Making this entangling roots trigger... NOT WORKING!

Hi there, in my escaper map there can be a maximum of 8 players running around with their hero. In my Nature-part I want dummies to cast Entangling Roots upon the heroes in the given region.

Code: 
Entangling Roots 1
    Events
        Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Temp_UNITgroup = (Units in Entangling Roots 1 <gen> matching (((Matching player) is an enemy of Player 12 (Brown)) Equal to True))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Region 474 <gen>) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Random unit from Temp_UNITgroup)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_UNITgroup)

Temp_UNITgroup should set all the escapers (not Player 12, which is the enemy).
'Pick every unit in (Units in Region 474 <gen>)' are 8 dummy casters with entangling roots (and yes, they are in range to do so).
And of course: 'Order (Picked unit --> the dummies) to cast it on a random escaper.'

But the problem is, they aren't casting it rapidly (perhaps 1 cast of all 8 dummies together on one target every 8-12 sec?!). What I actually want is that all the present heroes get entangled every 4 seconds, but that won't happen in any case with the trigger I have now. I'm already happy if they just let at least 70-80% get entangled every 4 sec, but now not even 25% gets entangled and it's way too easy.

Help appreciated. :)

> (Matching player)

You're getting units in that group.
Test for "owner of (matching unit)".

"Units in region" leaks a group too by the way.

The also might try to entangle the same Hero several times...
Set Unit = Random unit from ...
Unit group - Remove Unit from <group>
And order your dummy to entangle "Unit" (a variable of type "unit", as you probably guessed).

I'm still in the learning proces, though...

But I got this trigger now, I tried to understand you as much as possible.
Code: 
Entangling Roots 1
    Events
        Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Temp_UNITgroup = (Units in Entangling Roots 1 <gen> matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of Player 12 (Brown)) Equal to True))
        Set Entangling_Group = (Units in Region 474 <gen>)
        Set Entangling_Unit = (Random unit from Temp_UNITgroup)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Entangling_Group and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots Entangling_Unit
        Unit Group - Remove Entangling_Unit from Entangling_Group
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_Entangling_Group)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_UNITgroup)

But is this alright? Doesn't seem so ingame.

Code: 
Entangling Roots 1
    Events
        Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set [B]Temp_UNITgroup[/B] = (Units in Entangling Roots 1 <gen> matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of Player 12 (Brown)) Equal to True))
        Set Entangling_Group = (Units in Region 474 <gen>)
        Set Entangling_Unit = (Random unit from [B]Temp_UNITgroup[/B])
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Entangling_Group and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots Entangling_Unit
        Unit Group - Remove Entangling_Unit from [B]Entangling_Group[/B]
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_Entangling_Group)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_UNITgroup)

you are removing a dummy, not the random unit (or is it supposed to be like that?)

Unit Group - Remove Entangling_Unit from Temp_UNITgroup

EDIT: ye Ace told you the problem, since random unit is not in the loop it will only set him once

> Unit Group - Remove Entangling_Unit from Entangling_Group (should be Temp_UNITgroup)

Put those two lines inside the loop...

Thanks for all the help, but it still wasn't doing what I actually wanted so I made it an other way around...

Code: 
Entangling Roots 1
    Events
        Time - Every 3.00 seconds of game time

                Unit - Set mana of Entangling Roots (2 sec) Caster 0126 <gen> to 50.00
                Unit - Order Entangling Roots (2 sec) Caster 0126 <gen> to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots Player_HERO[1]
            Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions

            Else - Actions

I have given Entangle Roots 50 mana cost (and the dummies 50 mana max. without regeneration). And stored the heroes in Variable Arrays. It works perfectly now :) But +rep for the trouble tho.

    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
