Ummm, hello, I kinda made this trigger for one of my custom hero's skills:

ParacideBomb.gif

Parasite Paracide
“Argh! Stupid fly got into my ea… *BOOM!*”

Description: After years of studies of chemicals and insects, the Biochemists were able to create mutated insects which emit a great amount of heat, causing themselves to be on fire. Since then the Biochemists have been using these mutated insects in battle, sending them out to infect enemy units. Each time the insects would then feel motion of the upper body, most likely when the infected unit attacks; they emit flames from their tiny bodies, causing damage to the unit from the inside and outside to the surrounding as well. As the heat is intense, the flies would then perish after emitting heat for a number of times. If their host body dies before they do, they would simply search for another body to infect until they themselves die.

Brief Details: Summons a number of Paracide Insects that infect random enemy units in a 1000 AoE. Each time the infected unit would attack, he will get damaged by the insect inside him and those surrounding enemy units will also be damaged by a small amount. The insects die upon damaging the unit for a number of times, if the unit dies before the insect dies, the insect will infect another random enemy.

The problem is, each time I use the skill (especially when it's at Level 4) it becomes rather laggy. Can anyone tell me the leaks here? I know that the InfectedUnits Unit Group variable isn't destroyed. But I need it to stay since it's not like all of the insects would disappear all at once. :banghead:

    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
