First Spell Ever?

I was sent down memory lane today, thinking of my early triggering days, when I realized how far I (And all of us spellmakers) have gotten.

So, my question to everyone here is: What was your first triggered spell? Was it flawless? Destructive? Imbalanced?

Guess I'll start it off (Big surprise):

My first one was called "Ceasefire", put on a Death Knight (For what reason, I still can't comprehend). Simply put, I think it was:

Code:
Events: Unit begins casting an ability
Conditions: (Ability being cast) Equal to (Ceasefire)
Actions: Pick all units in (Playable map area) and do (Unit -- Order (Picked unit) to Hold Position)

Which resulted in a mana deduction and the cooldown not even firing. I had to change the leveling fields to decreasing mana cost -- the only thing I could change for the spell at the time.



Spell making stories, anyone?

My first one was an arrow of silence for sylvanas windrunner, and I later realized that I needed a dummy unit with silence, instead of giving her silence to cast. It was like a autocast thing that gave it a chance to silence.

My first triggered spell simply teleported the triggering unit back to their base :p

I tried to do a grap spell for my monster crow:
the crow loses hight until almost near the ground and charges towards a selected unit. If it gets within 100 range of it the unit gets grapped by the crow. The crow flies higher and now you can move around the air with your unit and drop it later.

I actually managed to get all to work beside the grapping. I tried to use the 'if a unit comes within range of unit' event wich was a dumb idea.

It was for a spaceship game that I was making before realizing that it was retarded and no one was going to ever play it. As I recall, it was supposed to put the ship into 'hyperspeed' and make it go really fast, and since the camera was attached to your ship then it would get really blurry. But it didn't work right. I never figured out why.... Not that I looked at since then.

My first spell was based on anime fight spell Lee lotus. He flings his enemy in the air and smacks him back down.

My first spell ever was a spell that made your hero go forward all the time and you moved him with the arrow keys. But the only problem is that when you went near trees instead of showing death coil explosions on the caster it showed loads of trees xD

My first spell would have to be Rainbow Arrows, it basically made it have a random arrow shot from either Searing Arrows, Dark arrows, or Ice Arrows.

    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.

    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
