Ok so I have a buildig tht I am upgrading the origional building is based on a spawning pool and I made an ability based on morph building (hatchary>lair) only it upgrades it to a barracks instead. When this upgrade is performed the spawning pool just turns side ways and then acts as the barracks but still looks like a spawnig pool. How can I fix this to make t look like a barracks after the upgrade (btw when I directly place the barracks in te map it looks like I should)

I hope this is an answer to your question, if it is not I apologize:

I have been trying to do something very similar and I just figured out how to do it. I have a tower named 'Basic Tower' and a tower named 'Advanced Tower'. I want Basic Tower to upgrade into Advanced Tower and take on Advanced Tower's model.

First, go into the original unit's actor (the one that gives it the default model) and go to 'Events +'. Right click and select 'Add Event'. A new event and action will be created. Select the event (should be named 'ActionDamage' as the default). Change 'Msg Type' to 'Ability Morph'. Leave 'Source Name' as it is ('None') and change 'Sub Name' to 'Finish'.

Now right click on the event you just created and select 'Add Term'. Do this twice. For your first term, change the 'Term Type' to 'MorphFrom'. Then change the 'Unit Link' to be the unit that will be upgraded (Basic Tower for me).

For the next term that you created, change the 'Term Type' to 'MorphTo'. Then change the 'Unit Link' to the upgraded unit (Advanced Tower for me).

Next go down to the action that was created initially (should be called 'ActionImpact'). Change its 'Msg Type' to 'Destroy', but don't do anything else with it.

Click 'OK' and navigate to the actor for your upgraded unit. Go to 'Events +' and create a new event. Change the 'Msg Type' to 'Ability Morph' and the 'Sub Name' to 'Finish'. Then create two terms.

Make the first term's 'Term Type' into 'MorphFrom' and its 'Unit Link' to the unit being upgraded. Change the second term's 'Term Type' into 'MorphTo' and its 'Unit Link' to the upgraded unit. Finally, select the action and change its 'Msg Type' to 'Create', but leave everything else alone. Click 'OK'.

Your first unit should now take on the model of the second unit when it is upgraded. Note that I only am explaining how to make the unit change once it is fully upgraded. You can make the first unit transform into the second unit over time by using other events and actions.

I am very tired at the moment and so I may have missed a step. If this does not work for you, please respond back and I will try to help you solve any issues.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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
