O.k i decided to mess around the editor again and i can barely find anything i need. So straight to the point.

I have this spell, called Water Barrier. Basicly what it has to do is create a blob of water, and if any allies are inside that blob of water, they got + armor or immunity to everything, haven't decided yet.

Anyway, I've been trying to find some kind of model/effect for the water blob. I don't want to download any models of hiveworkshop or somewhere similar, i want to find some kind of effect/model that is already in Wc3.


The effect models I've tried so far is the naga death effect and waterfall effect.. Well the naga death effect looked good, but thing is, i was planning to increase its aoe ( size scale ), and when i increase the scale, the water only increases up, and it becomes sort of like a pipe, and i wanted it to expand to the sides ( unless there is some option where i can expand it to the sides, if so, then sorry for bothering, but do point out how is that option called).

The waterfall, well i don't know why i even tried this. Looking from completely above it looks perfect. Shift the camera to a little angle, yep its definitely a waterfall.

So anyway, i want the effect to look like just a round water shape which size/scale i can increase as i need. + rep for the help.

Problem 2 ( doesn't have anything to do with the topic name )

Like i said, i can barely find anything i need in the editor ( especially the trigger editor ), so how can i detect when a specific unit is summoned? Ok i know the Summoned unit is spawned event, but how to specify what kind of summon i spawned, so the actions wouldn't take on every damn summoning spell? Even moar rep for this when i am able to give moar.
 

waaaks!

Bump

Still need suggestions on what kind of model i can use. And to the guy who offered me models, as i stated in my post, i don't want custom models, i want ones that are already in wc3.

Is the spell triggered or just a basic edited ability. You could create multiple waterfalls and angle them at different angles to create like a dome shaped waterfall around the unit. I'm fairly sure you can adjust the model size via triggers as well.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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
