As the title suggests, I am unsure how to make this happen. At the moment it looks like:

Trigger:
  • Player Group - Pick every player in Humans and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Player - Set (Picked player) Current gold to 250
      • Player - Limit training of Heroes to 1 for (Picked player)
      • Camera - Pan camera for (Picked player) to (Center of HumansTavernCreation <gen>) over 0.00 seconds
      • Unit - Create 1 Tavern (Human) for Neutral Passive at (Center of HumansTavernCreation <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Wait 300.00 seconds


I am unsure of what type of variable I should use. I haven't used variables that much yet but am determined to learn, so any help is more than welcome.

I will make a brief explanation of what it is I want it to and you can point me in the right directions; I want create a tavern so that I can train the selected hero and then after 300 seconds (5 minutes), the tavern is supposed to be removed again. Now the problem is that i have 2 teams (humans and orcs) and both sides get an individual tavern with race appropriate units.

Here's the full trigger:

Trigger:
  • Initialization
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Item - Create The Flag at (Center of FlagSpawnPoint <gen>)
      • Game - Set game speed to Fastest
      • Game - Lock the game speed
      • Melee Game - Use melee time of day (for all players)
      • Game - Display to (All players) the text: You have 5 minutes ...
      • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Player Group - Add Player 1 (Red) to Humans
          • Player Group - Add Player 2 (Blue) to Humans
          • Player Group - Add Player 3 (Teal) to Humans
          • Player Group - Add Player 4 (Purple) to Humans
          • Player Group - Add Player 5 (Yellow) to Humans
          • Player Group - Add Player 6 (Orange) to Humans
          • Player Group - Add Player 7 (Green) to Orcs
          • Player Group - Add Player 8 (Pink) to Orcs
          • Player Group - Add Player 9 (Gray) to Orcs
          • Player Group - Add Player 10 (Light Blue) to Orcs
          • Player Group - Add Player 11 (Dark Green) to Orcs
          • Player Group - Add Player 12 (Brown) to Orcs
      • Player Group - Pick every player in Humans and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Player - Set (Picked player) Current gold to 250
          • Player - Limit training of Heroes to 1 for (Picked player)
          • Camera - Pan camera for (Picked player) to (Center of HumansTavernCreation <gen>) over 0.00 seconds
          • Unit - Create 1 Tavern (Human) for Neutral Passive at (Center of HumansTavernCreation <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
          • Wait 300.00 seconds
      • Player Group - Pick every player in Orcs and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Player - Set (Picked player) Current gold to 250
          • Player - Limit training of Heroes to 1 for (Picked player)
          • Camera - Pan camera for (Picked player) to (Center of OrcsTavernCreation <gen>) over 0.00 seconds
          • Unit - Create 1 Tavern (Orc) for Neutral Passive at (Center of OrcsTavernCreation <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
          • Wait 300.00 seconds


Also, if anyone knows an easy way to make spells, auras and abilites to scale with Strength, Agility or Intelligence, that would also be more than welcome. And again, I just want you to point me in the right directions, otherwise I won't learn and i'll be stuck asking questions here every other hour.

Thanks in advance and if anything is unclear - please say so and I'll make a better explanation.

You would want to create a Unit Variable, then set the variable to the tavern after you create it. You would need to create a new Unit Variable for each tavern you plan on creating, or you can create a Unit Variable Array. Though instead of using variables and waits, you could just add an expiration timer to the taverns after they are created, and they will automatically die after the allotted time.
I don't think your trigger is going to do what you want it to though, from the looks of it. You can simplify a lot of it, but first, is there supposed to be 1 tavern created per side? Or 1 tavern created per player?

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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
