Help with an easy variable

So, I have this quest you get at the start of a map, and later on you enter a region and the quest will be completed, and for that to happen, I need a variable, right?

Thing is, I don't remember anything about variables.
I made something like this:
Code:
 Set L = (Last created quest)
Problem is, that I can't (or, I have not seen) how to set the "L" to be my quest. At the end of the first cinematic, you'll get a quest, and I can't choose to set L to "Murloc Village" for some reason.

So, could someone explain to me EXACTLY what I need to do?
Thanks. :)

Create the quest using the Quest - Create Quest function, and then set L to last created quest directly beneath that.

Ah okay, I thought I had to select the quest instead of just typing a name.

Anyway, just one more thing:
I know how to issue a unit to move to a region, but how do I make all units belonging to a player do that? (The reason to why I can't just do the same to every unit on the map is because the player can hire more soldiers from mercenary camps, and it would be a lot more work)

Code:
Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Player 1 (Red))) and do:
 Loop - Actions:
  Order (Picked unit) to Move To <region>

This leaks a unit group, by the way, so I recommend doing

Code:
Set Temp_Group = Units owned by (Player 1 (Red))
Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do:
 Loop - Actions
  Order (Picked unit) to Move To <region>
Custom Script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

Trigger:
  • Unit
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set Gen_TempGroup1 = (Units owned by Player 1 (Red))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Gen_TempGroup1 and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set Gen_TempLocation1 = (Center of (Playable map area))
          • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to Gen_TempLocation1
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Gen_TempLocation1)
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Gen_TempGroup1)

This one to do it leakless.

This one leaks at
Code:
Set Temp_Group = Units owned by (Player 1 (Red))
Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do:
 Loop - Actions
  Order (Picked unit) to Move To [B]<region>[/B] [B]<-- Leaks 'Point'[/B]
Custom Script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group)

Ah, use his, I missed the point leak. >.>

I should've put more effort into trying to get back to sleep when I woke up at 4am.

Thanks! I forgot to mention one thing though.
The move all player 1 units to a region, only happens at the end of the map, during the cinematic. Could someone change the trigger to make it fit my explanation?
Thanks. :) :thup:

If it's for any good: There won't be any more units created during the last cinematic.

We don't really have the rest of your trigger mate.

Just take those lines I showed you there, put them in the cinema trigger, and they will fire when the cinema gets to that point? :)

    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
