Help with cooldown mechanic

[CommanderGOAT]

I need help with making a cooldown for an ability in my map. I wrote this because every guide I’ve visited doesn’t have any pictures. Pls help and send pictures.

is it an overlay?

@Sethegreatgod1 NO G@ME C0DES!!! (flagged)

[CommanderGOAT]

Yeah I have an ability built. Do you need to know it? If so, I have an ability to grant health and to teleport.

[magic_iain]

is it an overlay?

[The_Pro_Of_Pixels]

Alr I can’t gets pics rn thanks!

[CommanderGOAT]

Yes it’s an overlay.

[The_Pro_Of_Pixels]

You can try what told you up above

[magic_iain]

stuff needed:

• trigger (looks like this)
  
  
• game overlay (the ability) (looks like this)

first click the trigger
scroll to where it says ‘delay’ and set it to the cool down time. (I used 5 secs)

next click out of that and wire the game overlay to the trigger.
this is what the wire settings should be:

next click on the trigger and where it says ‘when triggered transmit on’ put “activate overlay”.

now click on the game overlay and do this:

.
halfway there!
next make another trigger

wire the overlay to the new trigger like this:

and finally wire the trigger to the overlay like this:

now you should have a working cool down system!

[magic_iain]

also sorry it took me so long…
the @dhd part of my brain started working lol

[CommanderGOAT]

I didn’t work. I have no idea why.

[The_Pro_Of_Pixels]

You might have wired or channeled it wrong?

[Splatter]

can’t you just use triggers set to player scope with a delay for cooldown to activate a game overlay button then when it’s clicked the process restarts?

[CommanderGOAT]

Can you show some pictures for that?

Ability with cooldown [for beginners] ( or 0/10)

before I start, I’ll tell people who are about to send me a bunch of guides on creating ability recharges, I’ll say this, I’ve reviewed all the guides on this topic and haven’t seen any similar methods to my mechanism, so my mechanism will be different compared to others. and it will also be for GKM beginners. WARNING in this guide I will use, just a second, let me pronounce this word. Repe… Repea… Repeater and not because I can’t use Trigger instead of Re…

MY GUIDE NOO

although I see that people are helping you, if you don’t understand something, then you know that I will manage to restore this guide and it may help you (this may take up to 2 weeks because I’m lazy).

this is not considered an off-topic, is it?

[Splatter]

here’s one I made forever ago but it works
go from bottom to top
sorry i’m not that well at explaining stuff but hopefully this helps
of course the scope is player for all 3 of them

[magic_iain]

did you copy the trigger?
because it worked for me

[CommanderGOAT]

Oh. I forgot to do that.

[CommanderGOAT]

Hmm… Still doesn’t work. Any other ideas everyone?
Edit: Okay @magic_iain I’m just going to try your solution again tonight.
