Help with a Food Trigger

I'm making a map, and in this map you start with 10 food (and can only get a maximum of 10 food), and every quarter day (120 seconds) you lose 5 food. When it reaches 0, your unit loses 20hp every 2 seconds and gets a spell effect until the unit gets his food past 0. You can gain 2 food be eating cooked meat, and 1 food for eating raw meat. I do this by using Chickens that count as 1 food (perm-invis, invulnerable, size 0, no selection, no minimap view of the unit, and no attack). I use 2 different variables for each player: RedFood (integer) and RedChicken (Unit-Group). RedFood keeps track of the actual Food count so I know when to take away food and when to start damaging the unit. At the start I spawn the 10 chickens for Red and add them to the food group and set RedFood to 10. Every 120 seconds I lower RedFood by 5 and kill 10 random units from RedChicken. The problem is that for some reason the food lowers by 4 every quarter day instead of 5, and the unit takes damage when it hits 3 instead of 0. I have 5 triggers for this:

Can somebody please tell me what I did wrong? I am really stumped here.

I appreciate the help! Thanks ahead of time to anybody who helps.

On trigger 8 y dont you have it Less than or equal too instead of just less than?
and in trigger 3 does the Tumman have Drunken Haze? you have to give it to him if he doesnt. (this can be done by a simple trigger but u should just edit the tumman to have drunken haze)

I set it to 0 so that whenever the quarter/half day ends, and it subtracts -5 from RedFood, it doesn't go into the negatives and screw up the trigger. Why set it to 0 when it already equals 0?

Dude im talkin about Less than or Equal to, no 0

But why just set it to 0 if it equals 0? Less than or equal to 0 will set it to 0 when a unit dies. So what difference does it make if it's less than 0 or less than or equal to 0?

Yes, he does have Drunken Haze. Well, it's actually a custom ability, but it was based off of Drunken Haze. That's not the problem though, the unit does get the "Haze" and they lose everything like they should, but instead of losing 5 a day, 4 a day is lost...and the unit starts to lose hp and gets hazed when he still has 3 food.

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