Summary

Hey y'all, I have a skill that has the user do their normal attack more than once. I have it so there's a cooldown after using it, but for some reason, the cooldown's not working, and the character can just use that skill again immediately. I've tried it using the notetags and Action Sequences, but the skill won't proc the cooldown. { "lightbox_close": "Close",

end

wait for movement
