If it isn't a passive ability you don't have to (can't ) trigger it, just look in the object manager under abilities for your spell.
Nearly every spell has a cooldown^^

If it is passive then try to add a condition, for example if a boolean is true for a unit/player/whatever, depends on what you want^^

This is my trigger it is not passive

• Ability
  • Event
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Ability
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Casting unit) whit a Footman using the new unit's max life and mana
    • Set U(1) = (Last replaced unit)
    • Selection - Select U(1) for (Owner of U(1))
    • Unit - Add a 135.00 second Generic expiration time to U(1)
    • Wait 136.00 seconds
    • Unit - Replace U(1) whit a Blademaster using the new unit's max life and mana
    • Selection - Select (Last replaced unit) for (Owner of (Last replaced unit))
    • Hero - Learn skill for (Last replaced unit): Ability

But the skill "Ability" he learns has no cooldown and if i dont add Hero - learn skill the player needs to add it again

Neven mind i found a way
Player disable ability
Wait XX
Player enableability

^ The other way you found might not be MUI or even MPI unless you use arrays.
MUI -> Multi-unit instance-able -> Meaning many units can use it at the same time.
MPI -> Multi-player instance-able -> Meaning ONE unit of each player can use it at the same time.

Though...your ability trigger isn't MUI or MPI either.

Moridin please explain...arrays?

"Set U(2) = Last replaced unit after the replace(from FM to BM)"
And change Last replaced unit whit U(2)...or?

First problem:

Assuming you're removing a Blademaster and replacing it with a footman...

First, the Blademaster you're removing isn't the same as the one you're creating. It's not wierd that they don't have the same cooldowns and hero skills.

Solution:

Save the Blademaster in a unit variable, hide the unit, and when the durarition expires, unhide him.

2nd problem:

You're using ''A unit Begins casting an ability''.
By the time your trigger activates, the cooldown won't have activated.
Instead of using ''A unit Begins casting an ability'', use ''A unit starts the effect of an ability'', because when that event fires, the cooldown has started (Do however note that manacost hasn't, so if your Blademaster comes back with the same amount of mana, then forcibly set his mana to (Current Mana - Mana of the spell being cast) before hiding him).
