Hi people,
I based a lightning ability from flame strike and would like to know if this cause too much leaks.

Ok, this ability cause leaks.
If some other unit pump when the ability is being casted, the lightning effects will jump to that unit with polar offset.
Every 0.5 seconds a lightining appears from the sky (doodad one) during the ability's duration..

So, what do I have to do?
I did a condition that on the 2nd and 3rd levels the ability lasts for more seconds (and more lightnings appears)

Thanks in advance!

Code:
Lightning Strike
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Lightning Strike 
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1

Position of Last Created Unit, set that into a variable and then destroy it.

And please, use code tags instead of a spoiler. It's hard to read the code
I only used spoiler on /Then and /Else cause they are too big.

Position of Last Created Unit, set that into a variable and then destroy it.
Ok, is it easy to do? Ill try...

Search for a leak tutorial, that'll help you clear the leaks.
I found some leak tuts, but didn't figure how to correct my trigger.

The map is attached.

EDIT:
1- Mistakes
2- Ok, I got the scroll point. But I coded the trigger and thought that the spoiler inside of it would also be scrolled. Forget! Now I see that I quoted instead of coded. Sorry, I edited it again and now its coded.

Solve your leak like this:

Set dummyloc = Position of (last created unit)
Create 1 dummy for player 1 at dummyloc facing default degrees
call RemoveLocation(udg_dummyloc)

Ok, I only misclicked the right icon on the entry form.

@Draphoelix
Is it an integer? I cound't get that position of unit (last created unit) on the Integer list.
EDIT:
Maybe Set dummyloc = (Target point of ability being cast) would be more leakless, cos its an Event Response. Using Last Created can set this to a far Barracks training Grunts on enemy's base.



EDIT:

Maybe can I make the first dummy last for all the Spell's duration. Set it a variable and make other lightinings offset from it. But this won't solve the "wait" problem.
Got that is a Point variable! Woah! Same time that Flare come to say that.

EDIT: New map added.

    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
