pause cooldown ability

[DexterFstone]

Hi
it's possible to make a ability to pause enemy abilities cooldown?
for example enemy cast ability then go to cooldown for 12 second after that me cast pause ability and cooldown for enemy pause for 5 second (after 17 second ability is ready)

[General] - Pause cooldown

Is there a way to pause a unit's cooldown? Neither pause unit nor hide unit pause the cooldown, so I wonder if it is possible. I need this so the abilities do not cool down during cinematics.

That's an old post The cooldown functions didn't exist back then.

This should help:

[General] - Set ability remaining cooldown to certain value?

Hi everyone, was wondering if there is a way to set the remaining cooldown of an ability for a unit to a certain value. Specific usecase: Custom ability being cast, say it has 10 second cooldown, if the target is invalid (determined in a trigger) I want to be able to set the remaining...

But it's not that simple. In order to reference each ability that a unit has you'll need to keep track of them in a Hashtable. You do this by saving the ability id to the unit at an index. So the unit's first ability would be stored at index 1, second ability at index 2, etc... You would also want to store the number of abilities a unit has as well, which could be saved at index 0.

Then when the time comes to pause the cooldowns for a unit you would first load index 0 to get the unit's total number of abilities, and then from there use a For Loop going from 1 to Total number of abilities (the loaded value). Finally you'd load the abilities one at a time using the For Loop's provided integer, adjusting their cooldown with the the Get Cooldown/Set Cooldown functions. Something like this:

• For each Integer A from 1 to (Load 0 of Key(Triggering unit) from CooldownHashtable do...
• Set Variable Integer = Load (Integer A) of Key(Triggering Unit) from CooldownHashtable
• Custom script: set udg_AbilityCode = udg_Integer
• Set Variable Real = (Cooldown remaining of AbilityCode + 5.00)
• Unit - For Unit (Triggering unit), start cooldown of ability AbilityCode " over " Real seconds.

The variables used in the trigger are named after their variable types.

Note that you MIGHT be able to do this without a Hashtable by getting the abilities by their index, I know you can do this with Item related abilities but I think that's exclusive to them.

Can pause cooldown?

how to add extra cooldown for ability (Ability 2 Void of DotA map Do)

If you're on patch 1.31+ then you can use the method found in that link I posted. There's an Action that lets you Start the Cooldown of an ability. So you Start the cooldown of the ability and set it to it's current cooldown + X seconds.

If you wanted to do something like Void's Time Dilation ability, you would want to check if the abilities current cooldown is > 0.00 seconds before adjusting it, since it should only affect abilities that are currently on cooldown.

Disabling an ability will not pause it's cooldown. What I described before is your best option as far as I know.

If you're on patch 1.31+

No, When your map was saved in World Editor of V1.31 then warcraft V1.26 can not run it.
But Maps saved in World Editor of Warcraft 3 V1.26 can run in Warcraft 3 V1.31.

No, When your map was saved in World Editor of V1.31 then warcraft V1.26 can not run it.
But Maps saved in World Editor of Warcraft 3 V1.26 can run in Warcraft 3 V1.31.

so how it possible some option is patch 1.31 but it is used on DotA or LoD map and this maps only run is 1.26? for example cooldown change
"This map only supports Warcraft 3 patch 1.26! Not 1.24, 1.27, 1.28 or anything else"
so how change cooldown or pause it in patch 1.26?

Memory hack I suppose.

That uses the Memory Hack which exists only for 1.26 patch.
