Im trying to create a custom spell
This spell will move the targeted unit from one point to another
unit will not walk will be pushed.

I figured that i must use some for loops with "move unit intsant" function.
But i really do not understood the English of in this function and tried loads of wariations to understand how does this functions moves units:

- Point with offset: a region/point and 2 real values
- point with polar offset: a region/point and 2 real values

Im a bit bad on mathematics and could not figured out what does this functions do exactly. The tests i made, confusing me like hell.

Con some one explane what they do?

And how can i make the best push effect on instand moving? Couse For loop with 0.01 waiting time makes the movement slow and it looks really bad. Also if i dont put wait then it moves the unit instandly..
:(

The smoothest push effect is done via a rapidly executing trigger (or perhaps loop, though I don't like them as they steal trigger focus), the most being a 1 pixel run around (also generates the most lag).

In general, point with polar offset works by allowing you to specify a point, then go a distance (the offset) in any angle (0 to 360, 0 being north), I don't use point with offset given the extra functionality of the polar offset variant.

For the strongest triggering of this, you have to use the angle between points too, or at least have triggers going to calculate the facing of the unit (both of these functions can be found under the Real data type).

Not sure

e:Unit- a unit begins casting a spell
c: spell being cast = to (moveing)
a: Unit- order unit to stop
Unit-order casting unit to move to center of walk(gen)
wait 1 second
Unit-order casting unit to move to center of walk2(gen)
wait 1 second
Unit-order casting unit to move to center of finish walking(gen)

or something like that, i hope that helped

    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
