how do you detect if a unit is "following" another unit? in other words, if he is patrol after a unit with right mouse click? tried if current order = smart, did not work
if current order = patrol, did not work

so how do i detect the smart right mouse click order if you click on an allied unit to follow him?

I'd believe that the order is "smart"...

Did this small test, on a unit following another one and it displayed "smart"...

He needs to know what order that is. You said smart but smart is used for many orders. Im not sure if you can detect this.

What events do you have? You will need to use " A unit is ordered targeting an object"
And like he said, the order string will be either "smart" (which works for every right click) or "patrol" I guess.

You can detect if smart is set to follow by filtering out the other orders through conditions. You can only follow friendly units with smart, remember?

i'm using all the issued an order events...

why would i need to filter the other out?
if he targets someone and following him, then it should run, if he do another smart command, as just right click, it should run, my problem is... it doesn't even run.

are you sure? add a debug message, make the game print out "runs" or something and see if the message is displayed..

Code: 
Move2
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Issued order) Equal to (Order(move))
                (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
                (Issued order) Equal to (Order(patrol))
    Actions
        Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
        Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)
        Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

this trigger will only be activated a short while from another trigger, but that has nothing to do with my question so i will only post this one since its the only trigger relited to my topic

The above posts are correct, just like right clicking something is smart, right clicking any object is also smart because there is a cirtain "AI" to moving, ect hehe. Make sure your trigger is checking for right clicking a unit, not a point, since the unit may move, moving to a unit is not dealing with locations directly, but is set to a function that changes based on the current location of the unit.

A few and far between bumps, but lol, I don't see how we can give you a different answer. Right clicking a friendly unit (following them) is smart, you arn't patrolling, you arn't attacking, you're not doing a normal move command. Moveover, I replicated the trigger of the post above, but for whenever my unit moved, and right clicking a friendly unit yielded a "smart" response in-game...

    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
