The screen shot shows how its bugged, I've spent some time trying to find whats wrong with it. I'm sure its something very easy that I'm just missing....

I can attach the map if that will help anyone fix it.

Heres the code.

Might sound stupid but what is it actually supposed to do? That'd probably help a lot ^^

You place towers next to each other making beams to damage units.

I havn't added the damage part yet becuase I'm having problems with picking the units as you can see in the screen shot.

The units tinted red are units that have been picked to be damaged.

Its a little more complex then that but I'm can/have got the rest to work.

I don't know what's wrong, but since the thing actually seems... specific, I think that it isn't grouping the middle and bottom left lines. Are you sure your GroupEnumUnits...() thing is working correctly in those situations?

Hm all I can see right now is that you leak some groups in damage and in the enuminline function.
*ContinuesReading*

Edit: Whats that boolean error in the Actions function supposed to do?
If you'd find an existing instance you'll 'leak' the one you create on startup, but as far as I can tell that won't happen often since you don't loop through the instances. (the condition always returns false since you check the caster for a newly created instance)

Edit2: Seems like you haven't taken care of leaks yet (you'll leak some units and locations aswell) so I won't comment further on them ^^

And I can't quite tell how the actions thingy is connected to the powergenerator thingy from your code.
It seems like you create new instances without increasing the total but instead you increase total if the powergenerator spell is casted.

Not sure if I have a new problem now or if its the same old one.

    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
