AoE Shackle trap (Requires channeling) help

Yea, Here is my problem:
I want to store each created dummy in a unit array.

But for some reason, the dummy units keep on getting stored in array '0' instead of this:

1st created dummy stored in array 0
2nd created dummy stored in array 1
etc.
etc.

I want to do this, so that when the caster channeling the ability stops channeling (by whatever means, stun, movement, attacking), I can just remove the dummies and null the array immediately.

But, only one unit is getting shackled and many dummies are being created.

Hoping someone will spot my mistake xD

Just a suggestion. Why not add the dummy units in a group rather than storing them as unit arrays?

I cannot believe this -___-
After posting my problem up, I messed with the trigger for the sake of it..

And I solved it -____-

I should have thought of using groups xD
Oops, I'll keep that in mind, lol

This:
JASS:
                  call UnitAddAbility(dummydg[inte], &#039;A028&#039;)
                  call IssueTargetOrder(dummydg[inte], &quot;magicleash&quot;, dg.filter)
                  call UnitApplyTimedLife(dummydg[inte], &#039;BTLF&#039;, 5.50)



Becomes this:
JASS:
                  call UnitAddAbility(dummydg[inte-1], &#039;A028&#039;)
                  call IssueTargetOrder(dummydg[inte-1], &quot;magicleash&quot;, dg.filter)
                  call UnitApplyTimedLife(dummydg[inte-1], &#039;BTLF&#039;, 5.50)



This:
JASS:
            loop
            call RemoveUnit(dummydg<i>)
            set dummydg<i> = null
            set i = i+1
            exitwhen i == inte
            endloop
</i></i>



Becomes this:
JASS:
            loop
            call RemoveUnit(dummydg<i>)
            set dummydg<i> = null
            set i = i+1
            exitwhen i == inte+1
            endloop
</i></i>




Haiz, now I'd like to know why I have to do that, lol.
I don't get it.

    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
