Will this leak the player group if is run multiple times? I'm guessing it does, but I don't want to have to go through my entire map if it doesn't. I looked at the tutorial for leaks but I'm still not clear about this one.

Thanks a lot!

(Note: please don't answer unless you're sure you're right. =p)

You can do this to prevent the leak:

Trigger:
  • Actions
    • Set TempForce = (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit))))
    • Game - Display to TempForce for 5.00 seconds the text: Unit upgrade will o...
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce(udg_TempForce)


TempForce is a player group variable.

players leak but if you 'destroy' it, probably you'll got some problems... because players are always used in game

just do a little test :p

Trigger:
  • .
    • set TempForce = (All Players)
    • call DestroyForce(udg_TempForce)


test this :rolleyes: and you'll see what you're doing xP (this will cause problem... is just to you see)

I believe destroying player group doesn't do that? Only if "All Players" is destroyed, then it won't be usable again. I think "Owner of (Triggering unit)" works fine even if the player group is destroyed.

Yes, because you're not destroying Owner of (Triggering Unit), you're destroying a variable that's set to whatever player happened to be the owner of the trigging unit.

o.õ' set a variable to a value, and then destroy it, you'll destroy the value...

for example my example...

you destroy the variable... but it bug everything

if you set a variable to be the player group "Owner of Triggering Unit" and you destroy it you will just destroy the variable not the player nor whatever.
its like setting the variable to nothing.

though beware of some global variables set in the game by default, "All Players" for example is a global variable. Using it will not leak.
however destroying it might have fatal consequences.

    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
