i am currently working on a hero defence map, and i find myself in need of two systems, and one answer

1) i need an aggro system that suports deaths, fight resarts, and custom aggro values (meaning i can change the aggro value of an ability to be more than its damage).

2) the second system i am looking for is one that allows heros to push friendly non-hero units, it is very important that it only works on friendlies.

3) this ones a question. is it possible to remove the patrol button from a unit and allow a spell to be placed there in stead, or better yet, change the targets allowed for the patrol ability, change the icon and trigger a spell to it. currently need it to allow enemies.

1).
here is an aggro system made by Zwiebelchen. if you encounter any problems while implementing it contact Zwiebelchen.

3).
you cant remove the patrol button without removing your units movement.

2) As in a knockback? Or by "push" you mean selecting and possibly controlling units? Please clarify, and be specific. If it's a knockback, how far do you want it to move the units, in which direction, and what triggers it?

thanks for the aggro system.
so i cant remove patrol, but what about moding it?
+rep

the command buttons are pretty much hardcoded.
however, you can change the description text and the icon for the button (right now i forgot how but there must be a turtorial for this in the turtorial sub-forum)
if you want your ability to be point/unit targeting you might change the icon, the description and trigger your ability to fire when a unit is ordered to patrol.

Offtopic: By the way, you cant give rep if you havent got at least a reputation of 1.

Edit: this might be the turtorial you are looking for.

didnt know that, sorry. thanks for the links again though.

I think maybe a key detection set up might be better, since it needs be able to target an enemy unit

no, i mean like the hero is wading through the units, and they just get forced off to the side, allowing the hero to move through the friendlies unhindered, but not pushing them along in front of him, but doesnt allow the hero to move through enemies. would be nice if it worked while the non heros were moving as well. if it is easier, it could even work off of a buff.

you can check the current order of your hero whether its "patrol" or not. however patrolling units do attack enemys automatically when they reach its aquisation range.

yeah i know, i have gotten that much to work, its just that i wanted it to be able to target an enemy unit specifically. its not really a big deal any more, unless it is simpler than i imagine.

    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
