[L4D2] Changing the cooldown Ability

I am trying to reset the cooldown of charger so although currently his ability his ready, to set it to as if he just charged and failed.

No success. How can it be done?

Create an SDK Call for CBaseAbility::StartActivationTimer. Then you use GetEntPropEnt(client, Prop_Send,"m_customAbility") to receive the ability for the player or special infected. Then do the sdkcall.

I'm sure you don't need a sdk to change that?

Attempting to change the ability_charge entity's m_nextActivationTimer's m_duration and m_timestamp netprops just seems to crash my server every time.

With the existence of Left4Dhooks this question legitimately doesn't matter.
