How to change an ability from having charges to cooldown
How to change an ability from having charges to cooldown
How would one be able to change an ability such as the technical's flame throwing from having number of charges to having a 5 turn cooldown instead?

Well, you'd have to make a mod with the SDK, since you're changing code behavior, not just changing a config setting.
This is stuff that needs to be compiled. I'd recommend looking up a tutorial(Dizzy XL touches upon this in his video tutorial for making a soldier class mod), I remember that you're going to be modifying X2Ability, you'll have to copy the existing ability and you can crossreference a cooldown ability to find out the difference in the code between them, it's fairly simple, but again, you will have to use the SDK and compile a mod.

I think it's about 9-10 minutes in when he copies the stealth(conceal) ability and changes his copy to have 4 charges instead of 1, but if you follow what he's doing and crossreference a cooldown ability it should be easy to make the change.
