I want an ability that gives a damage bonus like Item Damage Bonus/Command Aura, and isnt aura based and shows an icon. I keep looking but i cant find one.


MORE INFO:

In my map I have a spellbook with 4 different Command Aura based abilities to give a unit damage. I can essentially toggle them on/off using techtrees (the abilities require a unit - i can create / kill that unit). The problem with using abilities based off of Command Aura is that when I "toggle" one of the spells off, the buff and the damage bonus hang around for a couple seconds.

So basically I have a few options:

1. Stick with the Command Aura based abilities and just deal with the short overlap between taking away an ability and the buff going away.
2. Use two different abilities, one for the icon (based off att bonus or something) and then a hidden item damage bonus spell. (The problem with this one is that I have to do a lot of scripting for when I toggle the abilities)
3. realize that there is a unit ability that adds damage and has an icon but isnt an aura based ability (i swear i've looked all over)

I guess it's possible to use Critical Strike or Drunken Brawler, if you don't mind the floating text popping up with each attack.

> buff and the damage bonus hang around for a couple seconds

In the toggle trigger, just add an extra code to pick all units around the unit with Command Aura, and remove the said buff.

Or you could just use the Item Damage bonus ability itself, and then use the Moonglaive ability for the icon (it does nothing).

I remembered something - the Trueshot Aura ability. It gives bonus damage, so just set Flat Bonus to true and set targets allowed to self.

Actually it was vypur's solution that works out best for my situation. But thanks to everyone that responded!

    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.

    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
