I have a bit of a problem with one of my AI abilities.
It's supposed to: Fire a shockwave in front, and two more shockwaves on each side that differ by an angle, but go in a cone in front of the hero. Like this: /|\ Lines=shockwaves. However, my ability fires only 1 (wtf?) shockwave, and usually at a wrong angle (sometimes as much as 90 degrees wrong). The triggers are done below, help me solve this problem please ^^

I suggest use 1 single dummy to cast all 3 shockwaves

you can achieve that by setting dummy's casting time/backswing to 0.

You're ordering the dummies to cast at a point offset by 0.00 distance - right on top of the dummy, and therefore it doesn't really have a direction. All 3 shockwaves are being cast, but all in the same (wrong) direction. Cast toward a point with at least 50 offset.

P.S. Point with polar offset creates a new point, and leaks with your triggers the way they currently stand.

Alrighty, a bit better. He doesn't shoot shockwaves randomly anymore but only when he deals damage. However, only 1 shockwave is still shot (dummy has 0 cast backswing and the casting time is 0, as well as the spells have no animation tags). And also this one shockwave seems to be shot in a random direction >.<

    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.

    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
