I have a number of issues. First and foremost I want this MUI and MPI. It needs to be spammable. Current Trigger below.
[del]a. I've been trying to remove the BJ's. There are still some in there but I've gotten tired today. I'll look at them later.[/del] Done
1. Is the spell Mui?
2. For some reason it doesn't damage any mines that are laid next to it, but it does effect all other units. The unit being created is a custom unit based off Goblin Mine. I want to be able to set off chain reactions.
3. Hows my Jassing? Give me feedback please. I want to improve.
3b. I'm having trouble with those TriggerSleepActions. I've looked into timers but I'm finding my brain has shut off and I can't concentrate enough to get the timer ideas.
4. I'm trying to head this into structs. Would someone be kind enough to guide me to that?
[del]5. I'm trying to allow for 5 different mines. Should I just make separate function for each one or is it possible to do conditions and variables that change depending on what ability is cast and what units are to be created?[/del] Done

I've decided that my triggering suxxors and I'm redoing it.

Sinners: wouldn't your Jass make a unit every time I use that Mine Variable? I don't want to make one every time.

If it is personal, just inline the constant functions. If you need me to explain any of this, I will gladly do so. :)

Thanks for doing that Purge. There are errors though.

Need to remove call in both of these lines.
JASS:
set Mine = call CreateUnit(GetOwningPlayer(Caster), MineID(), CasterX, CasterY, bj_UNIT_FACING)
set Explosion = call CreateUnit(GetOwningPlayer(Caster),'Ekee',CasterX,CasterY,bj_UNIT_FACING)


These will need to change to a timer. Not TriggerSleepActions.
JASS:
call TriggerSleepAction(MineTimer())
call TriggerSleepAction(2)


I'm also toying with the idea that the explosion should be a separate function, so that any mine can call it.

This needs to have the X and Y of the mine, not the caster.
JASS:
call UnitDamagePoint(Mine, 0, MineBlastRadius(), CasterX, CasterY, MineDamage(), true, false, ATTACK_TYPE_MELEE, DAMAGE_TYPE_NORMAL, WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS)


I realized I had forgotten these in my trigger so thanks for reminding me.
JASS:
   set Caster            = null
   set Mine              = null
   set Explosion         = null


I've had enough of a break today to realise my stupidity in the making of and posting my trigger. It was far from ready for such a move.

I do appreciate the time you took to change it though :)

Note: I don't want someone to fix all my problems in this script. I'd like someone to point out a mistake and help me understand what I did wrong so that I can learn. I want to become better at scripting, not just have someone fix everything i do.

Thanks for all that.
I can only do that on the explosion unit. If I do this on the mine unit the explosion unit gets created instantly. I need a timer or an attachment thing. I don't want to use HandleVars or GC. I want to use something faster because there will be hella movement and stuff on my map.

SetCSData() and GetCSData() along with a timer works very well, those functions are included in CSCache.

JASS:
struct dastruct
    unit caster
    real somenumber
    etc.
endstruct

function timer_func takes nothing returns nothing
local dastruct dat = GetCSData(GetExpiredTimer())
local unit caster = dat.caster
local real somenumber = dat.somenumber

//

call dat.destroy()
endfunction

function main takes nothing returns nothing
local unit caster
local real somenumber
local dastruct dat = dastruct.create()
local timer t = CreateTimer()

set dat.caster = caster
set dat.somenumber = somenumber
call SetCSData(t,dat)

call TimerStart(t,1.00,false, function timer_func)
set caster = null
endfunction


That's how you can pass objects to another function using a timer (which is 1000000 times more accurate than TriggerSleepAction or PolledWait).

Click to expand...

Handle vars, use Gamecaches, stuff used in Save/load systems and more. Basically, it stores that variable, then you can retrieve it in the next function using StoreInteger/GetStoredInteger. This lets you use it in different functions. The handle vars, let you do this.

Structs, though, are faster and more efficient in cases. If you know only basic JASS, I suggest you can learn handle vars if you want to, but you should use structs.. After you've gone away from the handle var phase.

Also, do you still have the old code? If you want, I can explain my code better if you post it.. I didn't save the .j, I just c'n'p, edited, then c'n'p back to the post.

