Autocast blink

Hi everybody,


the autocast of the blink ability is what I try to accomplish for weeks now. But still cannot figure how to do it. I know this has to be done without the Autocast functions at the ability itself. Therefore I know to make a damage respons behaviour with a create persistant with an issue order effect that is ordering to cast the ability. After that I have to trigger the autocast functions to deactivate and activate the buff (so it looks like autocasting).

Further I just cannot accomplish it, I really dont know which parameters I have to modify to get what I want. I hope someone can get me through this, because I'm now stuck with this thing for weeks now.

I want the stalker to autocast the blink behind him (away from the enemy) when the stalker takes damage.

Thanks in advance!


Greetings,

Maarten

You could probably do it with data in some fancy way with some offsets and stuff. That might be a very good exercise.

However, it will probably be much easier to do with triggers.

Something like:
Trigger:
  • Blink Autocast
    • Events:
      • Unit takes damage
    • Conditions:
      • (Unit type of (Triggering Unit)) == Stalker
      • ((Triggering Unit)'s Shield (Current) <= 10
    • Actions:
      • Unit - Issue Blink order to ((Position of (Triggering Unit) offset by 2 towards ((Facing of (Triggering Unit) + 180.0)

Sometimes some things can be so simple -.-'.

I made the following trigger (see image). For some reason they are blinking always to the south, no matter from what angle they r attacking. U have any idea what isn't right? As far as I know is this what it suppose to be.

It is because you have set the angle to 180 degrees. Try changing this value to (Facing of Triggering Unit) + 180

In addition to what Dave said, it seems like you're using the wrong function and towards a point instead of towards a direction. Make sure the point function is called Point with polar offset.

Omg, this is really driving me crazy. For some reason I have the same action you discribe, but there isnt any parameter that alows me to add '+180' .. Instead of '+180' it says 'degrees' whereby I can fill in any parameter. Look at the attach image please for what I'm stil doing wrong. Pfff, I'm so glad when this is solved..

Select the Angle Parameter and change it to Arithmetic (under the math section). Then for the first value, set it to Facing Angle of (Triggering Unit), set the operator to + and second value to 180

    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
