1. There is an option to make a requirement check for proximity to a particular entity (e.g., a forward assembly). However, when I tried it, the check seemed to completely ignore whether the assembly has been fully constructed or not

Another question again related to my confusion with abilities. I'd like you all to think back to when the British Advanced Emplacements Commander was first introduced. Back then if one was to turn on the counter battery ability it would remain on unless you turned it off. So ability_bag / activation = toggle. BUT if you did disengage the ability for counter battery then there would be a cool-down before you could toggle it on once more. Again, how? I can't quite figure this out.

The problem with using an always_on type is that it seems impossible to place the ability into a buildings UI in that mode. I need to be able to have the visual cue there in the building of how long is left in the recharge time.

Another problem is with interval_action. Using this will override the visual cool-down effect on the UI.

I'm pretty sure to maintain the UI effects needed here it needs to stay on type = timed. I had been browsing through the action_list to see if there's something that resembles auto triggering but nothing is jumping out at me.
