Need Help with Some Triggers

Alright, I've been playing around with these triggers for a while now, but no matter what I seem to add or change I can't get them to work right.

The idea behind these triggers is that the game will check every 5 seconds to see if player 10 and 5 have any units in the map. If no then it will count to 12 or wait 60 seconds then spawn units at the player locations.

When it spawns the units it suppose to find each building of certain type and create a unit of that type at the exact location.(This works fine for the most part) It then activates a flag that will be used later on.

The check spawn trigger will run and see that all enemies are dead and will run the trigger Unit to Buildings. This trigger is suppose to remove all the units created by the spawn trigger and remove them adding back in the units the spawn trigger removed. These units' locations, types, owner of unit player's number, and how many buildings were suppose to be set aside in a variable in the spawn trigger so that this trigger knows where, whos, and what type to create.

The problem is I end up with to many units on the map, If I have two fire bats I end up with 4. Two which are structures and two of which are units. This basically tells me that the trigger Units to Buildings isn't working because the units are not removed. It gives me an area that says "Error: Unit type (value = 0)" (See attached bmp)

Yes I realize that this triggers require cleaning and pruning but as it stands now I'm trying to get them to work. I'll worry about optimizing later after they do work, but do fill free to point out anything that could optimize them as it would make my job easier later on^.^

Thanks in advance <3

Unit - Create 1 BuildingTypes[For Loop Counter] for player Building Owner[For Loop Counter] at Building Locations[For Loop Counter] facing 90.0 degrees (No Options)

I believe that there is something wrong with the array BuildingTypes[]. There is probably a value in the array that the game doesn't understand and that's why it pops the error.

I advise you to verify if the indexes check out, cause I see you are using a loop and most times when an error occurs while looping through an array the problem is the indexes.

Hint: Human starts counting from 1 while computers from 0, try setting the loop from 0 to BuildingCount-1 and see if the error pops again, if not and everything works fine then probably that was the problem.

As for the firebats problem... Try going through every line of the triggers again and try to find the mistake (if there is one) I hardly have the time to reconnect the triggers and find it.

    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
