so u are saying i should do:
- call DestroyGroup(g)
- call CreateGroup(g)
- call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g,x,y,500*level,b)
like this?
call GroupClear(g)
call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g,x,y,500*level,b)

k thx i always thought that grouping units would recreate it like in the GUI except for the initial

and i tried now to do this:
JASS:
          //  loop
            //  exitwhen (TimerGetRemaining(speed) == 0)
              call TriggerSleepAction(1)             
           // endloop

so bassically i got read of this timer and used a wait action and it worked except for the fact that the second timer didn't run after 30 seconds and it kept running until all the monsters died so i still need to solve this timer thingy cuz it's only this one it's both of them so i clearly made something wrong here....

k thx Tom (i was pretty sure i has an 'Or' there but i guess i got mixed up)
it solved me out the first timer and now it's working fine but the second one still doesn't run

and btw
JASS:
call TimerStart(t,30,false,null)

i know the null part is where i should put a callback code but what do i need it for?

Instead of using a timer and a loop for your wait, why don't you use TriggerSleepAction() or PolledWait()?

I'm pretty sure that that is used if you want to make the timer start on a separate function. i.e.:

JASS:
function timerstart takes unit u returns nothing
    call KillUnit(u)
endfunction

function poo takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    call TimerStart(t,30,false,function timerstart)
endfunction
so u are saying that running the timer would also make it run the function or that the function will run once the timer ends?

because waits can't go below 0.27 and i need lower than that but i can settele with it but my point is why it's still doesn't work?
i mean it start with some number (let's sy even 0.01) and it reaches 0 so it's supposed to stay at 0 (it's not like it's periodeic) so something is wrong here.....
mabye i should try and use GetTimerElapsed i will see if it works

That'll crash the game :)
Timer callback functions are not allowed to have parameters.

Once the timer ends, it'll execute the function.

Just as a notice - it's not true that waits can't go below 0.27, the actual minimum is around 0.1.
Anyway why exactly do you need to wait 0.01 seconds? Might be a better way to do whatever you're trying.

TriggerSleepAction(-1) has the fastest average wait time

wouldn't that cause the game to crash?
and what do u mean by fastest average?

sleep times are not precise, nor are they accurate, I have seen test data which concludes that a value of -1 gives the shortest average sleep time

and if i go lower than -1 would it be shorter or it will crash?
and does it work also in Polled wait?

    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
