Item question related with charges and cooldown

[Darxy]

Can somebody make a trigger or give me a general detailed idea about one(since I suck with triggers) that makes a certain item go on cooldown once all of its charges are spent?

As far as I know, there is no way to make an item/ability go on cooldown. The solution is to replace the ability/item with a fake ability (dummy ability) and make the unit use this ability/item to trigger a fake cooldown. After x seconds (once the cooldown has refreshed) you swop the ability back to the original.

May need more information on what your tying to do. Does the item's charges get refreshed after it cools down? Does it, after running out of charges, have a cooldown on each use?

Yes, once charges reach 0 it goes on CD. When CD ends it has its original charges ready to be used again.

I would recommend making two items. One with one charge that has a cooldown and one with however many charges you want that doesn't. Once you use it check to see if there is only one charge left and then replace the item with the one with one charge and a cooldown so it will go on CD when you use it.

Catching it when the cooldown runs out to replace it with the one without CD might involve a timer.
