Moving Unit to random point in region, Detecting ground level?

I got my terrain set up like this. and when you enter a region with your unit I need a trigger that moves you to a random point in the maze (that screen shot) on the lower floor, not the upper floor. But if there are enemy heroes within 2000 range of the point, then it picks a new point. Is there any way to do this without making a ton of regions?

Use the If/Then/Else, Multiple Fuction trigger.

[This is freehanded]
Condition: UnitA is equal to [you unit]
Action:
If UnitA is within 2000 range of UnitB
Then Move Unit A to a Random Point in Region
Else Do Nothing

Or you can use the Pick every unit in unitgroup loop.

kk that solves half of it, what about the ground level thing? Because if I do just that, it will still make it on the upper level too.

yes set a point to random and make a unit group centred at the point and dectec for heroes if empty move him there. And the lower thing use a region variable with array and set array 1 to the lowest and go up from there. Then for the move the event unit enters region[2] move him to region[1]

How do I set a region to be only on the ground? When I placed a region over my maze it went over the bottom and top parts.

well then for the bottom one make the condition filter out flying units and the other one filter out grounf units so you need to place two regions

i would use GetLocationZ (well looking at your terrain, you could use the GUI , Cliff Level

theres just a problem with a massive loop if it keeps randoming the point near the enemy or on cliff level 2

There are no air units, just ground, but I was going to add an elevator in some spots to move them up to upper level, for snipers. This is kinda like an elimination tournament map, but not even close at the same time lol.

Edit: GUI Ground level? I searched and didn't find it

How 'bout you just make regions on the top areas and when unit are spawned in those places, make a trigger that spawns them somewhere else. And THEN, add my other triggers to set them apart^.

because with my map that would take about 100+regions.......

edit: okay maybe not a 100.... but it would still take a lot :rolleyes:

    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
