Hi,
I have noted, that somes skills takes a little "time" betwen the order (you click the button or press the hotkey) and the moment the skills executes its effect. During this time the button of the skill stays with a glow in the border, but not in cold down.
Other skills, like windwalk, start imediatly once you press the botton.
Even the skill "Channel" has this little delay on cast.
Is just like 0.2 sec, but in some skills it makes a big difference.
So does some one knows how can i fix this??

Thanks in advance.

You mind, that there is an option on the Unit itself, and does not deppend on the skill configuration??
Can you tell me near what other options "Cast - Backswing timer" is, because my WE is in spanish and i do not know how to translate it?:p

In my OE, if you select the Peasant it is number 5 from the top, under the name Art - Animation - Cast Backswing.

I think i founded it. in spanish is "Animacion Punto de Retroceso" lets see what happes.
Any way, i tryied with another skill in the same unit,
I was testing with an ability based on "Battle Roar", then i added to the same unit an ability based on "Wind Walk" and the "casting time" dissaperas with that skill. I mind, with battle roar the units takes its time, but with Wind Walk the cast is instant. I dont know why..

windwalk doesnt interupt order strings, thats why... i dont even know that it has its own cast string, no string, no order, no continued cast

Sorry for the bump, but it does not work. I have setted the Cast - Backswing timer to 0.01 and still takes its time to cast the spells.
Any way i have changed the skill and based it on wind walk for now.

you can base it off channel with no order string...
you need the backswing timer to be 0.00 and the cast time (in the ability part of the object editor) to be 0.00 as well

The BackSwing is for the normal attack, i just discovered it in another thread.
I have used the skill channel with no order string and the cast time setted to 0 and still the same. :p

    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
