More details. What does warp back means?

Its like a duel only with teams? Who wins the duel gets xp and gold and all heroes are teleported back to base?

The game restarts? A spell that warps units back in time?

WARP has a lot of meanings. Explain yours

first of all, your triggers leak like hell.

back to topic:
i guess these lines:
Trigger:
  • # Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player) matching ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Stash))) and do (Actions)
    • * Loop - Actions
      • o Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Center of Team A <gen>)

i guess the problem is the conditions used for this trigger.
you check for the number of units within the unit-groups but you never remove any units from these groups as far as i see.
i think you made a mistake by thinking that dead units are removed from a unitgroup by default but they aint. the units might be dead but they are still within the unitgroup. thats why the triggers do not fire.

thanks, i fixed all the leaks
so I just have to make a new trigger with the condition "a unit dies" and then remove dying unit from the unit group?

Problem is, I can not destroy the Arena_UnitGroup[x] because it is a periodic timer but it wont cause a lot of leaks or will it?
P.S.: Is the trigger to remove dying unit correct?

do your triggers work?

why do you do this:
Trigger:
  • Trigger - Turn on Warp Back <gen>
    • Trigger - Run Warp Back <gen> (ignoring conditions)

the second action is rather useless, i doubt the duel will be over just the moment it started and ignoring the conditions aint a good method here either. just remove the second line i'd say.

and why cant you destroy the groups? of course you can

Group don't leak as long as they're used or not reassigned (Multiple instances of a function that uses udg_Group = CreateGroup())

well i am talking about this lines:

Trigger:
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Global_UnitGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set Arena_UnitGroup[1] = (Units in Arena 1 <gen> matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Random player from PlayerGroup[2])) Equal to True))
      • Set Arena_UnitGroup[2] = (Units in Arena 1 <gen> matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Random player from PlayerGroup[1])) Equal to True))


I am not able to destroy them because i still have to remove units from it

well then i guess your trigger doesnt fire at all. add some message at the very top of the trigger. this way you will know whether the event occurs and the conditions are met. thats the first thing to check.

somehow the trigger wont work;
i figuerd out a new one:

Trigger:
  • Warp Back
    • Events
      • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
      • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • (Number of units in Arena_UnitGroup[1]) Equal to 0
          • (Number of units in Arena_UnitGroup[2]) Equal to 0
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Number of units in Arena_UnitGroup[2]) Equal to 0
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Arena_UnitGroup[1] and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Set TeamA_WarpBack_Loc = (Center of Team A <gen>)
              • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to TeamA_WarpBack_Loc
              • Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Picked unit)) to TeamA_WarpBack_Loc over 0.00 seconds
          • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Team A has won the ...
          • Trigger - Run Arena Timer <gen> (checking conditions)
          • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Else - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

does this one work? or do you still have problems?

Well I tested against bots, it worked how it should, now i will remove the leaks.
But I am not sure if the trigger will bug o_o because of the "if-then-else" in the "else" condition
 
General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
