I don't really know how to make this but a suggestion:
Not everyone does actually know what skill Bloodseeker has in DotA.
And he doesn't gain attack speed, just movement speed :p .

Good luck with this spell ;) !

ok my bad lol... ill try and explain it better. the Bloodseeker in dota has a skill that when a unit with a certain % of health left is in certain range of him, he gains vision of that unit and alot of movement speed.

I dont think its possible without putting the item in first and putting a region in. Giving vision of an item is rlly hard.
Is your item preset?

my item starts on the ground yes... then at map initialization it is given to a hero and when the hero dies he drops the item.. so the could you somehow make a temp region where ever the item is dropped?

Ok i think i can help you now.
Ok have a trigger that goes something like this.

E: a unit dies
C: type of unit = to (your unit that dies)
A: move(seeker region) to (position of (Dying unit)
Then.. A: create a visibility modifier region emmiting visibility for player (owner of dying unit (emmiting visability over (seeker region)))

(you have to put a random region into the map, as big as you want the guys vision to be of the item)

somethin like that

ok im currently using a trigger like this

Events
Unit - A unit Loses an item
Conditions
(Item being manipulated) Equal to King's Holy Ring2 0101 <gen>
Actions
Visibility - Create an initially Enabled visibility modifier for Player 1 (Red) emitting Visibility from (Position of King's Holy Ring2 0101 <gen>) to a radius of 512.00



the problem is when the ring drops.... it shows visibility of the position i originally placed the ring on the map in editor (the ring is given to the king at map initialization)

this helps alot... since its exactly how to do the bloodseeker ability... but what do i do to that trigger to do what i want (sorry im noob) i want it so that when a king drops his ring that another player with a certain unit type can gain vision of that ring and the certain unit has inscreased speed until the ring is picked up. the certain unit does not need to be in certain range of the ring when its on the ground... he can be anywhere on the map and get the vision and speed bonus
thanks for all the help so far guys :)

The dummy next to the item can actually see it. Just set its vision sight to a lesser amount.

No, it shud only be for a certain unit type right? Well, I dont know if dirac's one works for you but if it doesnt you can try mine.
Assuming the unit type of units who can gain vision of that ring when the king drops it is Unit Type A,

Events - A Unit Drops an Item
Conditions - Item type of Last Dropped Item = Ring
Actions - If Unit Type of A is in Playable Map area, then do actions:
Pick all units matching Matching unit is of Unit Type A and do multiple actions:
-Set picked unit movement speed to 522
-Create an initially enabled visibility modifier for owner of picked unit emitting visibility from position of last dropped item to a radius of 300.
-Set VisibilityMod = Last created visibility modifier
Else
Do Nothing

Simple. Remember to set the movement speed back to its default movement speed after he picks the item back up and remove the visibility modifier!

If you dont know how, heres how u do it:
A Unit Acquires an Item
Item being manipulated equal to Ring
Set Triggering Unit's Movement speed to default movement speed
Destroy VisibilityMod

If you do all these it should work fine ! =) Btw when you emit visability DO NOT emit from the item by selecting the item itself!! You should always
"update" the location of the item by doing "last dropped item" or the variable itself (if u set it, of cuz).

Have you tried what Faraway suggested?

And by the way, for the second trigger it should be for all of that unit-type, not just the unit that picked it up.

Hmm...what you say is true. but I figure that the VisibilityMod is the same modifier for all players, which means that when it is destroyed, it is destroyed for all players as well...

In any case, try my trigger and see if it works first ?

Go Trigger editor.
Then click on New Actions then search for text

Pick this
"Pick Every Item In region and Do Multiple Actions"

and you're done!

    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
