CoolDown shows zero for several types of Units

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. unit->getAirWeaponCooldown() is always 0
2. unit->getGroundWeaponCooldown() is always 0
3. only happens for tank and goliath

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expect to find some non zero value when the unit is attacking.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
BWAPI 2.6.1

Please provide any additional information below.
this happens only on tank and goliath (among the units I tested). nothing 
is wrong for marine, ghost, ultralisk...
also, unit->isStartingAttack() always return false for tank and goliath.

This is most likely because tanks and goliaths have "turrets" which can attack, 
the
unit that you access as tank can't attack. You can access the turret in some 
way,
maybe something like getChild. I don't know how it is implemented but I am sure 
there
is a way.

OK...

I hope BWAPI could have more documentation. Most functions are not documented 
enough.

Why read documentation? :) Just play about and try some probably crazy 
thoughts, 
and you're there :)

well. It is interesting and exciting to try a few things. But it is boring to 
test 
EVERY function. hope BWAPI will have more documentation.

Is there some kind of getWeaponMaxCooldown, to know of often we give an attack 
move 
order ? (if too often, the unit just keep moving without attacking)
