Well hello there mates. Hope I didn't go out of your minds for a little while ^_^.

Well I have a question for ya involving Unit Groups.

I am supposed to have a unit group that is not a structure and it is not mechanical. Now I already have set the Temp_Group to not be these things. But how can I order a unit to (let's say) storm bolt EACH and every one of the units in that Temp_Group?

Replies are much appreciated. :)

Thanks mates. :cool:

You can do this by using dummy units. Create one dummy for each picked unit, and order each dummy unit to storm bolt the picked unit.

Code:
Actions
    Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Player at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Number of units in (Units in (Playable map area))), do (Actions)
        Loop - Actions
            Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Matching unit)

Give the dummy unit a 99999 range storm bolt. Make it have 0 cooldown and 0 mana cost.

                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Picked unit)

Like this, but you would have to modify it.

You don't need that Integer A. This should work fine, just change the group that it goes through.

Consider altering the dummy the unit to have 0 movement speed and 0.00 turn rate. When the dummy unit is altered like so, you can have him cast many spells at one time (ones with 0 cooldown), you can have the dummy cast all the stormbolts at every single unit with just one dummy!

Code:
Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Custom script:   local unit udg_TempUnit
        Set TempGroup = (Units in (Playable map area))
        Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Create 1 Peasant for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        Set TempUnit = (Last created unit)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
                Unit - Move TempUnit instantly to TempPoint
                Unit - Order TempUnit to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Picked unit)
        Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to TempUnit
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)
        Custom script:   set udg_TempGroup = CreateGroup()
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

I didn't test it, so I don't know if its 100% working, normally I do everything in jass, been a while since I used GUI XP

EDIT: Remember to remove all leaks! Don't forget the leaks! Start now and your map will be better off. :)

    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
