Yet again another build question

So im close to fixing my big anoying problem.. its been made smaller atleast hehe


So i have a snippet which detects something when a unit is done with a construction (wont go into details here as it doesnt matter). but when a player is shift + placing buildings. the peasants goes to fast into the next building in line (so fast that my snippet cant catch it and detect its position).
I tried with a little 1 second wait, but due to lagg and desync and small things like that, will make the build time vary with +-0.1 sec or so..

So i came up with this genious idea lol, to make the unit pause for 0.5 seconds or something after finished construction. but how do i do that?

I tried this:
Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes construction
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)

But dont think its fast enough before he goes into the new building.




If this cant be done then:


How do i disable Shift building heh..?

Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins construction
    Conditions
    Actions
        Wait until ((Life of (Constructing structure)) Equal to (Max life of (Constructing structure))), checking every 0.10 seconds
        Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        Wait 0.50 seconds
        Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)
That maybe?

Relook it now.
It's saying:
Wait until [Current Life] = [Max Life], checking every 0.10 seconds.

think it triggers it at once.. it doesnt wait

EDIT: Made mistake, retesting

Set the Wait to a longer time just for debug purposes to see if it even pauses the unit.

EDIT: Made a test map, it doesn't even pause the worker.

it didnt.. thats why i said above that i dont even think it register..

thou with your suggestion it just messed up and didnt even wanna build hehe

Mine built a tower, but didn't pause.

EDIT: Interesting, look at this:
Code:
Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins construction
    Conditions
    Actions
        Wait until ((Life of (Constructing structure)) Equal to (Max life of (Constructing structure))), checking every 0.10 seconds
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: Done
        Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        Wait 3.00 seconds
        Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)
It says 'Done' when you start constructing, not when you're done constructing.

Gahh, I can't seem to find how to do it :banghead: .

By the way, your original trigger doesn't even pause the worker...
I think it's "Triggering Unit" that's messing it up.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    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.
