Firing Cooldown Problem

[Magoiche]

Well i made a dummy spell base on summon war eagle.
I trigger enhanced it.
But when i use the spell it cooldowns don't fire
I tried with thunder clap and everything that is non targetable =X

Why it's cooldown don't fire?
Something in object editor?

 

[Flare]

are you using correct spell event?

 

[Magoiche]

spell event?
Mean the triggers?
(Sry i am from brazil and don't understand everything xD)

 

[131ackout]

How come that everyone is from different countries?

Anyway, what do you mean? Didn't understand, please explain more.

Or, you meant a spell to fire while its cooldown?

 

[Magoiche]

no.

When i use the spell the cooldown don't fire.
But it's set to 40 =X

 

[Malkier]

post the trigger.. it is very difficult to know what is wrong with something you can't see :banghead: if someone wants to know what is wrong with their trigger they should post it straight away imo

 

[Flare]

Is the cooldown correct at all levels?

If so, post the trigger as Malkier said, there isn't much we can do to help otherwise :\

 

[Magoiche]

i dind't post it because i don't know where is the problem...
I thought it is in the object editor but don't.

Yup, spell event is the problem. Change it to Starts the Effect of an Ability. You are running a trigger when the first trigger fires (second trigger is issuing a stop order, and begins casting an ability occurs during the animation before the spell actually starts).

The lesson:
Don't use Begins Casting an Ability -UNLESS- you want to prevent the unit from casting (if you have a triggered mana cost, for example). Begins casting an ability is unreliable since if you get the timing right, you can issue a stop order, and have no cooldown/mana wasted

 

[131ackout]

you meant the cooldown set to 0, no cooldown?

if so, just set the cooldown to 0. If didnt work, set the cooldown to 0.10, something like that, i think.

EDIT: Nvm that, I think Flare's idea might work.

 

[Magoiche]

i set it to effect of an ability but it wont fires

 

[Malkier]

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

change this to Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability.

 

[Flare]

Unit - Order S_Caster to Stop

Remove that action from S Projectile Creation

 

[Magoiche]

Well.... Worked!!!
Thanks Flare =D
