More details. What does warp back means?

Its like a duel only with teams? Who wins the duel gets xp and gold and all heroes are teleported back to base?

The game restarts? A spell that warps units back in time?

WARP has a lot of meanings. Explain yours

first of all, your triggers leak like hell.

back to topic:
i guess these lines:
Trigger:
  • # Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player) matching ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Stash))) and do (Actions)
    • * Loop - Actions
      • o Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Center of Team A <gen>)

i guess the problem is the conditions used for this trigger.
you check for the number of units within the unit-groups but you never remove any units from these groups as far as i see.
i think you made a mistake by thinking that dead units are removed from a unitgroup by default but they aint. the units might be dead but they are still within the unitgroup. thats why the triggers do not fire.

thanks, i fixed all the leaks
so I just have to make a new trigger with the condition "a unit dies" and then remove dying unit from the unit group?

Problem is, I can not destroy the Arena_UnitGroup[x] because it is a periodic timer but it wont cause a lot of leaks or will it?
P.S.: Is the trigger to remove dying unit correct?

do your triggers work?

why do you do this:
Trigger:
  • Trigger - Turn on Warp Back <gen>
    • Trigger - Run Warp Back <gen> (ignoring conditions)

the second action is rather useless, i doubt the duel will be over just the moment it started and ignoring the conditions aint a good method here either. just remove the second line i'd say.

and why cant you destroy the groups? of course you can

Group don't leak as long as they're used or not reassigned (Multiple instances of a function that uses udg_Group = CreateGroup())

well i am talking about this lines:

Trigger:
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Global_UnitGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set Arena_UnitGroup[1] = (Units in Arena 1 <gen> matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Random player from PlayerGroup[2])) Equal to True))
      • Set Arena_UnitGroup[2] = (Units in Arena 1 <gen> matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Random player from PlayerGroup[1])) Equal to True))


I am not able to destroy them because i still have to remove units from it

well then i guess your trigger doesnt fire at all. add some message at the very top of the trigger. this way you will know whether the event occurs and the conditions are met. thats the first thing to check.

does this one work? or do you still have problems?

Well I tested against bots, it worked how it should, now i will remove the leaks.
But I am not sure if the trigger will bug o_o because of the "if-then-else" in the "else" condition

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
