Is there a way to make the bugs transparent, ive tryed a transparency trigger for Unit Type but it didnt seem to work, is it possible?

What do you mean transparent, when you use the spell you don't see anything?

What do you mean when they blend?
Could you give the exact name of the ability?

Its not a Ability, Its a trigger

Code:
Animation - Change (Locust)'s vertex coloring to (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) with 60.0% transparency

But I cant get it to work on them. Add that to a unit and you'll see what I mean.

A unit with the ability "Locust" can't be selected and such
It could be because of this.

Ive changed my Event to Ability being cast, Starts Effect, Begins Channeling, and 100% transparency but still nothing.

How about, in the ability, you change the model art to none?

You can't. A unit with the ability Locust can't be selected through triggers... You can store the unit with a variable, but since you are using it in Locust Swarm, it creates new units every time it's casted, so you can't.
The only possible way is modifying the locust model and adding transparence to it, but I'm not sure how (I think it's not that hard).

y not just change the model of the locust swarm to none or the rifleman missle (which is nothing)
Sorry, already suggested by kc102, but anyway if you really wanted to change the bugs, you could edit the bugs manually in the object editor and change their transparency (i think)

It works with Unit Group of Unit Type, but not others.

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
