UnitResetCooldown native, what does it do?

[morganxl]

native UnitResetCooldown            takes unit whichUnit returns nothing

Does it reset cooldowns on all abilities or something?
Or is it related to attack cooldown?

 

[Bannar]

It resets all the abilities cooldowns for given unit/units.
Works pretty much like removing/adding abilities manually - but that method you can use for choosing which abilities cooldown should be reseted, because function UnitResetCooldown clears cooldowns for all abilities.

Is there possible to reset just one cooldown instead of all?

 

[Bannar]

@Aeroblyctos Look my prevoius post, second method (Remove + Add ability) can solve that problem.

• reset one spell
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove <yourability> from unit
    • Unit - Add <yourability> to unit

Ofcourse you can use Ability variable to help you manupulate that process or use 'Ability being cast' to reset cooldown of triggering ability.
If you want to work with rawdata, then custom scripts are usefull for you, providing sligty more efficient way.

Oh yea, oh yea.

But what about hero abilities? Doesn't it bug when removing/adding back?

 

[Bannar]

Just store lovel of given ability and then remove/add it followed by setting it's level immidiately.

• Set i = (Level of ability for unit)
• Unit - Remove ability from unit
• Unit - Add ability to unit
• Unit - Set level of ability for unit to i

It may reset the cooldown by just enabling/disabling it for the owning player. I'll look into this later because it'd be a lot smoother than adding/removing the ability (when there are levels to consider)

 

[Maker]

Adding/removing resets cooldown, disabling/enabling does not.

 

[Bribe]

Alright, then if it's a leveled ability the user must make sure to keep the same ability level.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

And what about if the hero abilities are based on Tinker's Engineering Upgrade?

 

[Bannar]

Heh Bribe =) I wouldn't post something without testing it earlier. Disabling/enabling abilities for cooldowns is usually used to trigger passives cooldown (mixed with spelll shield).

@Aeroblyctos If I'm not mistaken for Tinker's upgrade you still have to create additional ability, thus there is no difference.
If I'm wrong, since I don't have editor around meaby you will have to check the level of this upgrade too for proper triggering. Anyways, I'll solve this after I get back to editor.

I let people know when I'm not sure. It's important to share ideas, tested or untested,
because that's where creativity comes from.

Frazes like that one makes me ensures me even more that you are one of the most responsible moderator on this forum.

Checked it, and Eginner upgrade still does nothing to be honest - you have to create new abilities anyway + action is in intant speed so there are no worries that it will bug.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay, great Spinnaker. Later I'll probably use that cooldown reset thing.

Thanks for the information!
