"Restarting" a Cooldown

Quick question. Is it possible to make an ability restart cooling down from a certain mark or from the beginning?

Theres the trigger function Unit - Reset ability cooldowns, but that resets all the units abilities. What do you want to do exactly?

No that trigger makes it so the ability is able to be cast again, i need a trigger that makes it so the person has to wait for the ability to cooldown again, i can't find one that does anything like this.

I dunno if there is a way, but there are ways around. You could remove the spell and give the unit a dummy spell that looks the same but does nothing. (Optional) And when the spell is cast you could make it so that the game displays the text "Spell is not ready" to the player.
Just a suggestion.
Hope this helps.

Ouch, you just had to suggest that one huh? That would work, it's just that for 50+ abilities and some the have different cooldowns per level (For 10+ Levels :P) that's just a bit much work. lol anyway i guess i can live without it since ive just checked every trigger I can think of and there doesn't seem to be a way, like u said.

PS. Unless someone here knows how to do it in jass since anything seems to be possible in there ^_^
