Hey, ive been making a game for a long time now but ive gotten stuck on something..
I need a trigger that damages a random point.
Ill show what i would like the trigger to be like, also showing where i need help with the trigger.
Trigger:
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.50 seconds of game time
    • Actions
      • Special Effect - Create a special Effect at (Random point in Region 184 <gen>) using (spell Effect)
      • Wait 3.00 seconds
      • Special Effect - Create a special Effect at (Here's a part where i need, i need this special Effect to happen where the first special Effect happened, how?) using (spell effect)
      • Unit - Cause (Triggering Unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 100.00 at (Target point of Ability being cast), dealing 350.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal


Now i also need alot of help with this one
Trigger:
  • Unit - Cause (Triggering Unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 100.00 at (Target point of Ability being cast), dealing 350.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

I probably have to use a different trigger for this, not sure, but I want to make the trigger damage people still in the area that had the random effects. I just need to know how to make it work and go to the right place.


Sorry if this post is a little hard to understand... not easy to explain the problem :banghead:

Region 184

Holy shit.... 184 regions. I rarely have at most 5 regions in any of my maps :p

(Here's a part where i need, i need this special Effect to happen where the first special Effect happened, how?)

Store the first special effect in a variable then reference it there.

Target point of Ability being cast

I probably have to use a different trigger for this, not sure, but I want to make the trigger damage people still in the area that had the random effects. I just need to know how to make it work and go to the right place.

Not sure what your asking... but if i understood right i think that will work.

use variables^^

non MUI:
Code:
Events
    Unit - Unit Is attacked
Actions
    Set TempLoc = (Random point in Region 184 <gen>)
    Special Effect - Create a special Effect at TempLoc using (spell Effect)
    Special Effect - Destroy (last created Effect)
    Wait 3.00 seconds
    Special Effect - Create a special Effect at TempLoc using (spell effect)
    Special Effect - Destroy (last created Effect)
    Unit - Cause (Triggering Unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 100.00 at TempLoc, dealing 350.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

MUI:
Code:
Events
    Unit - Unit Is attacked
Actions
    Custom script: local location loc
    Set TempLoc = (Random point in Region 184 <gen>)
    Custom script: set loc = udg_TempLoc
    Special Effect - Create a special Effect at TempLoc using (spell Effect)
    Special Effect - Destroy (last created Effect)
    Wait 3.00 seconds
    Custom script: set udg_TempLoc = loc 
    Special Effect - Create a special Effect at TempLoc using (spell effect)
    Special Effect - Destroy (last created Effect)
    Unit - Cause (Triggering Unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 100.00 at TempLoc, dealing 350.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
    Custom script: call RemoveLocation(loc)
    Custom script: set loc = null

Trigger:
  • Events
    • Unit - Unit Is attacked
    • Actions
      • set TempPoint = Random point in Region 184 &lt;gen&gt;
      • Special Effect - Create a special Effect at (Random point in Region 184 &lt;gen&gt;) using (spell Effect)
      • Wait 3.00 seconds
      • Special Effect - Create a special Effect at TempPoint using (spell effect)
      • Unit - Cause (Triggering Unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 100.00 at TempPoint, dealing 350.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

as simple as this. If you want the spell MUI then you should set TempPoint as local variable

EDIT: Ahg im confused today.. I mean the trigger would happen every 1.5 seconds. And it would turn on once the unit goes into combat

    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
