Hey, is it possible to make those archers real by triggering the height of the unit up to where it's on top of the scout tower, then make pathing blockers around the scout tower so units on top may not get out. Then you can set a region in the area of the scout tower so the unit can get out from the top, but reseting the height to normal?

The hieght of the archers probably wouldn't be 'reset' as such... Just make two different archers have different movement heights.

The rest sounds possible. That would make a cool addition to a game.

Pathing Blockers

Why dont u put some pathing blockers on so you cant move down the sides of the cliff? That would be cool...

To have a unit stand on the wall, you could use "invisible platform" and raise it to the top of the wall. (if you do be sure to add pathing blockers so they can't run down from the wall,:p maybe use some stairs(also made by invisible platforms?)). If you're using TFT that is ofc...

wow this is one of the most useful tutorials (for me at least) i've encountered. I think your doodad placement is great and changing the tints of the doodads as is cool too. I'd have to say my favorite part was your housing area. Hopefully you'll have time to add on to the tutorial on other parts of a castle town. +rep

dude its a tutorial, he took time out of his day to teach people how to make a quality castle, if you want a bigger castle, do what he did except do it a hundred times in a wide area with some different stuff.

great tutorial, but how would you emulate cliff visibility? i.e., from the bottom of the cliff, you can't see the top, and from the top, you can see all around.

Could you give post instructions on how to put units and doodads on top of building, likes towers and walls? Much appreciated

    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
