TFS 1.X+ Spell cooldown not working on monsters TFS 1.5 772 downgrade

[jakub742]

Hi, do you know how to add cooldown on spell so it would work for monsters aswell ?

i have a monster revscript, example attacks:

monster.attacks = {
    {name ="melee", interval = 1500, chance = 80, minDamage = -2100, maxDamage = -3000},
    {name ="firestorm", cooldown = 9000, interval = 2000, chance = 60, minDamage = -2830, maxDamage = -5720},
}

It has 2000 interval and 60 chance but when its casted i expected to be in cooldown that is set on spell:cooldown

But the cooldown is ignored in this case with monster. Monster can spam it more often than spell:cooldown(9000)

Spell script:

local spell = Spell(SPELL_INSTANT)
spell:name("firestorm")
spell:cooldown(9000)

function spell.onCastSpell(creature, variant, isHotkey)
    return combat:execute(creature, variant)
end

spell:register()

Any other workaround that i could use for that ?

give him less chance.

give him less chance.

not a solution. more interested in resolving this or to know why the spell:cooldown() is not applied or if im using it wrong

Yeah I don't think cooldown works for monsters.

But you could force a cooldown.. using storages.

put this in global.lua

MONSTER_STORAGE = MONSTER_STORAGE or {}

function Monster.setStorageValue(self, key, value)
    local cid = self:getId()
    local storageMap = MONSTER_STORAGE[cid]
    if not storageMap then
        MONSTER_STORAGE[cid] = {[key] = value}
    else
        storageMap[key] = value
    end
end

function Monster.getStorageValue(self, key)
    local storageMap = MONSTER_STORAGE[self:getId()]
    if storageMap then
        return storageMap[key] or -1
    end
    return -1
end

example

monster:setStorageValue(29937, 1)
print(monster:getStorageValue(22937)) -- 1

then inside the spell, just give it the current os.mtime() , then whenever the monster attempts to cast again, check if enough time has passed.
If not enough time, then cancel the spell activation.

local cooldown = 9000

function spell.onCastSpell(creature, variant, isHotkey)
    if creature:isMonster() then
        local currentTime = os.mtime()
        if creature:getStorageValue(11111) + cooldown > currentTime then
            return false
        end
        creature:setStorageValue(11111, currentTime)
    end
    return combat:execute(creature, variant)
end
