Two quick questions

1. I have a bullet spell done with triggers with a special locusted bullet unit. How can I make it so the bullet unit can't go over walls? I want it so that when it goes over a cliffed terrain it automatically gets removed from the game.

2. Can anyone suggest a good model for the bullet?

1. You will need to use an object motion system, like the Particle system, Simple Entity Engine, or MaDOS. They can all be found at hil ton.gw.oicc am.com .

2. The quillboar's missile looks cool as a bullet.

You should use WEU, so that you can make the unit "unselectable" and not locusted; because if it's locusted you cant order it to do things or even kill it I believe...

Go to <http://www.hiveworkshop.com/> for models and search for "bullet"
I think they have one...

I wouldn't advise using WEU, because many people have reported having corruption problems with it. Locust is the only way to make it unselectable, and yes you can order it to do things and kill it and pretty much everything else. The only problem is that it isn't counted in Pick Every Unit enums.

BTW, All those systems except for Particle System use vJass, which requires the NewGen World Editor.

But doesn't locust make it so that the unit can't be ordered to do things? :confused:

No. Locust just makes the unit unselectable and i think that invulnerable.

:banghead:

I wouldn't like Locust if it did that :rolleyes:

You cannot order the unit and kill it in a direct manner, but you can pick it with 2 unit group functions only: "Units of type" and "Units owned by player of type..." as well as kill it and order it manually once the unit is picked.

1. You can then proceed to check the locust's current position's terrain pathability. Might be hard though, considering only walls are supposed to block the bullet :p

2. Check the modelpack in the Resources Submission forum.

For the bullet to not go over walls, you can check every X.XX seconds if its height changes, remove it or w/e

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
