What do you mean with cooldown, if you want the ability to have cooldown, you just have to modify your lightning slash ability. If you want the different "slashes" to be clearly visible, use a longer wait between them, 0.04 sec is almost not visible.

also in addition to Sirroelivan's reply, use a loop instead of having waits

 

[dannyboydude]

can i ask how do you make spells last longer by using loops?

i dont even think a loop waits? does it?

and ive heard about not putting waits in a loop why?

 

[troylowyee]

I modified already but i still does not work thats why i find it weird!

Maybe set the Data - Cooldown to 45.00??

Try adding the little wait there.

Events
 Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
 (Ability being cast) Equal to Lightning Slash
Actions
 Set LS_Caster = (Triggering unit)
 Set LS_CasterLoc = (Position of LS_Caster)
 Set LS_Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
 [B]Wait 0.00 seconds[/B] <-- [I]Add this[/I]
 Set LS_TargetLoc = (Position of LS_Target)
 Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Orc\LightningBolt\LightningBoltMissile.mdl
 Set LightningSlashSE = (Last created special effect)
 ----etc etc----

The cooldown was affected because you moved the unit instantly. Else, try using another ability instead of the ability you're basing off now (Don't use Chain Lightning?).

Waits work in integer loops but not Unit Group or Player Group.