I'd like to use structs. Handle vars? I'm over them. ;)
I understood your code. I've basically used yours and modified it further. You took mine and made it better, I took yours and made it better, and now together we shall rule the worl....sorry carried away there.

If you can help me get structs into this spell for the timer I'll give you a donut. Or if you can help me convert the entire thing to structs I'll give you two donuts.

See the current code in the spoiler in the first post.

Note: Deliberate double post as the my last post isn't really related to anything...really.

[del] How do I write this correctly? It tells me the endif at the bottom is "Missing Return"[/del] Nevermind. I got it.
JASS:
function Trig_CreateProximityMineJass2_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if (GetSpellAbilityId() == ProxRawCode())==true then
        return GetSpellAbilityId() == ProxRawCode()
    elseif (GetSpellAbilityId() == FoFRawCode())==true then
        return GetSpellAbilityId() == FoFRawCode()
    elseif (GetSpellAbilityId() == HomeRawCode())==true then
        return GetSpellAbilityId() == HomeRawCode()
    elseif (GetSpellAbilityId() == StealthRawCode())==true then
        return GetSpellAbilityId() == StealthRawCode()
    elseif (GetSpellAbilityId() == AcidRawCode())==true then
        return GetSpellAbilityId() == AcidRawCode()
    endif
endfunction

(Gui Conversion with tweaking - Is there a better way?)
JASS:
function Trig_CreateProximityMineJass2_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ((GetSpellAbilityId()==ProxRawCode())) then
        return GetSpellAbilityId()==ProxRawCode()
    endif
    if ((GetSpellAbilityId()==StealthRawCode())) then
        return GetSpellAbilityId()==StealthRawCode()
    endif
    if ((GetSpellAbilityId()==HomeRawCode())) then
        return GetSpellAbilityId()==HomeRawCode()
    endif
    if ((GetSpellAbilityId()==FoFRawCode())) then
        return GetSpellAbilityId()==FoFRawCode()
    endif
    if ((GetSpellAbilityId()==AcidRawCode())) then
        return GetSpellAbilityId()==AcidRawCode()
    endif
    return false
endfunction

The below is spitting out an error message of:
"Comparing two variables of different primitives (except Real and Integer is not allowed)"
So what do I need to do to convert the Boolean (above Jass) to Integer (the below?)
JASS:
function MineID takes nothing returns integer
//    return 'n003'
    if ( (Trig_CreateProximityMineJass2_Conditions == ProxRawCode())==true ) then
        return 'n003'
    endif
    if ( ( Trig_CreateProximityMineJass2_Conditions == StealthRawCode() ) ) then
        return 'n003'
    endif
    if ( ( Trig_CreateProximityMineJass2_Conditions == HomeRawCode() ) ) then
        return 'n003'
    endif
    if ( ( Trig_CreateProximityMineJass2_Conditions == FoFRawCode() ) ) then
        return 'n003'
    endif
    if ( ( Trig_CreateProximityMineJass2_Conditions == AcidRawCode() ) ) then
        return 'n003'
    endif

this depends on what the functions on the first trigger returns if they return integer it should work
and btw when you do something like this:
JASS:
    if ((GetSpellAbilityId()==ProxRawCode())) then
        return GetSpellAbilityId()==ProxRawCode()
    endif

it's pointless to return the same thing as you did on the 'if' since you already checked so it would simply be easier to just put return true like this:
JASS:
    if ((GetSpellAbilityId()==ProxRawCode())) then
        return true
    endif

You are correct, however the first trigger returns a boolean. It is the "spell is casted condition check". I wrote it that way because of this next Jass...the shortened way to do the conditioning. I just replaced "true" with the coding.

JASS:
function Trig_CreateProximityMineJass2_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
        return GetSpellAbilityId()==ProxRawCode()
endfunction


I need some way of saying (if stealth spell is cast then use the stealth unit Integer). I'm wondering if I could set a LastCreatedMineUnit[PlayerNumber] global variable of some sort so that when it stealth is cast, it will change the triggering players last mine variable to stealth. Then if the mine variable == stealth mine then use the stealth unit integer.

Make sense?

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
