Alright guys,

I found something, this link shows a screenshot I uploaded

http://i.imgur.com/2U1Hl.jpg

A lot of my tiny questions/posts here has something to do with this map that I'm trying to make

If you look carefully, you see a few 'gates' and a few 'key's
The gates can only be opened if you picked up the right key (colors matches)
I got about 25/30 of these levels in my map increasing the niveau by level
Each level contains keys/gates and in later levels even more

I got a lot questions about this but I'm not gonna ask them all
Can somebody just tell me what is the most SIMPLE way to create this?
I can figure it out how I create this but it will cost me over 100 triggers/effects/behaviors/regions/unit groups etc...

I didn't know where to post this so I just created a new thread
Can somebody help me please?

Well I would look at using behaviours or upgrades to say when a player has a key. Do you have any idea on how the gates will be opened? Does is happen automatically when your unit gets close? If so are you using the data editor to do it or triggers? Or does the player need to attack/kill the gate to open it? Knowing a bit more about how gates are opened might give me a better idea on how to go about this.

Till now I did the following things:

- a region called 'key follow' which attached to your unit
- any red key which enters region 'key follow' will disappear and adds 1 behavior 'red key' to your unit ( so you can see in the unit which keys you picked up)

- I created another region called 'gate follow' which is also attached to your unit
- any red gate which enters region 'gate follow' will disappear and removes 1 behavior 'red key' from your unit
- I made a condition in the 'gate trigger' that checks if your unit has the behavior 'red key'

- I played a sound effect when the 'keys'/'gates' enters the region

- I created this triggers for all color 'keys' and 'gates' there are


- if your unit gets killed, then you must play the level over (in later levels there will be enemies)
- if you complete the level, then your 'level chooser' (unit) must be able to play the same level

so especially this is the part I'm getting stuck, if the playing unit dies or completes a level, how do I set all things again?

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    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.

    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
