My spell-based attack system is stuffed :(

[GoGoTauren]

I made a spell based attack system for my map. You use it, then it replaces the ability with a dummy saying that it's cooling down, then it waits cooldown[player number of owner of (casting unit)] and replaces the dummy with the real ability, then you're ready to go again

the problem is, it only works for red. When any other players use it they get stuck in the cooldown and dont come out.

i wrote this at 11:00 at night so the trigger might not be an exact replica, but there arent any problems with the triggering as far as i can see

• Event:
• A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions:
• Ability being cast equal to attack
• Actions:
• Set Temppoint1[player number of (owner of(casting unit) = position of casting unit
• Set Temppoint2[player number of (owner of(casting unit) = position of casting unit
• sets unit groups, damages them, makes floating text etc.
• remove leaks
• Unit - add Attack cooldown to (casting unit)
• Unit - remove Attack from (casting unit)
• Wait (cooldown[player number of(owner of(casting unit))] seconds
• Unit - remove Attack cooldown from (casting unit)
• Unit - add Attack to (casting unit)

thanks for any help

I made one, here:

I hope it helps you, it is a spell based attack system, it might give you an idea.

And the problem with your stuff is: casting unit vanishes after a short wait, it is just a temporary save for the casting unit, I would recommend a array of units saving the attacking units and emulating the cooldown with a array of integers or reals which count down the cooldown.

And just as a information: use indexing and such for a MUI solution.

mmm so i guess i cant use triggering unit either?
i guess i'll just make an "attacking unit" array. thanks for the help
