Need Your Opinions

1. To those who already played the Moo Moo map knows this
- In MooMoo, there is this item called Grim Batol where its ability is to reincarnate the wearer. After reincarnating the wearer, the item cooldown for 60 seconds... One trick my friend found is that when you drop the item and pick it up again, the cooldown quickly restarts... Making it abusable coz once you obtained it, you can become immortal if you just drop-and-pick it. Making 60 seconds cooldown item into 0 second cooldown

I too, made an item just like that in my map where it reincarnates the wearer. Now what happens is when I drop the item and pick it up, it also restarts the cooldown.
So I tried other reincarnation skills
I tried using the Reincarnation of Cairne in my item and what it does just removes the hero forever
I tried the Ankh skill and it didn't ressurect the hero

So my question is...
A. Should I just let it be, that once you drop and pick it its cooldown automatically restarts?
B. Should I just make the item not droppable so no one can abuse it?

2. I tried optimizing my map and I was surprised that it made my map from 1,715mb into 1,092mb... I can say my map is already finish, but since my map has a small size I wonder should I add more imports then?

So my question is...
A. Should I add more imports then
B. Be happy that my map has a small size


Thanks in advance

1 - A When you drop the item it won't restart the cooldown, unless another unit pick it up, it will only appear to restart.

B If you want to make a item with cooldown to not drop you can either trigger it or you can make it undroppable on editor itself.

2 - It is uo to you, unless you are going to update it later, you should wait till the update to import more things.

1mb isn't small... Downloading across bnet is already pretty slow, and on average, maps are about 600-800kb.

I'd say don't add anymore imports, since it'll just add to the map size and make download timers longer, which often makes people not want to play..

1) I think you should make it undroppable. If you decide to do this make sure that you give each player an item carrier or building (if possible) so that they don't have to pawn it to free up space in their inventory.

2) Not entirely sure.. but it also depends on what you want to import.

1 - Detect when the item is in cooldown, then set item states - Undroppable.
Thats what they do to item with active abilities in Dota

2 - A chinese saying goes that "Never add things to stuff that you have finished with"
Unless after some feedback, else dun add anymore things to it until you have enough feedback for it to be improved on.

Okay
I'll just add imports when it is necessary
Thanks guys


Uuum...
Can you explain further the item triggers?
I don't know how to do that kind of item triggers yet
