Hi all, I have created this trigger to let a building train a unit(eg. grunt) and move the trained unit to a particular area (eg. region A), with the condition being that "the player owns less than 8 grunts in region A".
i want this trigger to LOOP, ie, the training of units continue on and on, unless of course the "condition" as stated above is not fulfilled. How do i do that ? Thanks !!

Create 2 variables, 1 Unit Group and 1 Point

Code: 
Events
    Time - Every [...] seconds of the game
Conditions
    (Units in (GruntGroup) Less than or Equal to 8
Actions
    Set LocA = (Random Point in (Region A))
    Unit - Create 1 Grunt for (Player) at (*LocA) facing Default facing degrees
    Unit Group - Add (Last Created Unit) in GruntGroup
    *Unit - Order (Last Created Unit) to Attack - Move to (LocA)
    Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_LocA)

Code: 
Event
    Unit - A unit dies
Conditions
    (Unit type of (Triggering Unit)) Equal to Grunt
Actions
    Unit - Remove (Triggering Unit) from GruntGroup

In this kind of triggering, even though the unit isn't in the GruntGroup and is removed, the GruntGroup value will still not get reduction..

If you are looking for Training Type then use these.

Create 2 variables, 1 point and 1 integer
Code: 
Events
    The same in first trigger
Conditions
    (TotalGrunt) Less than or equal to 8
Actions
    Unit - Order [Barracks] to train/upgrade [Grunt]
    Set TotalGrunt = (TotalGrunt + 1)

Code: 
Event
    Unit - A unit dies
Conditions
    (Unit type of (Triggering Unit)) Equal to Grunt
Actions
    Set TotalGrunt = (TotalGrunt - 1)

The only thing here is that even though the Grunts that were trained but aren't suppose to be with the TotalGrunt then it will also - the integer value...

and this....

Code: 
move unit to region after trained
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Grunt
    Actions
        Set LocA = (Random point in Region A <gen>)
        Unit - Order (Trained unit) to Move To LocA
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_LocA)

Hi all, thanks for all the help, let me summarise again what i need to do : i need the enemy barracks to start training orcs once the human player sends a unit to a particular area, then, the training will CONTINUE continuously regardless of whether the human player has any units in that area. I have created my trigger as such :

Trigger 1
Events
Unit in area = 1
Conditions
Unit belongs to Player 1 (human player)
Actions
activates trigger 2

Trigger 2 (ENABLED, INITIALLY OFF)
Events
Time - Every [...] seconds of the game
Conditions
(TotalGrunt) Less than or equal to 8
Actions
Unit - Order [Barracks] to train/upgrade [Grunt]

Trigger 3
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes training a unit
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Grunt
Actions
Unit - Order (Trained unit) to Move To LocA

HOWEVER, the problem that i have is that the comupter barracks will stop training orcs when player 1 no longer has any unit in that specified area, and the training will start again when player 1 sends a unit to that area. What I want is for the training to start ONCE player 1 has a unit in that area, BUT it should continue to fire endlessly(provided that the condition of <8 orcs in area) once it is started. Please help me !! thanks !!

Try this, don't make it Initially Off, make the first trigger create the event for the 2nd trigger..

Adding the event is somewhere in the (Trigger -) column

    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
