Ive tried making this but completely failed, wondering if anyone else can take a crack at it.

Targets a unit for possession and removes (not kill remove or destroy the hero in any way) the hero from play taking full control over the target. once possessed the unit has the option to leave the unit and return the hero to normal. after leaving the unit the unit becomes ethereal for 10 seconds. if the unit dies before leaving, the hero will be returned but 20% of the possessed units Max health will damage the hero and also will be ethereal for 10 seconds. Cannot cast on hero's.

Now if you cannot do that spell can you make:

simple possession that has a 60 second duration afterwords the unit will become ethereal for 10 seconds and return to its previous owner.

I would much prefer the first, but beggars can't be choosers.
and of course rep to those who go for the trouble.

Alright. First thing, to improve the clarity of your request, I'd like to ask you to edit it making "X" the unit that is casting possession and "Y" the unit that is getting possessed.

Using "unit" everywhere makes it very confusing :S.

ok. this is gonna be hard but easy and simple.. Sorry if you dont understand, its handwritten. If you need more info just ask... :)

1. When you cast the spell, store the caster in the variable and also the target and its owner. Add the target to a unit group called "Possessed_Group" or something. Hide the caster.
2. Change ownership of that unit to yours and add an ability called "Un-possess" or something to the target.
3. In a seperate trigger with the event "A unit Dies" and the condition "((Triggering Unit) is in Possessed_Group) Equal to TRUE", unhide the caster, cast banish on it for 10 seconds, and deal the damage. In your case ((Max life of (Triggering Unit)) * 0.20)
4. When the "Un-possess" ability is cast, return the ownership, cast banish on it for 10 seconds and unhide the caster. Also remove the "Un-possess" ability.

X=caster, Y=Target, Spell1= possession, Spell2= leave possession,
Spell3 = Banish.

X unit casts spell1 on Y unit, hide X, give control over Y and add ability spell2 to Y.

if unit Y is under the control of X and Casts Spell2, Return control over Y to previous owner and cast Spell3 on Y, Remove Spell2 from Y, and return X unit to normal.

View attachment Spell - Possession.w3x

Here. Fully MUI and it works perfectly fine. Note that you can target heroes with possession though. You'll need to switch that off in Targets Allowed (Object Editor).

Most of the editable fields are in the object editor itself.

To implement:

1) You need the 4 triggers under Possession folder in your map

2) You need the 3 custom abilities "Possession", "Release", and "Possession Kickback (Dummy)"

3) You need the 3 variables

Once you have all that, just add the custom hero ability possession to any hero and it'll work. Any bugs or changes please tell me and I'll see to it.

Edit: any way to change it so it can target spell immune?

Edit: Scratch that changed the spell to finger of death instead of channel, works perfectly.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    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
