I am currently making a map with cheats. It's very basic. type gold and you get 10k, type lumber you get 10k, type tank you get a tank, ect.

Is there a way to create some kind of a trigger that if i type the abr-or the units name, I create it?

The second thing is I want to select a unit and then type a location [12,100]and the unit goes to that location on the map. I think I know how you do this but can you post for me please. If you know it?

Like I want a footman I would type: footman and I get it.
Like I want a footman I would type: footwoman and I get it.<---hehe

Post if you can help. Thanks.

Ok, this is better:

Type: - >name<
Code: 
Events
    Players type - as a substring
Condition
    Substring ((Entered Chatstring),1 ,2) is equal to [U]- [/U]
                                                    [B]NOTICE THE SPACEBAR[/B]
Actions
    Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type((Substring(Entered chat string), 3,(Lengt of (Entered chat string)))) for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
Type: ->name<
Code: 
Events
    Players type - as a substring
Condition
    Substring ((Entered Chatstring),1 ,1) is equal to -
                                                    [B]NO SPACEBAR[/B]
Actions
    Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type((Substring(Entered chat string), 2,(Lengt of (Entered chat string)))) for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
Type: >name< (I WOULDN'T EVER TAKE THIS, cos it will bug badly!)
Code: 
Events
    Players type >empty string< as a substring
Condition
Actions
    Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type((Entered chat string))) for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

hi again

how high can these go?

Substring ((Entered Chatstring),1 ,2) is equal to -

What would you suggest I should do?
What do you mean buggy?

I suggest something like:
-create >your unit<

It'll bug if you take the 3rd cos you can't make a condition for it.
It'll run ALWAYS, even if someone says "hi".

For your movement-problem

You could use something like this:

Code: 
UnitMovementViaChat
    Ereignisse
        Spieler - Spieler 1 (Rot) types a chat message containing -moveunit as Ein Teil-String
    Bedingungen
    Aktionen
        Set MoveTarget_String = (Entered chat string)
        Set MoveTarget_String = (Substring(MoveTarget_String, 11, ((Length of (Entered chat string)) - 1)))
        Set MoveUnit_Target[0] = (Real((Substring(MoveTarget_String, 1, 5))))
        Set MoveUnit_Target[1] = (Real((Substring(MoveTarget_String, 7, 11))))
        Einheitengruppe - Pick every unit in (Units owned by Spieler 1 (Rot) matching (((Matching unit) is selected by Spieler 1 (Rot)) Gleich True)) and do (Actions)
            Schleifen - Aktionen
                Einheit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Point(MoveUnit_Target[0], MoveUnit_Target[1]))

Im sorry, but Im using a german version of Warcraft, so if you cant read any parts of the code, just tell me...

The trigger is just an basic idea and would only work if one types "-moveunit[xxxxx,yyyyy]". but im sure it can be modified in a way, that makes it lesser buggy...
you woul also need some more conditions etc...

Well, I wanted the same exact thing that you want, and I posted about it. The trigger Ghan_04 gave me was:
Code: 
Spawn Units
    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -spawn as A substring
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type((Substring((Entered chat string), 8, (Length of (Entered chat string)))))) for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

It works perfectly, and it's really simple. The only thing about it is that you can't have any spaces. So if you wanted to spawn a "Priestess of the Moon," you would have to type: -spawn priestessofthemoon
Also, I don't think capitals matter on it.

I've allready posted that trigger, only debugged with a condition,
cos in your trigger you can just type:

"type -spawn to create a unit", the trigger will run, even though you don't want to.

    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
