And for the spells

why is it everywhere:
Code: 
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        TOD_Level Equal to 1
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 50.00)
                    Else - Actions

        Wait 2.00 seconds
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_TOD_CasterPoint)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_TOD_CasterTarget)
        Lightning - Destroy TOD_Lightning
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability -> We use "Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability" here.
For the simple reason that mana has already been used and cooldown has started. Begins happens before mana/cooldown.
On communal maps, or some minor b.net lag, it's almost always possible to cancel
the spell before you use any mana, but you still get the effect from the trigger,
which is rigged, basically imba, and most of all, not wanted.

Special Effect - Create a special effect at Temp_TOD_CasterTarget using.. -> This line leaks a special effect.
All it needs, is a "Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)" line directly afterwards.

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 100.00 of Temp_TOD_CasterTarget) -> This line leaks a unit group.
Add a Custom Script containing, "set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true" directly
before that action. That way, it's destroyed after use, which is what we want.

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) -> This big, messy, ugly, bulging mass of "Ifs" and "Elses" really
is not needed. I'll explain how to remove it further forward.

Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 50.00) -> Setting the life of units to damage them is not "right" - its wrong :).
The caster will not gain bounty or exp from the units that it "killed" with the spell. Use the "Unit - Damage Target" action - that will award those things.

Do nothing -> You don't need to fill up that extra space with a Do nothing
action - it's doing nothing anyway! It's a function defined in Blizzard.j:
JASS:
function DoNothing takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

As you can see... it's not doing much.
Basically, you waste time on a function call that adds no value.

Now, we can come back to the messy bunch of "Ifs" and "Elses" :)
Delete them all, and simply add a "Unit - Cause Temp_TOD_Caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing (50.00 x (Real(TOD_Level))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal" line instead.

It does the same thing, but saves all those lines, and makes your code look
more efficient. Not to mention it is more efficient. Much more efficient.
You should use formulas like the one I showed you above in future.

Your optimized/leakless trigger:
Code: 
Touch of Death Fixed
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Touch of Death 
    Actions
        Set Temp_TOD_Caster = (Triggering unit)
        Set TOD_Level = (Level of Touch of Death  for Temp_TOD_Caster)
        Set Temp_TOD_CasterPoint = (Position of Temp_TOD_Caster)
        Set Temp_TOD_CasterTarget = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Lightning - Create a Drain Life lightning effect from source Temp_TOD_CasterPoint to target Temp_TOD_CasterTarget
        Set TOD_Lightning = (Last created lightning effect)
        Special Effect - Create a special effect at Temp_TOD_CasterTarget using Abilities\Spells\Other\Charm\CharmTarget.mdl
        Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        Custom script:   set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 100.00 of Temp_TOD_CasterTarget) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Cause Temp_TOD_Caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing (50.00 x (Real(TOD_Level))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
                [COLOR="Green"]//You could also add SFX to the picked units here[/COLOR]
        Wait 2.00 seconds
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_TOD_CasterPoint)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_TOD_CasterTarget)
        Lightning - Destroy TOD_Lightning

Drain Life

Again, the big bunch of Ifs and Elses aren't needed.
Instead, a single variable with an array size of 1 can do the trick.

Your whole trigger can be simplified down to this:
Code: 
Drain Life
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Drain Life 
    Actions
        Set DL_Amount[1] = 85.00
        Set DL_Amount[2] = 160.00
        Set DL_Amount[3] = 250.00
        Set DL_Amount[4] = 325.00
        Set DL_Level = (Level of Drain Life  for (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) + DL_Amount[DL_Level])
Which makes me wonder.. "is it worth it"?
I've also already made a life drain spell very similar. Find it here.

I tried that, wouldn't let me add Reals.

    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
