Reseting Abilities of Towers

This is a ROC map and must stay so.

How would I get my tower to reset its abilities after being used?

What I am trying to do is put the ability, Finger of Death on a tower, but be able to use it with no cooldown. I have another Variable set up to have the tower blow up after 5 casts but i need it to be able to be cast repeated if needed, w/o waitin the 10 or 15 sec cooldown on the ability itself.

Again this must remain in ROC editor.

Put the cooldown for Finger of Death to 0! :eek:

If another unit on the map already has it, and should have a cooldown on it, I still recommend making a copy of the Finger of Death skill with 0 cooldown. Doesn't need to use the Trigger editor for that! :thup:

i did make that pretty clear.... changing any ability automatically defaults the map to tft..... I would really appreciate it if you would read in full b4 posting, thnx.

it doesnt. changing the cooldown of an ability does not make the map a tft map. that was possible in RoC as well.
it does however make it a "not-melee" map.

Then please feel free to just make a map, change it, and send me the map so I can just copy/paste it, because touching ANY ability, even copy/pasting an ability, if there is ANYTHING in my Custom Abilities, it requires TFT. I have tried hundreds of times. Also, is there maybe a different version of map editor? where these are working and mines just an old version? cuz I JUST tried to change the CD on a ability, and the fuckin error message, this now requires TFT poped right up.

Thoughts?

*Edit* I just made a new map, went straight to just abilities tab, and just changed the CD on Finger of Death from 15 sec to 0sec, and attemptd to save, instantly got the requires expo error. So im not sure if its my version or what, I have version 1.24e.

You have to edit the abilities through some text file you get by using some special mpq extractor to access the map's files... that's generally how you work with RoC maps (not in the editor). Lord knows which files to edit and how to do it, there's probably some old tutorial hidden away somewhere on the net.

I remember that's how Eul did DOTA back in the day with so many custom abilities and heroes in a RoC map.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
