Runed Bracers and Illusions

Today, I'm on a road block on my map making spree.. I am coding a sorcerer. One of her spell is Fire-Ice Mold (she's a fire and ice mage) which creates an image of herself as a summoned unit. Ok, so I managed to simulate a summoned unit with special effects and such like a real summon :D. But I have one property of this summoned unit, it should take a ton of spell damage so it won't be an overpowered summon since it copies your stats. The sorcerer has a low HP, so does the summon. But the physical damage is high since it deal 75% of damage and at level 30, the sorcerer has 127 Int, but very low agi and str. So now, to make it balance, I want to make it weak against spells. So what I did is before the dummy unit casts Wand of Illusion, the caster should have a negative Runed Bracer ability then removing it after the illusion is created. I tested it and even use GetUnitAbilityLevel() to check if the illusion has the ability or not. Well, it does have the ability but for some reason the effect of the Runed Bracer does not work.. Is there anything wrong?? Any tips about this??

Why don't you just base your ability on Mirror Image or Item Illusion and set the Damage Dealt field to 100% (1) and Damage Taken to what ever you feel like?

The point is that it would only take damage on spells / magic attacks.. If I would set the Damage Dealt field, then it would be take more damage in every damage type

Try checking game constants about what you can change about illusions and what you can't. From what I remember, illusions don't sustain any auras or spells but they do sustain damage, armor and stat bonuses. I've never used runed bracers as unit ability, what I usually use is Elune's Grace which works pretty well. Alternately, if these don't help you will probably have to trigger whole ilusion by recreating the unit and make it 'look' like illusion.

Thanks, Elune's Grace did the job perfectly well..

    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
