Dreams PS4 | Ability Cooldown | Ability Guide/Tutorial

Support ya boi on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/meanlad Ooooh! Greetings friends. One of the essential parts of balancing any game is giving your abilities cooldowns. In this video I show you how to take one of your already existing abilities and add a cooldown to it in dreams PS4. Cooldowns are essential for a number of reasons and resolve a bunch of common issues you face when making abilities. In this video I show you how to do the following: 1. Prevent your abilities from being spammable/mashable. By using a trick I learned from NeonTheCoder, I show you how to make an ability that won't be interrupted until it is complete even if you press the key bound to it a bunch of times. 01:20 2. How to add a cooldown using a timer. 03:47 3. How to represent a cooldown it in a visual format. I learnt this by watching a video by MrWooshie and by experimenting/banging my head against a wall. 05:33 I'm going to be doing a part 2 where I go into a bit more depth showing you how to add a number displayer countdown on your cooldown bar. As well as adding a READY text that appears on your cooldown bar when your ability can be used again. This is the first of my more complicated videos, but I take it slow and explain as much as I can. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to answer them! I hope it's enjoyable but most of all helpful. Here are links to some of the videos that helped me.
