A drowning effect...

Ok I have a map where heros can hide in deep water but I want them to begin to drown after being in the water for 15 secs. I want the unit to take damage over time until he dies or leaves the region. Any ideas on how to drain the life?


(btw i know people dont drown in 15 secs but this is an anti-camp trigger)

Erm, you can make it based on the dive ability(or whatever). And start a timer to count 15 sec then begin to drain life. Whats that hard about it?

Oh... ok - its simple actually the ability is called submerge. Detect when the unit "casts" this ability and start the 15 sec timer. When the timer expires use another trigger to begin to drain him periodically.
Simple enough?

actually using the submerge ability is useless...I just want to know how to drain...not detect it. I have that part ready to go....

Calculate how much life the unit has, and remove 1/15th of the amount every second for 15 seconds.

Yea, well :) You still need to detect when the unit submerges, then start that timer, when the timer expires begin substracting life from that unit using periodic events.

I think he intends to start killing unit when it goes in the water, and have it die over 15 seconds.

i detect it by a unit entering the water region...no need for ability. And where would i find the triggers to decrease a units life by a percent?

Not kill then instantly, read the first post. Anyway, it should work like this.

Edit: Use "Unit - Set life(percentage)" or something like this...

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
