Why is my channeling custom ability cooldown not working??

[gritpatrick]

So i made a custom ability based off channel and i put the cool down to 25 guess what it total ignores it and instead has 0 cool down in game.
I re looked in my triggers and i don't have a trigger that says reset cool down or anything like that. does the cool down have to be triggered too? help plzz

could you post a test map so we can take a look at the custom ability you made ? i've never experienced such thing when i make abilities based of channel..

 

[Legendary]

Okay Give me a little Time
Sorry i missunderstud the question i will try to give you the map

 

[TwoVenomous]

Okay Give me a little Time

No, I'm referring to gritpatrick....

 

[Legendary]

Ow Yeah Channels Dosen't do anything Except for You add a Buff/ability that Give the player Additional Stats

 

[gritpatrick]

k ill show u guys
just wait

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Have u set the casting time to 0? Because if u havent finished casting the spell, it wont go on cooldown.

 

[gritpatrick]

yeah casting time is zero

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Well then, we should take a look in ur map (or trigger).

 

[gritpatrick]

so u want me to upload map or trigger?

And heres my map thank you TwoVenomous for showing me how to upload a file xD

 

[TwoVenomous]

so, I finally found the cause of the problem, it's inside your trigger... when I deleted the trigger, the ability goes to cooldown after cast.

wait a moment i'm trying to find what's wrong...

 

[gritpatrick]

Oh okay ill check it out too

 

[TwoVenomous]

the problem is your trigger moves the unit instantly before the unit was able to cast the ability, therefore it will stop the ability.. because it stops the ability, they won't go into cooldown...

here, i cleaned your triggers.. feel free to ask if you have any questions...
i used a hashtable, if you had already have a hashtable on your map, use that hashtable instead.. And this is a tutorial about memory leaks Things That Leak. In your case, you're leaking points (Position of Caster, Position of Target)

and this won't work..

• Animation - Play Caster's attack slam animation

because there is no animation name like that (only attack, stand, spell, slam, etc i guess)...
so i used this custom script.

• Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(GetTriggerUnit(), 5)

GetTriggerUnit() goes to (Triggering unit), and 5 is the animation indices... i found 5 as the best animation it could get (you can change it to 1 or 2 or 3 or any number which fits the animation best)...
