have you played Bomber Command? unit drops bombs? i am not a JASS user, so i dont really know how to make air drops bomb like that. if you guys can give me some hints.

also, have you played Command and Conquer General? theres some air-strike abilities. i am trying make a similar spell like that. when a hero target a point or an area, a bomber(air unit, let say a Flying Machine) will fly in and drop bomb into that area or point. any idea how to make that happen? or is this even possible to make with GUI trigger? i know this sounds complicated, but if you have any hints or tips, that will be great. Thanks!

First, I would start by creating a new unit that is the air unit you want to bomb. Then, create a new ability based on channel. Finally, use a trigger that fires when the ability is used that creates one of the bomber units, orders it to attack ground where the ability was targeted, then remove it afterward. I'm not sure if it would work, but it's somewhere to start.:D

You could probably do it in GUI, but there would be no way to make it MUI. That rhymed.

For mine, I used items that summons suiciders ;). And make them do self destruct when they land.

finally i found what i want. maybe you can try it. to adjust the plane speed, just change the time. instead of every 0.01 second. change to higher to make it slower. should not higher than 0.3. but theres a problem for the fuel bomb, i am trying to fix the green cloud. it seems the green cloud doesnt disappear after the bomb explode. it remains forever. heres the map, maybe you can fix if you have time. and if you find out how to fix the green cloud trigger, plz post it here. thanks.

    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.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
