Im trying to make an ability based off searing arrows that does damage equivalent to a percentage of the casters Intelligence. Ive got it all figured out and made a floating text to display the damage but for some reason it always says the damage is 0 and from looking at the enemies life bar, the damage isn't added on either. Heres my trigger:

Code:
EnchantDamage
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        And - All (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Level of Enchant Weapon (Neutral) for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
                (Mana of (Attacking unit)) Greater than or equal to 50.00
    Actions
        Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing (((Real((Intelligence of (Attacking unit) (Include bonuses)))) / 4.00) x (Real((Level of Enchant Sword  for (Attacking unit))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        Set loc = ((Position of (Attacked unit)) offset by ((-10.00 x (Real((Length of (String((Intelligence of (Attacking unit) (Include bonuses)))))))), 0.00))
        Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (<Empty String> + (String(((Integer(((Real((Intelligence of (Attacking unit) (Include bonuses)))) / 4.00))) x (Level of Enchant Sword  for (Attacking unit)))))) at loc with Z offset 140.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 0.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
        Custom script:   set udg_loc = null
        Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
        Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
        Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
        Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds

I know its not the conditions because the trigger is running it just says it does 0 damage.

Tried that but it seems that Searing Arrows has no order string and cannot be detected as an ability. Anyway there is nothing wrong with the event or conditions, its the actions that dont work.

perhaps try another passive ability with a buff so that its easier to detect
and globals do not need nulling

maybe try using frost arrows since it has a buff

I nulled that global because its a location and its quicker to type null location rather than remove it. I want this to drain mana so passive is out of the question and I see you still haven't caught on to the fact that it can detect when Im using searing arrows its just the actions don't work. Having extra detection methods using buffs will not affect the actions at all and would probably require me to convert the whole thing to jass making it that little bit harder to edit when I need to.

Wait nevermind I got it. I had 2 different abilities called Enchant Sword and I was checking the level of the wrong one. Sorry for wasting your time.

    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
