This trigger is causing my map to have a fatal error:
No Nenad that isn't it. I have used Trigger - Turn off (This trigger) frequently and that doesn't crash it.
Code:
Merchant
    Events
        Unit - Villager (Male) 0115 <gen> Is selected
    Conditions
    Actions
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for Player Group - Player 1 (Red)
        Special Effect - Destroy SpecEffectForDelete
        Cinematic - Send transmission to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) from Villager (Male) 0115 <gen> named Merchant Arturas: Play No sound and display (((Ahhh..... + (Proper name of Hero)) + isn't it?) + I am Merchant Arturas. Recently packs of bandits have been attacking my caravans heading to the City of Clarv. I have been ordered to deliver an extremely valuable package and I wish to engage your services.  Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in merchant <gen>) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To ((Center of (Playable map area)) offset by (-6500.00, 900.00))
        Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode Off for Player Group - Player 1 (Red)
        Trigger - Turn on Bandit Attack <gen>
Why?

Edit: According to my testing its this line:
Code:
Cinematic - Send transmission to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) from Villager (Male) 0115 <gen> named Merchant Arturas: Play No sound and display (((Ahhh..... + (Proper name of Hero)) + isn't it?) + I am Merchant Arturas. Recently packs of bandits have been attacking my caravans heading to the City of Clarv. I have been ordered to deliver an extremely valuable package and I wish to engage your services.  Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
How do I fix that and why would it cause an error like that?
Holy shit I've been experiment a bit and is it because i've exceded the text limit.....

> (Proper name of Hero)

Where's that name coming from?

> Special Effect - Destroy SpecEffectForDelete

Do you need that line? Your trigger doesn't seem to be using it.

> Center of (Playable map area)) offset by (-6500.00, 900.00)

Wouldn't it be simpler to just put a region?

Hero is the variable of my hero lol.

Special Effect - Destroy SpecEffectForDelete is for another trigger where I create a exclamation mark above his head.

Yeh it would be easier to create a region but I'm just a lazy roundabout bastard.

Anyway I solved the problem. I was using too many characters in a string. Lol I feel like owning something after an error that stupid.

Actually, making a region is much faster and, also, simpler, than trying to find out where exactly some spot may be with offsets...
Or where you just guessing those (-6500, 900)?

its real easy to get exact location with a off set. just put your mouse over the terrain and look at the bottom left corner of your screen.

Ehm... yes. But, if you don't touch that trigger anymore for some time,
then come back to it, let's say three weeks later, for some quick look,
do you know where that was just by looking at it?
With regions, and a name that makes sense, a simple double-click will bring you there...

Also, if you move the region around, there's no need to find the trigger that uses it...

Well, whatever floats your boat :)

I already did it that way and it was over a year ago and I can still remember what it does so thats not really an issue for me. The issue is I'm too lazy to change it now but will have to later anyway to stop memory leaks.

I really feel like knifing someone.

Edit: Really nice respawning system. I'm using No. 3 now.

A few notes.

1) The crash is most likely due to the effects of Cinematic Mode. Shall I supply you with a non-crashing version of that god-awful Blizzard function?

2) Your adding 0 second for the Villager when he speaks, thus when he speaks, it will immediately move onto the next action.

3) Your creating about 5 different Player Group and Unit Groups leaks in there, which isn't all that important, but stacks in memory after 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
