Show an ability cooldown clock that does not jump when speed-ups change

The little clock on a skill button is easy until a power-up makes cooldowns faster halfway through: then the clock jumps, the skill becomes ready too early, or the timer shows a wrong number of seconds. Here is a way to count that stays right.

Why this works

What the clock should show is how far along the wait is, not how many seconds are left, because speed-ups change the seconds but not the progress. Tracking the share done means a bonus starting or ending changes only the pace, and the display never jumps.

When not to use it

Don't use it for abilities that charge from what the player does, such as hits landed or damage taken, or for those with a fixed cooldown the player must be able to count. Show the number of charges, or a fixed countdown, there.
