Generally I would just base my summoning abilities off of Feral Spirit as this removes any previously summoned companion. However, I am using Triggers to summon with my current ability based off of Channel.

Trigger:
  • Raise Ghoul Rank 1
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to (==) Raise Ghoul
    • Actions
      • Set RandomName = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
        • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • RandomName Equal to (==) 1
          • Then - Actions
            • Set L = (Position of (Triggering unit))
            • Unit - Create 1 Horgus (Level 1) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at L facing L
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_L)
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing
              • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • If - Conditions
                  • RandomName Equal to (==) 2
                • Then - Actions
                  • Set L = (Position of (Triggering unit))
                  • Unit - Create 1 Braintheif (Level 1) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at L facing L
                  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_L)
                • Else - Actions
                  • Do nothing
                    • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                      • If - Conditions
                        • RandomName Equal to (==) 3
                      • Then - Actions
                        • Set L = (Position of (Triggering unit))
                        • Unit - Create 1 Corpsegrinder (Level 1) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at L facing L
                        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_L)
                      • Else - Actions
                        • Do nothing


This spell has 5 levels, lets say I cast the level one version twice as it is currently I would have two Ghouls. Is there a way to remove my previous Ghoul via Triggers if I use the spell a second time, and consequently for any other levels of my spell.

You could remove every existing Unit which could be spawned by the spell when you cast the spell by doing this:
You need to add 1 condition for every new unit you would add, and you could even add every unit for every level of the spell to the conditions.

Temp_Group is a unit group global variable
Trigger:
  • Set Temp_Group = (Units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) == Horgus) or (((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) == Corpsegrinder) or ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) == Brainthief))))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

Really? why is that? How would I go about fixing this issue?

What I was attempting to do from the start is have a summoning ability that will generate different names for the same summoned creature. In terms of what I want it to generally do it works great, I was just looking for a way to prevent him from having more than one Ghoul up at a time, no matter the levels.

Seems to be that the issue is with this...

Trigger:

    • Unit - Explode (Matching unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Group1)


Anyone with a little more knowledge than me have any ideas as to why this isn't correct?

    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
