Hey; I've got an issue that I can't seem to figure out. I'm trying to change the cooldown on the spawn locusts abilities of swarm hosts.However whenever I change the value from its stock value (which in this case is 25) nothing happens in game when I test the document. Its really frustrating as I've searched google and found many tutorials and guides on adjusting the cooldown and I'll do exactly as they say and it still does not work.
I've changed the (Basic) Cost: Cost - Cooldown - Time Use value from 25 to 0 (or any other value for that matter) and it doesn't do a thing. Not to mention that the default value in game is 60 seconds not even 25, so I was first suspicious that this isn't the proper field, but after much searching I could not find any more information.
you are not using the MP swarm host. check the unit you are using and select its abilities. i tested it with mp swarmhost and the casting time is 25 seconds. changing cooldown works too
Where are the MP swarm hosts? I can only find the regular swarm host
Edit: I found an ability named Void - Swarm Hosts Spawn Locusts, and that had a cooldown of 60. Even after editing that value to 0 the cooldown still remains at 60. I've loaded a new map and tried the samething on both abilities and still no fix. Could it be something else?
EDIT: I found a solution, after changing my dependencies to include Void Mod (Multi), the ability "Swarm Hosts - Spawn Locusts Targeted" appeared in the database. Editing the values in this field fixed the issues.
I have looked through the entire list of units (individually) in the editor and can only find one instance of swarm hosts. Which is just Swarm Hosts. I have searched multiple times for MP Swarm Hosts or Swarm Hosts MP and cannot find anything. I'm using Void (Mod) as my dependency.
Its frustrating because changes on other units in the same fashion, such as if I change the cooldown on zealot charge, it works. Even on swarm hosts, if I change their hitpoints, etc... (values on the unit itself), it works. But changing the Swarm Host - Spawn Locust ability, the one that is linked under Abilities, it has no effect on anything in game. You could be right in the fact that I'm using the wrong unit, but everything else is working, such as the new health values and mineral cost, its just that one ability does not persist into gameplay.

Here is a screencap of the editor just for reference. http://i.imgur.com/1jnUF4l.png?1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
