Big Check

So, I have something similar to what Parasite has, an item that "morphs" you into a more powerful unit with special abilities, etc. If you've ever played Parasite, you'd know there is a bug that lets you be able to overwrite your default hero with one of the upgraded heroes. I'll try to example it.

You're hero A, you have two items which lets your morph into hero B and C.

"Hero A" activates "Hero B" (Morphs), "Hero B" activates "Hero C" (Morphs). So now, there are TWO morphs in place.
"Hero C" drops "Hero B". He then drops "Hero C", so now the morph deactivates into "Hero B", but "Hero B"'s item is no longer there so it is now the default unit, giving an extra slot. The player can pick up the "Hero B" and drop it to become "Hero A" again if he wishes.

If you don't understand, say so. If you do and someone asks, please tell them what I mean. I don't think I can explain it any better.


So, I've been trying to stop that little event from happening by having a check that checks if the "Hero B" has the "Hero B Item", if he doesn't it'll replace, or give and drop then remove a "Hero B Item".
To do this I made two triggers and four variables, each one is seen but I have a check missing and I can't figure out what it is. Here's the Init Trigger.

Code:
Item Stack Debug Init
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set ZZ_ItemDebugHERO[1] =   (SWAT)
        Set ZZ_ItemDebugITEMTYPE[1] = SWAT Suit
        Set ZZ_ItemDebugHERO[2] =   (Street Cop)
        Set ZZ_ItemDebugITEMTYPE[2] = Pistol
        Set ZZ_ItemStackNumberOfSuitsINT = 2
(I know its not Init, but it doesn't cause problems because of the Game Set Up)
The 1s are the same Item and Unit, the Item[1] morphs into the Unit[1].

Here's the check itself, it gets all the way to the Replace of the unit but I need another check I just can't figure out.

Code:
Item Stack Debug
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
         Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                 Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (PlayersDefaultUnit[(Integer A)] is alive) Equal to (==) True
                    Then - Actions
                         Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer TempInteger) from 1 to ZZ_ItemStackNumberOfSuitsINT, do (Actions)
                            Loop - Actions
                                 Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                                    If - Conditions
                                        (Unit-type of PlayersDefaultUnit[(Integer A)]) Equal to (==) ZZ_ItemDebugHERO[TempInteger]
                                    Then - Actions
                                         Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer B) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
                                            Loop - Actions
                                                 Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                                                    If - Conditions
                                                        (Item-type of (Item carried by PlayersDefaultUnit[(Integer A)] in slot (Integer B))) Equal to (==) ZZ_ItemDebugITEMTYPE[TempInteger]
                                                    Then - Actions
                                                        Game - Display to (All players) the text: Replace
                                                        Unit - Replace PlayersDefaultUnit[(Integer A)] with a   (Male) (Hero) using The old unit's relative life and mana
                                                        Set PlayersDefaultUnit[(Integer A)] = (Last replaced unit)
                                                        Set ZZ_BooleanHasIt[TempInteger] = True
                                                    Else - Actions
                                                        Game - Display to (All players) the text: Slot Check
                                    Else - Actions
                    Else - Actions
The Boolean I added to the beta version of the trigger, so I kept it in case I needed it again for later or for the next check.

If people can't figure this out, I can just do a "Morph back to default when item is dropped" kind of thing.

Nevermind re-read the post, going to look for that missing check now.

Edit: What isn't happening anyway?

Ah, I'm sorry about that.
The trigger activates, the messages are sent. But, I need an additional check to make the whole IDEA work, I want it to return to the normal unit if he DOESN'T have the appropriate Unit to Item.
Hell, I may be overcomplicating the whole thing.

So if he loses the item that makes him transform you want him to turn back?

It automatically does that, but if you stack transformations it can glitch. Does my example make sense? Person A puts on B and C, drops B, then drops C, and the unit is stuck with B.

I'm just getting stuck on this, what do you want to actually fix in the terms of transformations?

The entire check's purpose is to check if the unit's current model (because of the transformation) has the appropriate item. But since you can have several items which transform you I have to check every slot for the item, but right now its glitching, thinking that the person doesn't have the item.

    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
