How can i place a gold mine symetrically into my map...

I have 1 gold mine at lower right part of the map - what triggering is required to make another gold mine at the top left corner with mirrored placing... so that when 2 guys start from the middle and travel with the same speed get to the 2 different gold mine at the same time.

I thought about using a sin function... i noticed in dota that the units may be spawning using some distance formula...

Im in a hurry now so i cant explain with more detail.

usually people place these by hand. i wouldnt know any benefits for placing them by hand.
besides, 2 units move towards these goldmines havent gotten to reach them in equal time even if the goldmines are the same distance off of them. thats becaus the intern wc3 pathfinding system is not flawless and some units take awkward edgy paths on their way.

Ty diod, didnt expect it 2 be so easy...

Trigger:
  • Untitled Trigger 005
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set G_mine_1 = Gold Mine 0104 <gen>
      • Set G_point_x = (X of (Position of G_mine_1))
      • Set G_point_y = (Y of (Position of G_mine_1))
      • Set G_mirror = (Point((G_point_x x -1.00), (G_point_y x -1.00)))
      • Unit - Create 1 Gold Mine for Neutral Passive at G_mirror facing Default building facing degrees


I didnt know that the scales x;y equaled 0 in the centre of the map :DDD

they do by default but they dont if you change the map size unequally afterwards. its not 100% failsafe. but still, where is the problem to place them by hand?

I agree. Where's the problem of placing by hand? Just count the cells or even just place it by what you see, It's won't matter a lot if a units comes to the same spot 2 seconds earlier or later.

accuratley placed distances + inaccurate terains equals random awesomeness... this is what makes good maps good

Now with my trigger i can get the mirrored point in under a minute instead of counting xd

    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

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