I am working on a spell called Storm Hammer. Basically it should be a hammer that is thrown at an enemy unit dealing Strength in damage and stunning the target and then it jumps to another enemy unit dealing the same damage and same stun. I do not know JASS so I tried to do it in GUI. Here is my trigger:

Storm Hammer
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Storm Hammer
Actions
Set TempUnit = (Casting unit)
Set TempUnit2 = (Target unit of ability being cast)
Set TempLoc = (Position of TempUnit2)
Set TempGroup = (Units within 600.00 of TempLoc matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of TempUnit)) Equal to True))))
Wait ((Distance between (Position of TempUnit) and TempLoc) / 1000.00) game-time seconds
Unit - Cause TempUnit to damage TempUnit2, dealing ((1.00 + (1.00 x (Real((Level of Storm Hammer for TempUnit))))) x (Real((Strength of TempUnit (Include bonuses))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from TempGroup) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Create 1 Wisp for (Owner of TempUnit) at (Position of TempUnit2) facing Default building facing degrees
Set Casting_Unit = (Last created unit)
Unit - Add Stun to Casting_Unit
Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to Casting_Unit
Unit - Order Casting_Unit to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Picked unit)
Wait ((Distance between (Position of Casting_Unit) and (Position of (Picked unit))) / 1000.00) game-time seconds
Unit - Cause TempUnit to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((1.00 + (1.00 x (Real((Level of Storm Hammer for TempUnit))))) x (Real((Strength of TempUnit (Include bonuses))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
Custom script: call DestroyGroup( udg_TempGroup )
Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempLoc )

Basically the problem is that the first target receives the damage and the stun but the second target doesnt get it. It sometimes receives the stun but the damage is still not received. I removed the waits to see if it will work and it worked partially, but again sometimes the target didn't get stunned or damaged (the second target). Any help will be appreciated :)

I think the damage+effect depend on two things here. You may damage+stun the same unit again, and your waits may overlap at some point.

    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
