Hey ,

I was wondering if there was any way to modify ability cooldowns after the ability goes on cooldown.
The use case for this being, reducing cooldowns as a reward for certain actions being taken, like scoring additional hits on the enemy.
I see that on the ability you can override the CalculateCooldown function but as far as I can tell that’s only called when the ability is activated

Correct, it’s currently cached for performance sake. I can add an option to always recalculate it in the next update. That’s an easy, simple add.

I’m working on a gravity well ability and need to reference the ability’s owner and the targets picked up by the collision query in the ability’s blueprint. I’m trying this method, but I’m not getting any results.

I’m not sure your Attract Custom Event will work given that its trying to reference a parameter passed in by the OnAbilityStart which isn’t going to be valid since its not coming from the OnAbilityStart call. If you use the Custom Event Task, it passes in the context.
