With your demonstration, it displayed Footman 3 times (even though the Id parameter only used 'hfoo' twice)

Uhm.. That's extremely strange. With me it shows footman, peasant, footman and the footman kills the peasant.

You need to add |r to the end of your system messages. They don't display with the correct colour without it.

//* TimerUtils (Blue flavor)
//* ----------
//*
//*  To implement it , create a custom text trigger called TimerUtils

//*
//*  To copy from a map to another, copy the trigger holding this
//* library to your map.
//*
//* (requires vJass)   More scripts: htt://www.wc3campaigns.net
//*
//* For your timer needs:
//*  * Attaching
//*  * Recycling (with double-free protection)
//*
//* set t=NewTimer()      : Get a timer (alternative to CreateTimer)
//* ReleaseTimer(t)       : Relese a timer (alt to DestroyTimer)
//* SetTimerData(t,2)     : Attach value 2 to timer
//* GetTimerData(t)       : Get the timer&#039;s value.
//*                         You can assume a timer&#039;s value is 0
//*                         after NewTimer.
//*
//* Blue Flavor: Slower than the red flavor, it got a 408000 handle id
//*             limit, which means that if more than 408000 handle ids
//*             are used in your map, TimerUtils might fail, this

So considering yours is pretty much TimerUtils copied but with more recycling/handles supported?, shouldn't you release it as a mod/addon of TimerUtils and not a system?

This comes to mind from the submission rules thread:

Do not submit other people's work.
Click to expand...

And yeah, I saw you give Vexorian credit for the "idea" in your code, but that should really say "code" and be in big bold text at the top of the post or something.

Sorry for not having very positive feedback, but as others have stated, there isn't really much point releasing things that already exist if you aren't doing a better job.

Damn, I'm being a hard-ass, sorry. :(

(I like your RPG though, it's wicked, besides the tree problem, lol.)

Hehe.. Hehe.. Well, yes. Though as I said earlier, it didn't start this way. I tested multiple stuff, in which much didn't work, and all the other didn't work properly. So, I got an idea; what about mixing TimerUtils and HAIL, so that you could use TimerUtils for not only timers. Well, it works really well, and I'm really glad of the result. Then people can choose if they want to use it or not.

(And thanks about that RPG thing :p)

That'd be, pretty much, CSData + CSSafety - the system doesn't really have anything new or exceptional (the unit recycling, while useful, has limited usage since units tend to do alot of stuff without anyone noticing) that makes it stand out above the rest which doesn't really make it justifiable to use over system(s) that people already know how to use

CS (the individual system, not the whole package) is very different to CSData - CS (from what I know) consists of functions to aid in spells such as functions for casting (I haven't looked at CS in a long time so I don't really know exactly what is contains, but alot of it is related to spellmaking as far as I know)

CSData, on the other hand, is the struct attachment system contains within the CS package but it can be used independently of everything else in the package, and there isn't anything wrong with using it (since it's small, simple, and does exactly what it's meant to do) - from my understanding, CSData is certainly not outdated

Oh, well. Damn.
Well, I like what it came out to, and I use it for all my stuff, works great and fast. (Don't know if it's faster than other stuff though, probably isn't.)

Posted in the wrong place, sorry.

Edit: Since I'm here anyway...

But yeah, while it's nice having all these things in one package, everything is pretty much Vex's work, apart from the unit-recycling code.

Also, why would one use the textmacro with Get/SetHandleData()?

Click to expand...

Because when you use the textmacro, you generate a new attaching data global, which makes it harder to have maximum data at the same, even though that's nearly impossible... if you reached the maximum, you're fucked.

    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.

    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

    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.
