passive skill with cooldown

[paskovich]

I'm making a passive ability that causes poisonous gases to spread when the hero dies. That's ok, I can do that, but i need a cooldown to it(like reincarnation). I could only make the ability by a "trigger-run" timer (if we can call that), but this way the passive icon doesn't have a cooldown timer... is there any possible way to do that? what ability should i base it on?

 

[Ramza]

u can base it on spell block (dunno the name) but the item 'amulet of spellblock' has got it

i tried the spell shield that you suggested, but it's not what i need, cause it can be activated manually too by clicking on it. or it would be good if i could detect if the reincarnation is active when a hero dies. if i could manage to do that, than i would kill the reincarnated unit instantly with a dummy or something. any suggestions?

well if a unit reincarnates, it casts reincarnate4 right? so just make a trigger with the event: unit casts an ability. conditon: ability = the reincarnation based spell
actions: ........

yeah that would be easy heh! i've already tried it, but it doesn't seem to "cast" reincarnation... so it doesnt work this way.

try using 'a unit starts the effect of an ability' or if hat doesnt work, check if a unit has the reincarnate buff (a unit has the buff till it comes back to life again right?)

ok i gave it up... i made it with the trigger-timer. no icon cooldown. but thx for helping.

well wut if u made a trigg when he is at X% life he cast a modifed norm war stomp that targets nothing so he will have a cd but u would have to play around with the event a bit
