Dummy Unit not casting ability properly + Flying height issue

These 2 triggers don't work.
This one doesn't work at all unless I change the division to any other mathematical operator. It works like this:
-Fishing_Caster_Point is the position of the unit casting the ability
-Fishing_Target_Point is the point at which the ability is cast
-Fishing_Net_Point is the current position of the missile dummy unit
Trigger:
  • Animation - Change (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Fishing_Hash) flying height to ((Default flying height of (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Fishing_Hash)) - (((Distance between Fishing_Caster_Point and Fishing_Net_Point) / (Distance between Fishing_Target_Point and Fishing_Caster_Point)) x 100.00)) at 0.00


This one I have on idea what is wrong, it will randomly cast it on something instead of casting it on all units in range, cast point and backswing point are 0, cooldown on the ability is 0, mana cost is 0, cast time 0, I have no idea what is going on here.
Trigger:
  • Set Fish_Net_Group = (Units within 200.00 of Fishing_Target_Point)
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Neutral Hostile at Fishing_Target_Point facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Entangling Roots to (Last created unit)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Fish_Net_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Picked unit)
    • Unit - Remove (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Fishing_Hash) from the game


Trigger:
  • Fishing Net Travel
    • Events
      • Time - Fish_Timer expires
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (Actions)

          • Set Fishing_Net_Point = (Position of (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Fishing_Hash))
          • Set Fishing_Target_Point = (Load (Integer A) of 4 in Fishing_Hash)
          • Set Fishing_Caster_Point = (Load (Integer A) of 2 in Fishing_Hash)
          • Animation - Change (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Fishing_Hash) flying height to ((Default flying height of (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Fishing_Hash)) - (((Distance between Fishing_Caster_Point and Fishing_Net_Point) / (Distance between Fishing_Target_Point and Fishing_Caster_Point)) x 100.00)) at 0.00
          • Unit - Move (Load (Integer A) of 1 in Fishing_Hash) instantly to (Fishing_Net_Point offset by 6.00 towards (Angle from Fishing_Net_Point to Fishing_Target_Point) degrees)
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Remaining time for Fish_Timer) Equal to 0.00
            • Then - Actions
              • Countdown Timer - Start Fish_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.01 seconds
            • Else - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Distance between Fishing_Net_Point and Fishing_Target_Point) Less than or equal to 3.01
            • Then - Actions
              • Set Fish_Net_Group = (Units within 200.00 of Fishing_Target_Point)
              • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Neutral Hostile at Fishing_Target_Point facing Default building facing degrees
              • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

            • Else - Actions


One more thing, the original dummy ability, cast by the unit, is based on dispel magic, could that be the problem, the casting point being an area instead of just a point like in carrion swarm? The dispel ability itself does absolutely nothing, targets allowed is set to None.
Any help would be appreciated.

Regardless of the back/point swing being zero, it's better to create one dummy per target unit. It doesn't work because the dummy unit has turn rate. You can't have instant turn rate.

Thought as much.
I still can't fix my first issue though, I just can't wrap my head around what's wrong with it.

The fishing question in the top. I'm no shark at hash tables but what is supposed to happen?

When the dummy unit representing the missile for the spell reaches the desired area, then a new dummy unit is spawned accounting for each unit in the area, then it's supposed to cast esnare on them.

Great. That is what is supposed to happen. What is the problem, what doesn't work?

What I get from the trigger is that some unit's flying height is changed to:
default flying height of that unit - ((Distance between point A and point B) / (Distance between point C and point A) x 100)

So this action simply change the unit's flying height based on the distance between some points?

It's supposed to lower the unit's flying height progressively as the unit closes the distance between the starting and end points, but it does not work at all for some reason.

So to be completely sure.
The problem is that the unit's height does not change right?

If that's the problem, have you tried using the Storm Crow trick?

    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
