Well, yes, once you replaced it, there is no "triggering unit" anymore.
Though, you do have a "last replaced unit".

Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a Child using The new unit's default

please help!

You've already replaced triggering unit with the flying child. So its not there anymore. You cant replace it.
You could replace (last replaced unit). Or set the unit to a variable and replace that.

Edit: same time Ace

That worked fine but now theres another problem...

As the child is replaced the second time the cooldown dissapairs and he can cast "jump" again and go on and on.

Any solutions?

 

[Romek]

O, first time a question has been asked to make an ability have cooldown.
You could base an ability off the jump and make it do NOTHING. Then order the unit to cast it.
Then remove the ability.
It'll start the cooldown. although it might make the child cast jump :S

 

[KvickaN]

that will make the child jump ^^

but hm...

Maybe a "Run trigger" and do it in another trigger?

heck ill try that thanks

Edit: Thought I knew what you were talking about but I don't... lol!

There is the current one!

Unit - Reset ability cooldowns for (Triggering unit)

Isn't there an opposite to that trigger? xD

Instead of replacing the unit, you could hide the triggering unit and create the Flying Child dummy there. After 5 secs, remove the dummy and unhide the triggering unit and move the triggering unit instantly to position of dummy unit. The cooldown will be retained this way.

Destroy the special effect right after it is created. It might not work if it is destroyed after the 'wait'. If you really want to destroy after the wait then set the effect as an variable.

if another unit is created at the same time it would use that unit, so use a variable
and then
