Ive made an ability which is called Guardian's Will.

(copied for WE)
(passive)
"Guardians will:"
"Deals bonus damage equal to how much health you are missing."

"Level 1: You deal 4% of your missing health in damage."
"Level 2: You deal 5% of your missing health in damage."
etc...

My trigger looks like:

Code:
Guardians Will
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Honor Guard
        (Level of Guardian's Will  for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
    Actions
        Wait 0.10 seconds
        Unit - Cause (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit), dealing ((0.03 + (0.01 x (Real((Level of Guardian's Will  for (Attacking unit)))))) x ((Max life of (Attacking unit)) - (Life of (Attacking unit)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
Thats the trigger, (know its not the best). Still its working good, except for a bug i found. The event "Unit - A unit Is attacked" is triggered when your unit begins to attack. Which means if you order your hero to attack, the enemy will take the damage, but if you then press STOP before your hero has hit the enemy, the ability damage will be made but not the normal damage. So if you rapidly click attack and stop, the ability damage will damage the enemy damn quick. Ok so now i found this bug but im like :confused: i've no idea how to fix it. Maybe you know?

Oww i didnt know it was that hard... When i think about it theres an hero in Dot (aww almost said the bad word). Well the Hero Barathrum has an ability which deals bonus damage equal to your movespeed. I bet that they have fixed it ^^. If not, i can bug D*tA yay! Well if it is in Jass only... I can make it by myself. I know nothing about Jass. But if anyone can make the trigger for me :D. I would be very happy then.

Actually what the system does, is that when you call a custom function the System adds all the current units to an event (EVENT_UNIT_TAKES_DAMAGE i think) and puts it in the trigger. Also creates another trigger to detect whenever a unit is create and then again create the event for that unit.

I think that's like this how it works

My map is a herowars like so if you add all unit to the trigger that spawns i bet the map gets laggy and such. Well i could make the trigger simpler, like it only work on heros. Ill test that until i get a better idea ^^
Thanks for all anyway.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Oh no... now i did something terribly wrong ^^
Code:
Guardians Will
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Honor Guard
        (Level of Guardian's Will  for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
        ((Attacked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Trigger - Add to Guardians Will2 <gen> the event (Unit - (Attacked unit) Takes damage)

Code:
Guardians Will2
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing ((0.03 + (0.01 x (Real((Level of Guardian's Will  for (Attacking unit)))))) x ((Max life of (Attacking unit)) - (Life of (Attacking unit)))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Lol i forgot to change the "Attacking unit" and all that triggers :D
So when i hit the unit the game gets a fatal error or something ^^

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im freaking out. I have no idea why this isnt working! Everytime my hero attacks Wc3 closes down. :mad:

This is the triggers ive made:

Code:
Guardians Will
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters (Entire map)
    Conditions
        ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Trigger - Add to Guardians Will2 <gen> the event (Unit - (Entering unit) Takes damage)


Code:
Guardians Will2
    Events
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Damage source)) Equal to Honor Guard
    Actions
        Set DmgedUnit = (Triggering unit)
        Set DmgSource = (Damage source)
        Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage DmgedUnit, dealing ((0.03 + (0.01 x (Real((Level of Guardian's Will  for DmgSource))))) x ((Max life of DmgSource) - (Life of DmgSource))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Anyone can se the error?

This trigger will work if your hero gives damage from spell, so it'll be an unlimited loop!

Remember :
-hero attacks
-order the hero to damage by spell
-unit takes damage by the hero
-so, trigger will order your hero damage that unit again by spells
-so on... until the attacked unit dies
-(maybe) corpses takes damage
-still an unlimited loop

Fix :
Create an dummy hero (hero because it'll do to the killing text) then order this dummy hero to damage unit so it won't loop

In other words, the trigger is triggered when the unit is damaged, but because you damage the unit in the trigger itself, it will cause an unlimited loop, which causes crash.

Code:
Turn off (This Trigger)
Cause Damage
Turn on (This Trigger)

This way it will work right.

    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
