I want the skill to work accurately like Amulet of Spell Shield. So we have ability:

When enemy uses negative ability on unit with Spell Absorption, then it blocks it and show cooldown on ability:

question.. is something not working with a Dummy Ability?
lets say 0 Sec Cooldown... and if you detect damage per a Damage engine it set the damage amount to 0 and then per trigger set the cooldown of the Dummy Ability.. and you can also have a conditon for the damage amout to 0 to check before if the spell is not cooldown then do damage amount to 0 (Absorb) if damage is on cooldown it does not (Absorb)

Hello if i understand you right all you need is to copy Spell Shield (Amulet) ability and uncheck attribute in Data "Stats - Item Ability = False" then just add it to your unit and it should work.

then in units data just add it to Unit

Passive Dummy Ability with Cooldown, sorry but I don't know how to make it. Can you maybe explain it?

It won't be passive ? How do u want it to behave exactly ?

 

[KPC]

You are still able to click on it to activate and this action does not make any sense.

Ok then, are u making your map via GUI Triggers or code ?

Triggers

 

[Beckx]

Ok this is only solution that seems working for GUI Triggers

Best way would be to implement custom UI and make your own cooldown system limitations like this wouldn't be problem anymore... but since World Editor data doesnt support passive cooldowns the only way to solve it is to declare 2 abilities in data, one passive one active and hiding / showing it on use / cooldown expire.
