Any of you know a good tutorial about structs?
I can't find a lot about them....

World-Editor-Tutorials actually gives me none... Or I'm searching the wrong way?

> But they can be used to pass data to timers.
They can't unless you use a variable or a system for the actual passing. And using either is of those is possible regardless of having structs defined or not.

I did not say you need them, I just said it was possible with them.

And I never said it's impossible. :p

Read Vexorian's manual:

I've readen the tutorial for the biggest part, but a small question about structs:

Is it possible to pass a value via a timer with it o_O?
By now it seems like it's some "basic" value which you use into your function?

So 2 options: (maybe 3)
A. Structs
B.Table/Handle var to count number of times the timer expires
C. (maybe) let the trigger call itsself using a timer (only possible if I can pass value in timer, but I'd need A or B for that, right?)[/list]

Solution is hidden in your own words.
Some things simply manifest themselves into existence when needed.

No, forget C.
Forget A as well. I repeat, structs aren't an attachment system, in fact they weren't even made for attaching, it's just one of possible uses.
Find a system that can attach a single integer to a timer. Since structs are integers you can attach a struct to it. That's all there is to it.

Cohadar is making a lot of jokes about his attachment system, ABC in case you're wondering.

Yeah, I've been looking fot attachment system.

But this night I got some (I think) good idea.
BUT It's only possible if these conditions return true:

  • If you run such a JASS timer, and put it to 0.03 seconds, will it take EXACTLY 0.03 seconds, ALWAYS?
  • Same as A, but then with 3 seconds?

Cos in that case I can run a global integer which I increase every time I gotta pass it.
I'd use gamecache then: I store under the label named integer_var the value I gotta pass 0.03 seconds later.

You guys think that is possible?

k,
Anyway, I'm not trying to do it with gamecache, like this:

(This is pointly, dun know wether you guys understand it, but I do in combination with my memory:p)

  • store all values under label int_var1 and do int_var1 +1
  • call first time with int_var2
  • store int_var2 under int_var1 and do int_var1 +1
  • call rest of the times the stored int_var2 with the new int_var2, like that you get the old data.
  • take all values with int_var2_old
***note: I let my function call hisself using an one-hit timer, and if a certain stored value gets greather than (for example) 50, then I won't let it recall hisself anymore***

I'm about 90% sure that it will work, since Cohadar says the timers take exactly 0.03seconds, so the int_var's wont bug.

Ok this is not funny any more.

Noob-friendly Attachment system -----> ABC

Download the demo map and see how it is done ffs.

If there is something particularly hard for you to understand there just ask.
If you need me to write you an example ask politely.

Now stop wasting your time with gamecache and other silly stuff
that take 5 days to learn, run slow and create nondeterministic bugs.

    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
