Hi there,
I have a few abilities that I am having trouble creating properly. I have a trigger for the first, but it isnt working properly:mad: and i have no idea how to go about the other two:banghead:

The first is called Discharge Cannon and it is based off of Finger of Death. The idea is to deal damage to the target equal to the current mana of the caster, and then drain 75% of the caster's current mana.
so far my trigger looks like this:
Discharge Cannon
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Begins casting an ability
Unit - A unit owned by Player 2 (Blue) Begins casting an ability
etc...
etc....
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Discharge Cannon (Neutral Hostile)
Actions
Unit - Set mana of (Triggering unit) to 25.00%
Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to (Percentage mana of (Triggering unit))


My second question is the Shimmer Cannon, an attack that greatly increases in damage if another shimmer cannon is targeting the same unit. (this is not an ability that targets a specific unit such as frost nova. autocasted abilities such as black arrow are what i am going at)
In essence: footman A, B, and C's basic attack is a shimmer cannon
Footman A attacks a grunt and deals 10 damage per hit
Footman B attacks the same grunt and now footman A and B are dealing 15 damage per hit
Footman C attacks the same grunt and now are footman A B and C are dealing 20 damage per hit.
this effect should last about 5 seconds so if any other shimer cannon weilding units decide to join in the fun, the damage multiplyer will keep on increasing.

And then finally (I know, sorry) the Molecular Disrupton Device. This is a basic attack (like the shimmer cannon) with an AOE. However, every time the AOE hits a target, I would like another equally powerfull AOE to be centered on the target that was just hit. and then if that AOE hits something that hit unit would be the cener of the another of the same AOE, and so on and so on... so that the AoE would be small if there are not that many targets but would branch out and become HUUUGE if there were lots of enemies in the area.
The final criteria is that I dont want units that have set off an AOE to set off another one. (or it would be madness:))

Thanks in advance for any advice that could be provided!:thup:

hmm for some reason I can't find in the trigger editor: unit-a unit starts the effect of an ability, and ALL of the actions

ah, no. For some reason my computer flipps whenever I try to download it:eek:. Yes I know its not a virus...

Any way to create these abilities without using the fancy world editor?

Alrighty, a few man hours later and some rugged determination and da Kommodor is back in business.
I got JASS up and running (stupid kapersky) and I found the trigger functions. And, after testing the discharge cannon, it works perfectly.

Now to figure out the other two...

    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.

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

    Power back on finally - all is good here no damage
