I need to find a way to deal area damage based on a passive ability.
so... what i have so far.... unit cast blink to a point then i have

Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 500.00 at TempPoint, dealing (10.00 x 1.00) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

what i want
dealing damage using arithmetic: 10 x level of this ability for casting unit

problem is arithmetic will only allow me to use real variables not integer.... so how to do this?

ok found the action it was under conversion

how ever i dont know how it should look exactly...

Set RakshirIntiger = (Level of Power (Tal'darim High Lord) for (Casting unit))
Set RakshirReal = (Real((Level of Power (Tal'darim High Lord) for (Casting unit))))

do i need both of these or just the second one?

Setting variables depends on what you're doing ... if you're going to be using it more than once, then yes, set them :)

If you only use it once, it might not be worth setting up a variable (unless it's simply for legibility).

If you don't use it at all, don't bother :)

Cheers!

I have a blink ability that deals damage to all units in the area targeted. the damage is based on the level of the casting units ability "power" so its unit finishes casting ability then pick all units in 600 area and deal damage = to 10 x level of casting units power ability.

Code: 
Brink Damage
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Brink (Tal'darim Highlord)
    Actions
        Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Set RakshirIntiger = (Level of Power (Tal'darim High Lord) for (Casting unit))
        Set RakshirReal = (Real((Level of Power (Tal'darim High Lord) for (Casting unit))))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 700.00 of TempPoint matching (((Owner of (Picked unit)) is in (All enemies of (Owner of (Casting unit)))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (10.00 x RakshirReal) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Lightning
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

is this right? i doesn't work what am i missing??

FOUND IT...

not sure why but the problem was with unit finishes casting ability event....

it needed to be starts to cast.... not sure why... i had another trigger for the same ability that works just fine with finishes casting... well what ever this is better than that.

This works!! blink ability that does area damage!
Code: 
Brink Damage
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Brink (Tal'darim Highlord)
    Actions
        Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Set RakshirReal = (Real((Level of Power (Tal'darim High Lord) for (Casting unit))))
        Set RakshirIntiger = (Level of Power (Tal'darim High Lord) for (Casting unit))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 700.00 of TempPoint) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (10.00 x RakshirReal) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Lightning
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

You should use "Starts the effect of an ability".
The problem with "Finishes Casting an Ability" is that by the time the ability has finished casting the (Target point of ability being cast) doesnt exist anymore. The ability is over. There is no target point. That is why your previous trigger didnt work the way you wanted it to. It probably dealt damage to units around the center of the map because that is the default location if a point does not exist.

    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
