Hey again!

I have got an ability that should do like cast a smoke bomb on where the unit attacks and i don't know how to do that condition and also i have a special effect problem, the impact effect doesn't show when it touches the ground (cloud ability) and one last thing, is there a way to make the special effect last longer (like a attack the units the smoke bomb lunches and when it it hits impact then the cloud stays there for 4 -5 seconds)?

My trigger:
Trigger:
  • Example 1
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Smoke Bomb
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 1, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set MS_dmg_source = (Casting unit)
          • Set MS_owner = (Owner of (Casting unit))
          • Set MS_create_point = (Position of (Casting unit))
          • Set MS_target_point = (Target point of ability being cast)
          • Set MS_damage = 100.00
          • Set MS_seconds_to_reach = 2.00
          • Set MS_angle = (Angle from MS_create_point to MS_target_point)
          • Set MS_distance = (Distance between MS_create_point and MS_target_point)
          • Set MS_missile_gfx = Abilities\Spells\Other\AcidBomb\BottleMissile.mdl
          • Set MS_impact_gfx = Abilities\Spells\Human\CloudOfFog\CloudOfFog.mdl
          • Set MS_unit_hit_eff = Abilities\Spells\Human\CloudOfFog\CloudOfFog.mdl
          • Set MS_arcs = True
          • -------- If MS_arc = true aply the following settings --------
          • Set MS_arc_dist = 300.00
          • Set MS_arc_type = (Integer A)
          • -------- --- --------
          • Set MS_parabola = False
          • -------- --- --------
          • Trigger - Run MS init <gen> (ignoring conditions)
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MS_create_point)
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_MS_target_point)

All that trigger does it set variables, am I missing something?

For the special effect have a dummy unit cast it as channeled and stop it when needed.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    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.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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

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