Minimum target range of abilities

[micca]

I have a custom ability based on Channel. Is it possible to set minimum custing range of such ability? It deals damage in an area around your casting position and around your target position and it would be too op if you could just cast it right under your feet.

Yeah simple just make a trigger with 2 point variable
When unit start effect of ability
Set point1 = caster position
Set point2 = target position
If/then/else
If
Distance between point 1 and point 2 less then 150
Then
Order unit to stop
You cound add sound here like error or somthing
Else
Start the effect of ability

But that will put that ability on cooldown. Is there a way to reset cooldown of a specific ability?

Is this an aoe ability ? If not, iirc blink has minimum and max range options, also you can reset a specific ability's cooldown. There is an action for that

as far as a I know ordering unit to stop will not put it on CD I have some abilities in my map that has requirement if it didn't meet the requirements i order them to stop and the ability doesn't go on Cooldown.

I've found a solution - removing and readding the ability and reseting it's level. So it works now thanks.

you can check these things when the unit begins casting and order it to stop to cancel the spell usage
