Okey will fix that. Will the "<= PERCENTAGE_CONS..." cause any errors or can I keep it there?
Click to expand...

i just use it to make more configurable and don't will cause errors


the condition just check the level of the ability for the triggering unit and the random integer between 1 and 100 (which is the chance to cast again)

I really suggest you make two seperate abilities for the dummy and the spell itself... As the dummies many people make doesn't have mana, and dummy abilities shouldn't have it either.
And also, you might want to have a casting time on the first spell, but not the second.

So, I'd suggest you use this:
JASS:
scope Multicast initializer InitTrig

globals
	private constant integer ABILITY_ID 		  = &#039;A000&#039; //Raw code of the ability
	private constant integer DUMMY_ID 	          = &#039;dumy&#039; //Raw code of the dummy
    private constant integer DUMMY_SPELL_ID       = &#039;dmsp&#039; // The 
	
	private constant real    LIFE_TIME_DUMMY 	  = 2.     // How long the dummy will last, if you use spells like blizzard you would want to make this longer.
	private constant real    SPELL_DELAY 		  = .2 	   // Sets the delay between the casted spell and the multicasted spell
	private constant real	 LIFE_TIME_TEXT 	  = 3.     // Time util text disappear
	private constant real	 TEXT_FADE_POINT 	  = 2.     // Time it takes before the text start to fade out
    private constant integer TEXT_COLOR_RED       = 255    // The &quot;red&quot; color of the texttag
    private constant integer TEXT_COLOR_GREEN     = 0      // The &quot;greed&quot; color of the texttag
    private constant integer TEXT_COLOR_BLUE      = 0      // The &quot;blue&quot; color of the texttag
    private constant integer TEXT_COLOR_ALPHA     = 0      // The &quot;alpha&quot; color of the texttag (Transparency)
endglobals

private constant function Chance takes integer spellLvl returns real
    return 12. + (8. * spellLvl)
endfunction

//=========================================================\\
//========== Nothing to edit past this point ==============\\
//=========================================================\\

private function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggerUnit(), ABILITY_ID) &gt; 0 and GetRandomInt(1, 100) &lt;= Chance(GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggerUnit(), ABILITY_ID))
endfunction

private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit   u  = GetTriggerUnit()
    local real   x  = GetUnitX (u)
    local real   y  = GetUnitY (u)
    local player p  = GetOwningPlayer(u)
    local unit   tu = CreateUnit(p, DUMMY_ID, x, y, 270)

Thanks! But I can't make a second ability for all abilities since this multicast shall just be copied over and then work with all spells. Thats why I tell people to use my dummy for the spell.

"
What is this?
*Whenever a spell is cast, by a hero with the multicast ability, there is a percent chance that it will cast again a second time.
*Works with all spells without having to add a condition for every spell
*Trigger both in GUI and Jass (but this needs to be fixed some)"

First thing I write :p.

Where here do you tell them to use your own dummy for the spell ?! :S

Oh not there, in the map. There I just say that it should work with all abilities without you have to do anything extra.

Chain ligthning not working? Are you sure? I will look into it now!

Komaqtion what did you change in the trigger? Or what did the changes mean? Just optimization?

E: It actually does cast twice but it's a bit hard to see. But check the damage and you will see that it is casted twice.

Another Global:

JASS:
private constant string TTTEXT = &quot;Multicast!&quot;


Makes the TexTags text changeable easily. :thup:

Thanks will add that.

Komaqtion I had some problems with your trigger but I will VM you later since I have to go now.

E: Added. Working with Komaqtions trigger now. All is soon fixed ;).

I AM checking the damage and that's how i know it's not casting twice, silly.

Use this as the test map instead...

I changed the code a bit (Not too much actually) but I think the problem laid in the dummy :S

So I changed it a bit too, and some abilities works now ;)

Breath of Fire works, and I think Chain Lightning works if you change the delay to a bit more :D

Thanks for helping me out. Will check the map now.

E: Thanks again Komaqtion. You had some errors in your triggers but I fixed them. All things commented have been fixed now so:

Updated!


SanKaku the error with Chain Lightning depended on the range you were from the unit. If you cast it at maximum range it would almost never work. I have added that as a known error.

    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

    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
