Edit: I think im doing the WC3 tags wrong can anyone tell me how to make it indent and not be jumbled?

I'm making a mini game race where its elimination style (keep racing till your the last one standing). Each player has a certain amount of lives and the race will loop if either of these occur. (Unless there is one racer left standing that is.)

So I have 2 triggers.
- 1 If a player reaches the finish line.
-1 If all players die.

Both kinda do similar things they check to see if there is more then 1 player with at least 1 life.
The 2nd trigger check to see how many lives the

So I sorta got it to work but I am certain that they do leak, and are inefficient. I'll show you them anyways.

So first, there must be a much more efficient way, I feel like i'm using a hammer to drive a tac. How would you approach this problem? Then I need help identifying leaks and such.

They are efficient enough. You have some leaks (effects), but they're too little to worry about.

There are a few location leaks in your "All Dead" trigger, I didnt notice any leaks in the others. What exactly is your question though?

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
