Skill levels up, should decrease casting time: doesn't

[Leazy]

Hello

I got a spell which should level up all other abilities the casting unit has. Works so far. The problem is that the second level of the abilities have 0 sec casting time (the first level don't). However, it seems like the second level can only get the same casting time as the first level (if level 1 has 0 sec casting time, level 2 will also, if level 1 has 3 sec casting time, level 2 will also). The spells so far are all based on channel. Any clue on how this might be solved?

how is that ability of yours supposed to increase the levels of the other spells? is it engineering update you use? or are you doing this with a dummy ability and triggers?

This is how it's done so far:

I got a trigger. When someone uses spell X, all other spells the unit has are increased to level 2 by triggers.

• Natures Swiftness
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Nature's Swiftness
  • Actions
    • Unit - Increase level of Healing Wave for (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Remove Nature's Swiftness from (Triggering unit)

you are right, doesnt work for me either. seems to be a bug with channel. i tried many different methods to work around it, seems like you need to replace the ability itself.

 

[Leazy]

So spells based on other spells than channel works?

 

[Accname]

they should.

Cool, thanks!

Edit: Tried with Finger of Death, didn't work =\

[edit] Never mind, I misunderstood.

Here ya go! =)

Ah, I'm sorry, I misread - I thought you meant cooldown, not casting time.

 

[Leazy]

NP Is there no solution for this?

 

[Leazy]

Bump. Any way to solve this?

sry, i read your first post and yet i can't understand what do you want and your problem after the sentence "I got a spell which should level up all other abilities the casting unit has. Works so far."

i have made a lot of ability that can change the level of other ability, maybe i can help you.

can you make it more clear and specify?

Hm, okey. I got this spell, lets name it X. I also got a unit that has the ability X, lets call that unit Y. When Y uses X all spells Y has (except for X) are leveled up to level 2. The second level of all spells Y has (except for X) have a casting time at lvl 1. At lvl 2 however, they are all instant cast. The point of using X is therefor making all spells Y has (except for X) instant cast.

The issue I'm facing here is that it seems like you can't decrease casting time by leveling up an ability. This is what I need to solve.

It's a hardcoded bug, I tested it when I was working on a casting system.
I think I posted about it sometime before..

K, then know any good way to replace a unit ability with another without removing cooldown?

engineering upgrade ability of the goblin tinker.

you cant replace one ability with another this way, blizzard will never become stormbolt.
