Hmmm? What formula for Angle?

Hey guys! I was wondering and trying to do a arithmetic formula for this problem..

I was creating a spell based on Mirana's Arrow (the one from DOTA)
and I was making it into 3 arrows instead,. but I can't seem to find the correct angle of the 3 arrows.. xD

here is the code
Trigger:
  • Unit - Create 1 Arrow Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 100.00 towards (Facing Angle of Triggering Unit - ((Real((Integer A))) x 30.00)) degrees) facing Default building facing degrees


thanks in advance.. :)

You have to explain more what the arrow is, does, etc.
Not everyone plays DotA :)

Also, how does your current trigger make them spawn, etc?
Does the dummy have enough mana to cast them, etc.?
What's wrong?

is like a shockwave, straight missile... when hits some target, stun and deals damage, also remove the projectile.

Facing of (Triggering unit) + (30*(Integer A))

And the integer A should go from: -1 to 1.
Eg.
Code:
From Integer A -1 to 1 do multiple...

For Each integer from -1 to 1
(Actions)((Facing Angle of Casting Unit) + (integerA*30))

EDIT: Oh nvm then.

Don't use Integer A
Integer Variable is much safer (this way, you can avoid some really strange bugs)

Integer A is perfectly fine as long as the data isn't overwritten. That's what causes any "bugs". Just make sure the trigger is instant.

hmm... weird, everytime I cast an Ability with that code, the Warcraft 3 crashes.. O_O

even this codes crashes warcraft 3:

Trigger:
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer ArrowInteger) from -1 to 1, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 |cffff4500Arrow|r for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 80.00 towards ((Facing of (Triggering unit)) + ((Real((Integer A))) x 30.00)) degrees) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Set Arrow[ArrowInteger] = (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set Arrow[ArrowInteger] movement speed to 522.00
        • Unit - Order Arrow[ArrowInteger]to Move To (Target point of ability being cast)


and this Integer A too! O_O

Trigger:
  • For each Integer A from -1 to 1, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 |cffff4500Arrow|r for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 80.00 towards ((Facing of (Triggering unit)) + ((Real((Integer A))) x 30.00)) degrees) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Set Arrow[IntegerA] = (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Set Arrow[IntegerA] movement speed to 522.00
      • Unit - Order Arrow[IntegerA] to Move To (Target point of ability being cast)


Do you guys have any formula other than having a -1 to 1 Loop? O_O

Don't use negative integer values for arrays. (you have Arrow[integer A] while integer A = -1 so it means you have Arrow[-1] which is obviously really weird). It crashes warcraft.

Try:

For each Integer A from 0 to 2 (Actions)
-Loop
Unit- Create Arrow for Owner at Position offset by 10 towards )Facing angle of Triggering Unit + Real(Integer A)*30 - 30)

Do everything else normally.

Code:
[B]Set Integer_Var = 0[/B]
For each Integer A from -1 to 1, do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            [B]Set Integer_Var = Integer_Var + 1[/B]
            Unit - Create 1 |cffff4500Arrow|r for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 80.00 towards ((Facing of (Triggering unit)) + ((Real((Integer A))) x 30.00)) degrees) facing Default building facing degrees
            Set Arrow[[B]Integer_Var[/B]] = (Last created unit)
            Unit - Set Arrow[[B]Integer_Var[/B]] movement speed to 522.00
            Unit - Order Arrow[[B]Integer_Var[/B]] to Move To (Target point of ability being cast)


> Don't use Integer A
Nonsense.

    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
