I like the effects of the ultimate, and I reckon your triggers can be shortened further.

For e.g, Shadow Split, it can be (100 + (level of ability * 50)) giving you the same amount, instead of 150, 200, 250 resulting in one large chunk of actions.

The same for your pet trigger, instead of 1, 1, 1, do "Set blah to (level of Demonology of Triggering Unit)" etc. It can shorten way madly, and how come that ability has 10 levels lol.

Also you can simplify that with a some loops

The leaks are all those Offset Points

is the Point and Offset an entirely different leak? If so how would i fix the offset one :D

yes it's another point inside a point :p set The offset to a point and use in that OffSetVariablePoint the VariablePoint that you setted for tha caster.

Code:
set YourPointOffSetVariableThatYouWantAndItisAVariablePoint=(Demon_Attune_Point offset by (0.00, 180.00))

Of course don't use that name :p Maybe you want also to make the variable an array

        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Demon_Attune_SE_Offset_Points[2])
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Demon_Attune_SE_Offset_Points[3])

Could be
Code:
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Demon_Attune_SE_Offset_Points[bj_forLoopAIndex])

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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
