How to cut trees

I'm just gonna take a stab and say, make a Shockwave ability with suitable AoE, change the missile art to whatever, and change the Data - Targets Available (or whatever it is, near the bottom of the list) so that trees are on the targeting list? Also, take off some of the defaults if you don't want to hit units with it.

The best bet would be to use a projectile system. Search around the tutorials and see if you can find a tutorial for creating one. :thup:

the alleria (windrunner) has an ability that she released an arrow, and if you have trees in the way, the arrow cut the trees, that's what I want to do

You could make a dummy unit with move speed of 522. Check every 0.15 seconds or so whether there are destructibles of destructible_type within 50 yards or so of the dummy unit. If so kill all destructible.

Using a dummy as a projectile is pretty limiting unless you were to move it every frame. 522 is pretty slow for an arrow, for example. You could store the angle of the projectile and custom-move it frame by frame though.

It's pretty slow for an arrow, yes. But, if it were a glaive or something. Not so slow. But yeah, doing frame by frame works better :p. Personally i'd prefer frame by frame. (You can make it look cooler doing frame by frame :))

Use a periodic trigger (0.03 or 0.04 seconds for most smooth slide) and move the unit (projectile) towards a certain offset. This will basically create a moving effect. Then check for destructible types and destroy it.

    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
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.

    Power back on finally - all is good here no damage
