remove ability via trigger & remember cooldown

[Tigrick]

Hi people,

the problem with removing abilities via trigger is: If the spell was currently cooling down and is removed and readded, the cooldown will be reset.

I could go for tech requirements on spells to blur them out when needed. But the problem with that is that it aplies globaly.


I want a spell deactivated for a single unit; however, I want it to remember the cooldown, so ideally, the spell would be blurred out or sth...


+rep if you help me



EDIT: I would also like to know which ways there are of blurring out spell icons (other than tying a spell to an upgrade)

Player - Enable/Disable Ability
In case you wanted it MPI.

Also for blurring out, have an ability require a unit then create/remove units when needed perhaps.

You need to use the "channel" ability as a dummy ability and then trigger the effect of your ability. "Channel" has a visibility data field that allows hiding the ability. Make two levels of said ability; the first with the ability shown, the second with the ability hidden, then just increase and decrease levels to hide/show the ability.

cool, I'm gonna experiment with that. Thanks!
