Knock Shot, Lightning Strike, Electron Shock, Lightning Storm, Storm Hammer..... are spells in my map ;)
Help me plz :(
 
MUI: save information in the units custom value indicating whether the spell is on cooldown or not (set it to 1 after the ability triggered, run a wait, set it to 0 at the end of the wait). Also add a integer condition to only cast the ability when the custom value of the casting unit is 0. NOTE: use a local variable to refer to the casting unit after the wait

MPI: use a boolean that indicates whether the spell is on cooldown or not (set it to true after the ability triggered, run a wait, set it to false at the end of the wait). Also add a boolean condition to only cast the ability when this boolean is false.
 
If i put
Trigger:
  • Then - Actions
    • A
    • B
    • C
    • D
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning AACaster
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger) <-
    • Wait 1.00 seconds <-
    • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger) <-


So, the skill will has cooldown, and it dont has any bug ?
 
but it would only work with a single unit. as soon as there are at least 2 units with that spell it won't work.
 
> MUI: save information in the units custom value...

Just add the Triggering unit into a Unit Group, and remove Triggering unit from the group few seconds later. In the primary condition, add a Boolean check to see if the Triggering unit is not in the unit group. I guess this will be simpler.


Then again, no matter how I see this, I can't in any way possible relate this to Passive Skill Cooldown....
 
My impression was that its some kind of passive double-cast ability.
unit group, hash table, custom values, whatever works. well i guess custom value always could cause problems when you also use them in some other way.

I'm not sure if I'm right, but you can also use a hashtable for this, isn't it? (I'm kinda new with hashtables)

yeah i already mentioned that in my post earlier. well in my opinion custom values are the easiest solution.

Various indexing systems use Custom Values to index/deindex units. Thus, Custom Value isn't really the best solution.

i never said its the best. i also mentioned that custom values can easily cause problems when they are already used in other triggers. i simply meant that in my opinion custom values are the user-friendliest to use in terms of difficulty.

well i guess his question was more than answered so lets stop here - it almost sounds like people bitching at each other already.
 
You will want to avoid turning on and off the trigger.

It would be alot easier to suggest solutions if we knew how many units would be using the ability.

It will most probably be MUI in which use a Hashtable or Custom Values as mentioned above.
However I do forsee a problem with using Custom Values in this case, you have quite a handful of abilities there and if you use Custom Values they would have a shared cooldown.

Also another quick comment on making your trigger more efficient, you could just make one IF/ELSE with many conditions and creating the units but then changing the cast order and added ability depending on ability cast. That would make your code abit shorter. Just a thought.

    We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
  • Varine Varine:
    We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.

  • Varine Varine:
    But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born

    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.

    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.

    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.

    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.

    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.
