Is there any way by using jass codes to only make a unit face a point without interrupting orders? Today i attacked this forum with questions :D

I don't have WE or JassCraft with me, but if I remember correctly the name of the function is:
JASS:
SetUnitFacing(whichunit, real value)


Don't know if it interupts any current orders or not.


However you can move a unit without interupting its command:
JASS:
            call SetUnitX(u,x)
            call SetUnitY(u,y)

Consolation prize? :p

I don't see how you could've set a unit's facing whilst interrupting orders. :p

Alternatively, you could've used the GUI actions:
Trigger:
  • Actions
    • Unit - Make (Last created unit) face (Last created unit) over 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Make (Last created unit) face (Center of (Playable map area)) over 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Make (Last created unit) face Default building facing (270.0) over 0.00 seconds

Which seem somewhat more logical to use. :p

Which is not so logical because down there in the actions quotes says: "This only works if the source unit is not moving at the time" :p:p

The last one does exactly the same thing as the Jass action you're currently using.
That exact native. Not even a BJ. :p

Edit: No, nevermind.
Stupid of blizzard to leave that out though. =|

I was just gonna PM you about that, Sevion. :p
Yes, EGUI it.

Blizzard either uses the Timed native, which interrupts orders.
Or they use the good one, but use SetUnitPosition just before it. =|
Fail.

    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
