public bool IsSpellReady(){ return currentCooldown

For anyone who might be having troubles with the currentCooldown variable not resetting after stop play or something to do with that, simply go to ur scriptable object script and call OnEnable() and reset the currentCooldown should look like this className : ScriptableObject { ... vars ... OnEnable() { currentCooldown = 0f; } }

Thanks for the video. Maybe I missed it but what is your strategy for unique spells? I'm asking as you have counter in SO, and that would/could be shared between the player and NPCs. AFAIK you can instance ScriptableObjects but I have no idea how well that work...

[@jonatansan01]

Isn't tricky to remove spells from spellsOnCooldown while iterating over it ? All spells from the rest of the list will be shift to the left, so that the i+1th spell will not be updated that frame. This should not cause too much problem with an high framerate and few spells to update, but it could have undesired effect on some edge cases.

FYI if you click on the little drop-down button next to the padlock icon at the top right of the inspector and click 'Debug' you can view Private fields and properties in the inspector.
