Problem with a spell..

I made this "spell" at the start of my map and that's the reason why it looks so nooby. Then I decided to update it to make it more efficient, but now only the old version works and I don't find any mistake:

I didn't build up a struct because there will never be more than 2 instances running at the same time, one from each of two towers, so having two triggers is easier :D
The dummy casts a swarm of chainbolts at all units in a rect. The first bolt does 1% damage, the second one 2%, ... . This damage is multiplicated with the level. Also the maximum amount of targets is calculated with the level, but that's not the point.

Old version that works:
JASS:
scope Chainbolt initializer InitTrig_Chainbolt1_Kopieren
globals
    private group unitgroup=CreateGroup()
    private unit dummy
    private real maxtargets
    private real counter
endglobals

private function Trig_Chainbolt_Conditions1 takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A00X' and  GetSpellAbilityUnit() == gg_unit_e004_0227
endfunction

private function Filter1 takes nothing returns boolean
    if IsUnitType(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_TYPE_STRUCTURE) == false and GetUnitState(GetFilterUnit(), UNIT_STATE_LIFE) > 0.405 and GetOwningPlayer(GetFilterUnit()) == Player(6) and maxtargets >0 then
        call IssueTargetOrder(dummy,"thunderbolt",GetFilterUnit())
        set maxtargets=maxtargets-1
        call SetWidgetLife(GetFilterUnit(),GetWidgetLife(GetFilterUnit())- ((udg_Chainboltlevel/100)*counter) * GetUnitState(GetFilterUnit(),UNIT_STATE_MAX_LIFE) )
        set counter=counter+1
    endif
    return false
endfunction

private function Trig_Chainbolt_Actions1 takes nothing returns nothing
    set counter=1
    set maxtargets=21-udg_Chainboltlevel
    set dummy=CreateUnit(Player(0),'h00E',GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()),GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit()),bj_UNIT_FACING)
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(unitgroup,gg_rct_See1,Condition(function Filter1))
    call RemoveUnit(dummy)
endfunction

private function InitTrig_Chainbolt1_Kopieren takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition(t, Condition( function Trig_Chainbolt_Conditions1 ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( t, function Trig_Chainbolt_Actions1 )
endfunction
endscope

There was another trigger that ordered a unit to fire an ability every 15. seconds and this activated the old skill (yea I know, nonsense :D)
"new" version that only fires one stormbolt. Structure condition removed.
JASS:
scope Chainbolt initializer Chainbolt1
globals
    private group unitgroup=CreateGroup()
    private unit dummy
    private real maxtargets
    private real counter
endglobals

private function Castanddamage takes nothing returns boolean
local unit u=GetFilterUnit()
    if GetUnitState(u, UNIT_STATE_LIFE) > 0.405 and GetOwningPlayer(u) == Player(6) and maxtargets >0 then
        call IssueTargetOrder(dummy,"thunderbolt",u)
//casts only one time (mana costs, cd etc is 0 ..)
        set maxtargets=maxtargets-1
      //  call PingMinimap(GetUnitX(u),GetUnitY(u),2.) this pings the right enemies
        call SetWidgetLife(u,GetWidgetLife(u)- ((udg_Chainboltlevel/100)*counter) * GetUnitState(u,UNIT_STATE_MAX_LIFE) )
        set counter=counter+1
    endif
    set u=null
    return false
endfunction

private function ChainboltBase takes nothing returns boolean
    set counter=1
    set maxtargets=21-udg_Chainboltlevel //level one hits 20 targets, level 10 hits 11 targets (--> 2 full hits)
    set dummy=CreateUnit(Player(0),'h00E',GetUnitX(gg_unit_e004_0227),GetUnitY(gg_unit_e004_0227),bj_UNIT_FACING)
    call GroupEnumUnitsInRect(unitgroup,gg_rct_See1,Condition(function Castanddamage))
    call UnitApplyTimedLife(dummy, 'BTLF', 10.00)
    return false
endfunction

private function Chainbolt1 takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger t = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEvent(t,15.,true)
    call TriggerAddCondition( t,Condition( function ChainboltBase ))
endfunction
endscope

    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.

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