Stop spells from using same cooldown?

[Faestus]

Is there a way to stop the spells from using the same cooldown?

For example, if you have 2 spells based of the same ability, and want to cast one without the other one going on cooldown. Is it possible?

 

[Nichilus]

I don't think so, as the game will probably not know which ability has been cast due to spell ID collision.

 

[Rheiko]

it's not possible as nichilus said, unless you could change the spell ID
channel for example

Arrow controls via abilities.

Arrow controls via abilities.

Well, then you can just base your abilities on channel and assign them different order IDs in object editor.

Also note, that arrow controls are bound to be slow in multiplayer, due to network lags.

Can't you use the arrow keys directly?

Good point, that should actually be doable(even though the network lag is still there)

How? You can't assign arrows to abilities...

It is possible, the first one add it on hero and the other one , you put it in the spell book and add this spell book on hero.

 

[chobibo]

Could you explain what you are doing exactly, I don't understand exactly with the vague description you provided.

 

[nhocklanhox6]

Okay: 2 ability (Same Rawcode), the first one, you add it on the hero you want to use that ability, and the other one, you put it on the spell book, then you add this spell book to that hero

There is a trigger event for when an arrow is pressed.

I've tried this approach, it doesn't work.
Although a similar approach with items instead of spellbooks would work.

They arrows work fine... Except they move the camera. Any way to stop that?

You can lock the camera target to a unit.

actually, I discovered a way to avoid spell collision [which makes both spell go to cooling down but only one takes effect] but there's another issue : it will causes both spell to take effect and got into cooling down state.

Setting the casting point and backswing to 0 will do.
This is because when you order the unit to cast an ability, then the game goes through a list of all abilities that match the criteria(order ID) and tries to cast them.
This is what the collisions are about and so far I've not seen a way to fix it. Items don't have those collisions though.

 

[Daffa]

yes, that's the problem.
