spell cooldown problem

[oxxo]

spell cooldown seems kinda random to me.

1 is not equal to 1.
and 0 is DEFINITELY not equal to zero.

shockwave is a spell you can repeatedly cast with a speed of about
60 shockwaves per minute.

but theres spells you cant wich are supposedly just as "instant" as shockwave.
why is this?

also the green square around the spell button seems to fuckshit up quite often.

Green squares are the disabled versions of a icon. Besides the regular icon for spells, hero pictures and stuff like that, you also have disabled icons (Which you see in single player when you pause the game or open the Menu with F10). If there is no disabled icon of the same normal icon, you will get to see a complete green icon.

And I think the cooldown stuff just depends on the ability you base it on. With every ability there are stuff you can and can't change, so make sure you base your abilities on an existing ability that has most in common with what you want.

Some spells have a delay time after casting it or before casting it.

Try to make a unit cast taunt and a instant "channel", the unit who casted channel will be ready before the other unit. (TESTED INGAME)
