Unit - Remove Invulnerable (Neutral) from Caster
    • Unit - Unpause Caster

I am aware that the trigger leaks and is inefficient. I'll be fixing it up later. But I think the cooldown issue lies within the Object Editor. Not too sure though.

Try Begins casting.

Also, change your variable setting into:

Custom script: local unit udg_<var> = GetTriggerUnit/GetSpellTargetUnit()

I cannot see why you would require it to make it work and suggest you to just increase the ability cooldown by 3.

If you really want to have it, you can try pausing the unit when he starts channeling and set the casting/channeling time to 3 seconds. I don't know if he will stop the ability though, but it is worth a try.
