Okay this is really weird! If I set any floating text in my map, It bugs! I don't know the reason, but here is for example on good floating text trigger which works perfectly fine, but on my map it doesn't!


Trigger:
  • Exclamation Mark
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • ((Dying unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (PlayerColours[(Player number of (Owner of (Killing unit)))] + (! + |R)) above (Dying unit) with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency
      • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
      • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
      • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.50 seconds
      • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees

In what way doesn't it work?
Displays a wrong color, doesn't display at all, crashes the game?

Throw away the 3 functions at the middle : permanence, lifespan, fading age.

I've tried that, but It doesn't display floating text at all!

Use local variables to fix it

That shouldn't be needed because this all happens instantly, he would have to use the trigger again faster than the actions are performed, which seems unlikely. The trigger looks fine, you probably have another trigger somewhere that messes with it or something.

      • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads TEXT at Temp_Point with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%), and 0.00% transparency

This doesn't work either. Also this is one of the most confusing question here as I see right now :(.

    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.

    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
