Hey, so after a long holliday, hundreds of threads i think im ready to share the way i found, ive seen meny other answer the same questions as me,
so i hope this will help!.

Step 1 making the units: First you make 1 unit based on the human unit farm
with change this: Abilities-none, grund texture=none, game interface= what ever you like,art model:Doodads\LordaeronSummer\Terrain\Gate\Gate.mdl
Recruied animation names:stand, art- shadow textures=ShadowStoneWall1
colision size:20,Pathing:magical pen wall and last placement recruies:grund pathable.

Now you go down under EDIT sufrace and post this into the field:Buildable Horizontal.

After this you got youre first unit, you now copy paste it into 6 units.

all with the name Gate but after go down and edit sufrance,

this shuld be the 6 names

Gate Buildable Horizontal
Gate Buildable Vertical
Gate (closed)(Horizontal)
Gate (closed)(Vertical)
Gate (Open)(Horizontal)
Gate (open)(Vertical)

after that you go into youre units and edit the despriptions so their fit do what the unit do. after that you change so that all that dosnt got the name Buildable Into it, you will change build speed to 1 so that they will open/close nearly instantly, you shuld also remove the gold/lumber cost of them, since it shuld´t cost to open close a gate ;)

Now you go into the units called (open)((Horizontal or Vertical))
and go down to Colision size and change it to 0
than you go to pathing - Doddads- Mushrooms>base< birds>base<..............
this is importent, since Mushrooms dosnt have a pathing, but its still a pathing. this is because if you try to upgrade a non pathing into a pathing youre game will crash.

after you have done this to both youre (Open)
you upload the file under this thread caled "vertical gate" You import this, restart World EDIT and put it into the field called Models in youre 3 gates called Buildable Vertical,Open vertical, and Closed Vertical.

now you add the 2 "Builable" gates to a worker.
than you go into upgrades to under youre buildable horizontal gate and makes it upgrade into youre Open horizontal gate, after you do so that youre open horizontal gate upgrades into youre closed horizontal gate, and youre closed horizontal gate upgrades into youre open horizontal gate.

you repeat this with youre Vertical gates(so it upgrades into the open,closed version of vertical gate.)

after you have done this you make this trigger:

Trigger:
  • Gate trigger
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes an upgrade
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Gate (Open)(Horinzontal)
        • Then - Actions
          • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)&#039;s Death Alternate animation
        • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Gate (Close)(Horinzontal)
        • Then - Actions
          • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)&#039;s stand animation
        • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Gate (Close)(Vertical)
        • Then - Actions
          • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)&#039;s stand animation
        • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Gate (Open)(Vertical)
        • Then - Actions
          • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)&#039;s Death Alternate animation
        • Else - Actions


and hopefully, youre gate shuld be working, if it dosnt tell me, because i might have made some mistakes in my guide ;)

at last i wanna say thanks to all those who have helped me on helpernet with coming this far :)

    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.

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
