A functional Naga race

Does anyone know how Blizzard programmed the Naga in the expansion campaigns? I don't think their units were created through triggers, but I've tried making a Naga AI (base: Temple of the Tides, gold and lumber workers: Mur'gul, first hero: Naga Sea Witch, etc.)...and when I test it, the game just uses a Tree of Life and five Wisps, then sits around doing nothing.

u know, now your talking about it, i did play a game once on Battlenet in warcraft, but then as always theres the begin screen, u see ur name , ur color, ur race and then other players name and color and race, and u can just pick what u want (alright hope u knwo what i mean), but in the game the races where Demon, Naga, Element and Giant, and i have NO idea how that is even possible.... where can u change Human into Demon etc etc

I believe they just have the units already placed at the beginning, and then just order the workers to harvest lumber/gold. The workers automatically go back and forth, and then they continuously spawn units to attack you.

hmm, perhaps u can just CHANGE the night elf building "Tree of Life" to -whatever the nage town hall name is- and then the game will auto create that, also the wisps u need to change to ?? (i thought it whas mur'gul slave)... that should do the trick - unless ofcourse the player chooses another starting race, but u can fix that by going to Players (top screen) and then make every player (if everyones supposed to be "naga") to night elf - wich is naga- and then go to force and click the create own force, and then click the Fixed Player Settings and then everyons naga (assuming that u have mayed every player night elf :rolleyes: )

If you want to see how it is really done get a MPQ opener, open war3x.mpq and extract some nightelf campaign map from there (the last one?).

The AI from the campaigns is enteirly Jass-made and it's not in the maps from the campaign (as Goauld said), it's in some other file, in the MPQ aswell, sorry, I forgot how are they called...

Goauld and smith_s9...I was afraid you were going to say that.

I'll come back to this later, once I've got that MPQ opener. Thanks for your help, and watch this space...

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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
