you already have timerutils in your map, you don't need to copy it again...

also... CSSafety is deprecated

delete one TimerUtils trigger that you use, you only need one, not two...

the same goes for lots of other systems.

you don't need a copy of something that you got

In my map it doesn't work and i can't understand what the problem. If you can fix it, i'll thank you very much.

JASS:
library TimerUtils initializer init
//*********************************************************************
//* TimerUtils (red+blue+orange flavors for 1.24b+)
//* ----------
//*
//*  To implement it , create a custom text trigger called TimerUtils
//* and paste the contents of this script there.
//*
//*  To copy from a map to another, copy the trigger holding this
//* library to your map.
//*
//* (requires vJass)   More scripts: htt://www.wc3c.net
//*
//* For your timer needs:
//*  * Attaching
//*  * Recycling (with double-free protection)
//*
//* set t=NewTimer()      : Get a timer (alternative to CreateTimer)
//* ReleaseTimer(t)       : Relese a timer (alt to DestroyTimer)
//* SetTimerData(t,2)     : Attach value 2 to timer
//* GetTimerData(t)       : Get the timer&#039;s value.
//*                         You can assume a timer&#039;s value is 0
//*                         after NewTimer.
//*
//* Multi-flavor:
//*    Set USE_HASH_TABLE to true if you don&#039;t want to complicate your life.
//*
//* If you like speed and giberish try learning about the other flavors.

JASS:
library CSSafety requires TimerUtils
endlibrary

Try this.
Implement TimerUtils and replace the code in CSSafety with the new CSSafety library.

I meant what is the problem for "it doesn't work"? :)
Jasshelper threw error or Warcraft 3 won't launch the map?

It means: when I was on my map, if the system operates, every hero level up will add AS_Abil for heroes. But in my map as heroes level up, no matter what happens, when this system may be installed so

it uses NewTimer/ReleaseTimer

so any variant should work fine.

remember you have to manually register units with [ljass]AS_Enable takes unit u, integer i[/ljass] where i is the number of stat points to grant each level. 1 unit/player max.

    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
