Many sc2 functions seem to be bugged...

I see a lot of functions which simply don't work.

How would a "pick every unit in unitgroup" create an infinite loop, whereas a "for each unit in unitgroup" doesn't?

Why a marine, who is attacking me because of aggro,'s owner isn't marked as an enemy of mine? They don't store alliance in "check alliance aspect" function as it seems... (Doing it manually now as I simply need it for triggered spells). This may be caused because I change alliance through triggers (yet it IS a bug).

Dialogs, there are multiple items you can add, but things like a slider or an edit box won't appear on creation - seems like they aren't truly added yet.

Does someone else experience things like this?

I've already used "pick every unit in unitgroup" without any problems...

Is the marine neutral and attacks because you attacked it first (or a behaviour or anything like that)? Attacking does not equal being an enemy.

I never used sliders, but i already saw em in use. Edit boxes... I dont know^^

I'm rather sure he's an enemy according to this function:

Code:

        Unit Group - Add HunterBasic [124.45, 177.68] to PotentionalPushingTargets ///test unit target
        Unit Group - Add SurvivorBasic [118.96, 166.62] to PotentionalPushingTargets ///test unit caster
        Player - Make player 1 and player 2 treat each other as Enemy ///hunter = 2, survivor = 1
        Player Group - Add player 1 to EnemiesOfPlayer[(2 - 1)] ///used for my custom system to check alliance
        Player Group - Add player 2 to EnemiesOfPlayer[(1 - 1)] ///same
        Variable - Set PlayerUnit[0] = SurvivorBasic [118.96, 166.62] ///used in some triggers

        Region - Set the playable map area to (Entire map) ///I change play. map area in some other triggers

And the pick every unit results in an infinite loop for me (iteration found).

Works if red function is removed (yet it affects allies too in that situation)


Please note:
I solved both problems by using different functions (or in the alliance system, a custom function written by myself).

Where does the marine come into play? Is he a fellow survivor, your survivor, the hunter? This function tells me that your making player 1 enemies with player 2. So if player 2 is the marine then he should attack you. If the marine is another survivor then his alliance isn’t set here. One more question EnemiesOfPlayer[(2-1)] why not just put EnemiesOfPlayer[(1)]? Unless this is a dual array in which case shouldn’t it be EnemiesOfPlayer[(2)][(1)]?( I haven’t used these yet in SC2 so I’m not real sure about this.

As for your iteration error, once again I’m not for sure, but I have an idea. In

Code: 
    Conditions
                                        ((Owner of temp_Unit) is in (Enemies of player (Owner of TempPBullet))) == true
                                        TempPBullet != temp_Unit
“TempPBullet” is a unit type according to “TempPBullet != temp_Unit”
So in the alliance check condition it at some point is getting Owner of temp_unit(TempPBullet)” is in (Enemies of player (Owner of TempPBullet)))== true

In other words its getting Owner of TempPBullet is Enemy of Owner of TempPBullet. A player cannot be an enemy of themselves, so this might be where the error is coming from.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Oops didn't see your edit, glad you fixed it, though kinda wonder if I'm right with the iteration part

Where does the marine come into play? It is the hunter which is a preset unit for my test (owned by player 2)
Is he a fellow survivor, your survivor, the hunter? This function tells me that your making player 1 enemies with player 2. So if player 2 is the marine then he should attack you. If the marine is another survivor then his alliance isn’t set here. I can ensure you the alliance changes by this function One more question EnemiesOfPlayer[(2-1)] why not just put EnemiesOfPlayer[(1)]? Unless this is a dual array in which case shouldn’t it be EnemiesOfPlayer[(2)][(1)]?( I haven’t used these yet in SC2 so I’m not real sure about this. I copied it from a different trigger which was like "owner of unit -1 (array 0~9, instead of 1~10, as the player numbers are). So basically I was too lazy to remove the arithematic xD Dual arrays work perfectly btw, I use them a lot.

                                        ((Owner of temp_Unit) is in (Enemies of player (Owner of TempPBullet))) == true
                                        TempPBullet != temp_Unit

In other words its getting Owner of TempPBullet is Enemy of Owner of TempPBullet. A player cannot be an enemy of themselves, so this might be where the error is coming from. Gonna test whether you are right.

Hope this helps.

Read inside quote (green)


EDIT:
As promised, checked it for you.
This causes an iteration too (without the condition you though it was caused by:)
Code: 
                Unit Group - Pick each unit in PotentionalPushingTargets and do (Actions)
                    Actions
                        UI - Display "unit found" for (All players) to Subtitle area
                        General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
                            If
                                And
                                    Conditions
                                        TempPBullet != (Picked unit)
                                        (Distance between (Position of (Picked unit)) and (Position of TempPBullet)) <= 0.6
                            Then
                                UI - Display "unit pushed" for (All players) to Subtitle area
                                Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by (Speed * 0.04) towards (Facing of TempPBullet) degrees) (Blend)
                            Else
NOTE: This is the same loop as before, and thus only a part of the trigger.

So as you most-likely will agree with me now... Logically, an iteration can't be there o.o

    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
