How can I detect a unit being transported

The trigger won't add mana if the unit is loaded into the building that can hold it. It does work since it removes mana. So I believe the Condition is at fault here.
Trigger:
  • Set Villager_Choose = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Villager (Male)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Villager_Choose and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is being transported) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) + 4.00)
            • Player - Add 2 to (Player((Integer A))) Current lumber
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) - 0.50)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Villager_Choose)

Disregard the addition of lumber.

i think that transported means 'unit in Goblin Zeppelin', not in a building ?_?
It's the goblin Zeppelin cargo and load ability applied to a building. Technically the unit is being "carried" by the building.

let me ask, the unit in the building. what is happening, why are your trying to trigger this? there may be a work around.

also, I think orc burrow would probably be better than zeppelin if your just trying to house units

I want so that while the unit is inside the tent for it to regain mana instead of lose mana every few seconds. But I can't find a way to detect if the unit is inside the tent.

thats easy. use [pause/unpause unit] on load and unload. you wouldn't need to detect then mostly.

After going back through it here is what I found
--------------------------------------------------------------
load
Events
Unit - A unit Is loaded into a transport
Conditions
Load (Goblin Zeppelin) Equal to (Ability being cast)
Actions
Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
----------------------------------------------------------------
unload
Events
Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
Conditions
(Issued order) Equal to (Order((Name of Unload (Air Transports))))
Actions
Unit - Unpause (Leaving unit)
-------------------------------------------------------------
now i sped through it really fast so i am 99.9% sure i missed stuff that could make it better.

But what does that have to do with detecting a unit that is currently inside a transport?

Why would you need a unit group? Why don't you just use a condition for unit-type?

Trigger:
  • Transport
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Is loaded into a transport
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Loading unit)) Equal to Mountain King
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Set mana of (Loading unit) to ((Mana of (Loading unit)) + 4.00)
        • Else - Actions
          • Unit - Set mana of (Loading unit) to ((Mana of (Loading unit)) - 0.50)

The trigger will only work WHEN the unit is loaded, I want it to work as long as the unit is inside the transport.

Ok. Well I think I have it. You can switch the triggers to fit your map style. I just used "Life" because footman obviously don't have mana.

But I tested this, and every 1 second of the game, the footman does lose HP every 1 second, unless he is in the zeppelin, then he gains +4 hp every 1 second while in the zeppelin.

Trigger:
  • Loaded
    • Events
      • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set UnitGroup = (Units in (Entire map) matching ((Unit-type of (Matching unit)) Equal to Footman))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) - 1.00))
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)
      • Set UnitGroup = (Units owned by (Player((Player number of (Picked player)))) matching (((Matching unit) is being transported) Equal to True))
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + 4.00))
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)

Try this out. If it's not what you want, I'll see what else I can do.

    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
