Triggered Teleport - No Cooldown.

[Foopad]

I have made my first spell, it's a teleport that knocks nearby units back. Moderators were not to fond of it due to wait... I know a wait is bad, it destroys the possibility of MUI, which I intend to add later.
The problem is, I've used Cluster Rockets as my standard ability, and I trigger a teleport to the target of ability being cast, but this does so the ability does not recieve its cooldown. What am I to do?
I could create an additional trigger with a perodic event and do a timer with variables, but that would probably be shot down due to lack of effiency.
Here's the trigger for you

• WarpStart
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Warp
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Warp for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Set KnockbackDamage = 2.50
        • Set KnockbackUnitGroup = (Units within 10.00 of (Position of KnockbackCaster) matching (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))
        • Unit Group - Add all units of (Units within 140.00 of KnockbackPoint) to KnockbackUnitGroup
        • -------- BEWARE! The damage is per 0.05 seconds, so the damage is multiplied by 40, unless you change duration --------
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Level of Warp for (Casting unit)) Equal to 2
          • Then - Actions
            • Set KnockbackUnitGroup = (Units within 20.00 of (Position of KnockbackCaster) matching (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))
            • Unit Group - Add all units of (Units within 190.00 of KnockbackPoint) to KnockbackUnitGroup
            • -------- BEWARE! The damage is per 0.05 seconds, so the damage is multiplied by 40, unless you change duration --------
            • Set KnockbackDamage = 5.00
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Level of Warp for (Casting unit)) Equal to 3
              • Then - Actions
                • Set KnockbackUnitGroup = (Units within 30.00 of (Position of KnockbackCaster) matching (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))
                • Unit Group - Add all units of (Units within 240.00 of KnockbackPoint) to KnockbackUnitGroup
                • -------- BEWARE! The damage is per 0.05 seconds, so the damage is multiplied by 40, unless you change duration --------
                • Set KnockbackDamage = 7.50
              • Else - Actions
    • Set KnockbackDistance = 5.30
    • Set KnockbackDuration = 2.00
    • Set KnockbackPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set KnockbackCaster = (Casting unit)
    • Set KnockbackUnitGroup = (Units within 400.00 of (Position of KnockbackCaster))
    • Unit Group - Add all units of (Units within 400.00 of KnockbackPoint) to KnockbackUnitGroup
    • Unit Group - Remove KnockbackCaster from KnockbackUnitGroup
    • Unit - Move KnockbackCaster instantly to (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Trigger - Turn on WarpLoop <gen>
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_KnockbackPoint)

It then runs a loop trigger, and yep I know this spell lacks effiency as it is but that's the next thing I need to look into.

How can I get him to be moved instantly and still have a cooldown?

Channel. Modify it, et voila.

 

[Foopad]

You mean I should change the spell from being a channeled type spell?
In that case how do I do that, the order string?

 

[chenlimin]

there is a spell called "channel" (it's a hero spell in neut)

 

[Foopad]

That easy , Well thanks a lot.

Instead off all the if/then/else statements use:

• Set KnockbackDamage = ( 2.50 * Level of Warp for (Casting unit) )

Yep I know ><, I was using this method to make it easier to define other stuff per level than just this one variable...

I still haven't figured out how to use the "channel" ability proper though ><, I've modified it but the hero does not have the spell when in-game, I can level it up but it does not show as an ability I can use, it's sort of hidden.

You need to hook Visible under options in the object editor in order to get the channel button ingame
