[Trigger] Need function for spell:Passive Spell cant be activated more than every X seconds

[seksiness]

I have a counter attack spell which is mostly GUI. Its passive and activates on a % chance when the hero is attacked.
However i wish to limit how often this happens. The way i thought i'd go about this is to give the hero a specific buff when the spell activates that lasts X seconds but i cant see a give hero spell function in GUI, only a remove buff one.
And when the hero has the buff, the ability will not activate.
Any help given is greatly appreciated!

native UnitAddAbility takes unit whichUnit, integer abilityId returns boolean

GUI:

• Unit - Add <ability> to <unit>

How do you detect if a hero has an ability in GUI conditions? Im only aware you can detect if a buff is active.
On a side note how do you hide a buff status?(at the status section to the right of the heroes' portrait)
And a even more trivial matter, how do you remove need for the player to (click any button to continue) in the loading screen?

Thanks

p.s: RolePlaynGamer i checked out your link to the preview of your Everwood ORPG... looks SICK. Hope to be able to play it soon

• (Level of <ability> for <unit>) Greater than 0

It's an "Integer Comparison".

Find the ability in the object editor, and under the field called "Stats - Buffs" remove everything.

And a even more trivial matter, how do you remove need for the player to (click any button to continue) in the loading screen?

Honestly, i have NO idea on how to do that.. =0

I'm soon adding a lot more of text to the post and more than 30 screenshots, some of them from ingame. =)
