Mini-Tut: Engineering Upgrades [MODIFIED]

What is Engineering Upgrade?

Engineering Upgrade is an ability that allows to upgrade up to three abilities, and also have two data that give increased damage and movement speed.

Table of Contents:

1. What to do
2. Create/Working on Windwalk Abilities
3. Working on Engineering Upgrade
4. You're Done!

1 - What to do?

First, look for Engineering Upgrade. It is founded under Neutral Hostile - Heroes, then click any ability, press E, it will take you to Engineering Upgrade. Now, copy and paste it OR you can skip the part by creating a new ability based on Engineering Upgrade. Now, create a new ability. Anything is fine, and I will pick Windwalk. After you're done, follow the next step.

2 - Create/Working on Windwalk Abilities

I will create one windwalk. Set it to be as much as anything you want, for I am willing to leave them normally.
Here's a original Windwalk's data:

Level 1 - Backstab Damage - 40
Level 2 - Backstab Damage - 70
Level 3 - Backstab Damage - 100
Level 1 - Movement Speed - 0.10
Level 2 - Movement Speed - 0.40
Level 3 - Movement Speed - 0.70
Level 1 - Duration - 20 seconds
Level 2 - Duration - 40 seconds
Level 3- Duration - 60 seconds

Now, then copy and paste your windwalk ability, and make it slightly better as a strong version. I will be setting as a slightly strong version below:

Level 1 - Backstab Damage - 45
Level 2 - Backstab Damage - 75
Level 3 - Backstab Damage - 110
Level 1 - Movement Speed - 0.20
Level 2 - Movement Speed - 0.60
Level 3 - Movement Speed - 0.90
Level 1 - Duration - 25 seconds
Level 2 - Duration - 50 seconds
Level 3- Duration - 75 seconds

And so on. Don't make this too stronger, just add some good numbers, whatever you want. Also, set the Editor Suffix for each Windwalk. I am going to set on the original to: (Normal) and other slightly stronger version to: (Upgrade Level 1) OR (Upgrade 1).

3 - Working on Engineering Upgrade

We're so close to the final, we'll need to modify the data on Engineering Upgrade if you are done with two Windwalk abilities.

Change anything you want, and also take the abilities out of these data:

Level 1 - Data - Ability Upgrade: Pocket Factory, Pocket Factory (Level 1) Or as screenshot shown below:

Click here to see the image in large.

Do that to rest of the Ability upgrades. After that, let's begin.

Go to the Level 1 - Data - Ability Upgrade, then put your abilities there. Must be like this:

Windwalk (Normal)
Windwalk (Upgrade Level 1)

Then, next Level 2 - Data - Ability Upgrade, do that too:

Windwalk (Upgrade Level 1)
Windwalk (Upgrade Level 2)

And so on Level 3 - Data - Ability Upgrade. OR, set it to NONE by removing these abilities off the data.

There are 12 Level Data (if your Engineering Upgrade is Level 3), each 3 is focused on an ability.

Remember this tooltip:

Enhances other Tinker abilities with each level learned:
Cluster Rockets - Larger Area.
Pocket Factory - Builds Clockwerk Goblins more quickly.
Robo-Goblin - Increases armor and Strength; enhances Demolish.

Final - You're Done!

Yes, you're done! Test your map, then see your ability automatically upgrade to a new ability than a silly, hard, and most leaky triggers.

Any questions? Feel free to post. :)

Cheer up buddy. I find it pretty useful, because i have never used engineering upgrade really. I thought it was too much trouble to get in. So thanks for making this mini-tut :thup:

Screenshots would really do wonders to tutorials, no matter how simple they might be. Never assume that people gets what you mean just by explaining it in words.

Well, the mini-tuts don't need screenshot, but I'll try to add ONE screenshot. :D

No tutorial would need screenshots, though it's a huge advantage to the creator of them if he/she acually add them since it'll prevent any confusion caused to weird describing of whatever.

to be quite honest i couldnt really get past your grammar, i understand that you're foreign and all but if you want to write a tutorial you should probably brush up on that. but good effort

Why so? I'm Swedish and I do not run around bragging about knowing any second/third/n:th languages.

This "tutorial" was graveyarded for a reason, so I suggest you elaborate further in the acual use of Engineering Upgrade to have a mere chance of getting it back on track.

If making fun of foreigners is your idea of fun then so be it. The purpose of the comments on tutorials should circle around feedback, criticism, questions and answers not silly jokes.

And fix whatever grammatical errors/typos there are in your tutorial.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
