Create units with that model at X point around the Caster unit.

Create 5 dummy units and create lighting effects between them.

^To the above post - wtf? That won't work...

Well you will need to have different angles for each one. Experiment. Or google up the angle of a pentagon from the centerpoint. Or maybe draw up a pentagon and use a protractor.

The lighting effects, basically just have each dummy cast a life drain on next dummy clockwise. Give them 99999 hp and the life drain 0 drain.

Points - that's for you to find out by trying many times. I ment positioning them in form of a pentagon around the caster.

Lightning effects - Use triggers.

Code: 
Lightning - Create Lightning Effect

Hmmm... Using triggers doesn't require units at all. Only points.

Edit: Angles = 360 : 5 = 72
A point every 72' 100-500 units away from the caster (or how many you want).

Stop double posting. The edit button is your friend.

And now you have to create the units thats what, you need to figure out the angles to the corners of a pentagon from the center (I don't know that, google) and the offset would be how far you want it to be away.

You know how to trigger? Because using the unit metod requires triggering (and hard).

Use a Trigger:
Code: 
Events
  Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
  Ability beeing cast equal to "Your Pentagon Ability"
Actions
  set Point = Unit Position of Triggering Unit
  set Point1 = (Point) offset by 200 towards 270 degrees (That's up)
  set Point2 = (Point) offset by 200 towards 342 degrees
  set Point3 = (Point) offset by 200 towards 54 degrees
  set Point4 = (Point) offset by 200 towards 126 degrees
  set Point5 = (Point) offset by 200 towards 198 degrees
  custom script: call RemoveLocation (Udg_Point)
  Create a "Any Lightning Effect" (Use Finger of Death for a red one) lightning effect from source Point1 to target Point2
  set Lightning1 = Last Created Lightning Effect
  Create a "Any Lightning Effect" (Use Finger of Death for a red one) lightning effect from source Point2 to target Point3

To make the spell MPI (for several players to be able to use it) use arrays.
A nice trigger without memory leaks ^^

Well, it creates a pentagon out of Lightnings (Even red ones) and holds them for "How much do you want" seconds then they disappear.

Other than that I don't know what your spell does -_-, but y, for the pentagon effect - that's it.

The area of effect should be 210-220, since I used 200 at the beggining of the trigger (you can set the 5 numbers to any number you like to make it bigger/smaller).

Well i am late...but here goes...an even easier version.
This moves the pentagon where ever the caster moves.....whats more its leakless.
Play around with the angles and the points to get different results.....
Just be sure if you increase the sides....increase the array size of the Lightning Variable.

Code: 
Pentagon
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

        (Ability being cast) Equal to Create Polygon

        For each (Integer A) from 1 to Sides, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Lightning - Destroy PentagonLight[(Integer A)]
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to Sides, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set pos1 = (Position of Pentagon_caster)
                Set pos2 = (pos1 offset by Size towards ((360.00/(Interger(Sides))) x (Real((Integer A)) + (Facing of Pentagon_caster)) degrees))
                Set pos3 = (pos1 offset by Size towards ((360.00/(Interger(Sides)) x (Real(((Integer A) + 1))+ (Facing of Pentagon_caster)) degrees))

                Set PentagonLight[(Integer A)] = (Last created lightning effect)
        Countdown Timer - Start Pentagon_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 10.00 seconds
        Trigger - Turn on Pentagon Move <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on Pentagon Expires <gen>
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

                Set pos3 = (pos1 offset by Size towards ((360.00/(Interger(Sides)) x (Real(((Integer A) + 1))+ (Facing of Pentagon_caster)) degrees))
                Lightning - Move PentagonLight[(Integer A)] to source pos2 and target pos3

                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_pos2)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_pos3)

    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
