Ah, I rather enjoy the new layout. Of course, it might not be all that new.

So, returning to the excitement of WE after quite some years, I'm a bit rusty. I'd love to get just a bit of help in order to shake up my memory. I've run into two small issues with my newest map.

1: Making a specific ability. The caster's attacks gain a Bash chance for a limited time. The way I've done this now feels a bit.. inefficient. The hero has a dummy ability based on Roar. A trigger then checks every attacking unit for a buff before creating a dummy unit and ordering it to Storm Bolt the victim. I'm not sure, but this feels overly complicated. Anyone has another way to do something like this?

2: I'm also not sure the trigger is MUI. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what makes a trigger non-MUI in the first place. I checked for tutorials on the matter, but could only find ones relating to the wait action. Is this the only thing that can make a trigger non-MUI?
2(edit): Ok, I just realized I don't need it to be MUI, it only has to be MPI. Does this mean I can just make every variable used in the trigger an array. Index would be player number, yes?


Thanks in advance;

1. When the hero activates the ability, just add Bash to the hero for a limited time. And then remove it afterwards.

Actions
- Add Bash to Triggering unit
- Wait 10 seconds
- Remove Bash from Triggering unit

It's MUI, in a way.


2. > Index would be player number, yes?
Yes. Also depending on what you're doing.

Thank you, sir.

Is there a way to hide the temporary Bash ability so the player won't be able to see it?

You could put the Bash ability into a Spell Book, disable the Spell Book and then give it to the unit.

AH!

I'd forgotten all about the Spell Books! Oh, well, this simplifies things.

    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.

    Power back on finally - all is good here no damage
