Possible to trigger cooldowns?

[corley]

i have a triggered spell that does not seem to be using the dummy spells cooldown. I have trie dusing multiply dummy spells to start the triggered spell casting but the cooldown is still 0 regardless. So my question is, is there a way to prevent people form spamming this ability?

use a timer and a boolean variable (maybe an array, if it has to be mui), that is set = true, when the timer ends.

You just add the condition boolean == true to your trigger, and set it = false, when its executed.

The only thing that comes on my mind, is to replace the ability with another(same tooltip, icon..but with cooldown) so when it comes out of cooldown replace it with an old ability.

Did you use the Event "A Unit Begins Casting An Ability"? If you, replace it with "A Unit Starts the Effect of An Ability". That generally works.

Tried this it works exactly the same, except now the spell is cast without using any mana??

Emm-A- no idea how to go about using your idea

Or adding 'Shockwave' as an caster effect in the effect tab on the spell.
That way the caster is paused for a little, and can't spam the spell, or flag it.

My idea was to use a boolean comparisson in the ability trigger.

• Event
• bla
• Condition
• Boolean Variable == true
• Action
• set Boolean Variable = false
• Your Action X
• Start Timer with your cooldown time

You just have to create a handling function for the timer, which resets the boolean variable.
You could use an boolean array, if it has to be MUI or you could use the Unit User Data (Custom Value) or whatever you want instead.
