Giving a builder the ability to build a building

As title says, how do I do this?
I believe I have everything right, but the button isn't showing up in-game, even though everything I have is identical to the original Probe build ability (with the exception of my buildings)

Thanks, will try this out when I get a chance.

EDIT:
Actually, that tutorial has nothing to do with my problem, I created my own build skill and it won't show up...

Have you added the icon to the Command Card of your probe?

Lets try this again. (Maybe my power will stay on this time)

As I was going to post earlier, to get your builder to build just like a probe,scv,drone with a build menu your going to need a few extra steps then what Jaccaren said, though he is right about what he said.

Keep in mind the name of things might be a little different, I'm currently at work and as such am not around a Editor.

  1. Add the custom build ability to your builder(I assume you've done this)
  2. Go to the command card and add a build button.
  3. Below the comman card their is a field called "Command Type" you need to make this into submenu. This should give you a couple of additional options. Open submenu and close submenu.
  4. Choose open submenu you should get an option to choose what submenu number to choose, pick 2 as I believe one is the main command card.
  5. Next go back to the Command Card and select Command card 2. In this command Card you will add all the building icons your builder can build just make sure to leave one slot open(if you need more button places create another submenu).
  6. In this open slot you need to put the cancel that way you can return to the main command window. To do this you need to follow step 3 and 4 except choosing close submenu at step 4

Now that you have done this all the icons are linked to an action whether its to move to a different submenu or the ability to build. Let me know if you have any problems.

I believe I have done all that, but it made me think of trying something slightly different from what I did. I'll try it when ever I can (not as soon as last time)

    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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.
