I made a spell called Arcane Storm , I posted it at THW and Someone said Hashtable Is better so, I tried to make my spell whit hashtable but i have questions and Problem(s) about my spell's trigger.
Problem(s)
1.I want the special effects I've created in trigger is destroy when the spell is finish but, if the caster cast twice in a row only the last created one is destroyed. how can i change that?
Questions.
1.It is MUI? if it's not , why?
2.It is Leakless?

Just an off-topic question.
What happen if you divide by zero in Wc3?

When you cast it twice before they effect it destroyed it overrides the last effect in the hash table.

You need to keep track of how many times the spell is cast per unit then offset the special effect key by the number of casts.

Then it should work.

Dividing by zero give you an error just like every other language.

So Instead of storing the Special effects into the hashtable, i should use Index system for it?

and what about my other question?

    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
