Uh,okay what is your problem?

I already told you, you can put it either where you start your ability or when you end your ability (both in your ability class). There is no correct place to put a cooldown as it all depends on your usage of the ability and what is going to do.

My ability is just left clicking,shooting particles and exploding.So i need help about adding cooldown to this ability.

 

[jedk1]

Then add the cooldown where you fire the ability....

 

[boybuscuss]

You mean particle or playerevent ?

 

[jedk1]

no. i mean at the point of which you start the ability. add a cooldown.

 

[boybuscuss]

Uhm,you know im a rookie and dont know where to add,dont know where the abilty "starts".

 

[boybuscuss]

I just looked through finn's project korra API blast episode 2,i just did everything exactly with the video,ability runs perfectly BUT doesnt have a cooldown and i dont know where to add,and dont know where the ability starts.

 

[jedk1]

If you dont know where the ability starts, get a better understanding of java, then it will become clear.

 

[boybuscuss]

But i just wanna add a cooldown :c

 

[jedk1]

Ive told you how. If you dont understand what ive said so far, then get a better understanding of java and how it all works. You are gonna need that knowledge anyway if you plan on going big with addons.

 

[boybuscuss]

i just need for this ability,after this im gonna learn about java.But i promise my players that im gonna add new ability for them.Just please.I need to learn how to add a cooldown,yes i loved coding,so i must learn java.And yes i love this forum's community.So i think i must add a addon ability or help players about that.I really LOVE this forum.

 

[jedk1]

ive told you how and where to add it.

 

[boybuscuss]

Can you please repeat it again ? I mean with file names.

 

[boybuscuss]

Lets name this ability "yayy" my files are
yayy.jar
yayyinfo.jar
yayymanager.jar
yayylistener.jar

First of all,which file the ability starts ?
