problem with "counter" spell

[Shaggi]

Is there a way to force a skill to start it's cooldown?

i.e. I cast SpellBreak, a skill that put a buff on me for 5 seconds. While I have the buff, an enemy cast a spell. I want to be able to cancel the casting and put the skill in cooldown

You could add a root ability that does no damage or has any effect, give it to the unit you want to disable, and cast it. That way it'll trigger the ability's cooldown but do nothing else.

^RoarMan: wouldn't that trigger the custom spell as well?

use that item ability that "counters" a targeted spell.

its easy to trigger it from a passive to a debuff
