We need more information for a more detailed answer.

Polar Projection takes one point and sets another point X and Y away from it.
Where X is range and Y is degrees.

Trigger:
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set Point1 = (Center of (Playable map area))
      • Set Point2 = (Point1 offset by 256.00 towards 270.00 degrees)


This means that Point2 = 256.00 (range) south (270.00) of Point1 (Center of (Playable map area)).

Don't forget that two points means two possible point leaks!
Clean them up like this:

Trigger:
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point1)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point2)


Tip: When using Polar Projection I suggest you use Point variables with array, like this:

Trigger:
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set Point[1] = (Center of (Playable map area))
      • Set Point[2] = (Point[1] offset by 256.00 towards 270.00 degrees)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[1])
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[2])



Tip:
X (range) is the same range as a unit's attack range.
Y (degrees) is the same as unit's facing angle.

How about you pick every unit of YourDummyUnitType in like, 64 range of tower (thats 1 space) and remove them?

Use X and Y to replace ur location. X and Y is faster and efficient.:thup: About the child, you should use Jass to attach units to the tower. If you dunno Jass, i cun do anything to solve this prob.:eek:

If youre not very good using the World editor you shouldn't make a TD map. they can be quite difficult(it appears in your Thread that you are a newb map maker :))

Anyway: what happened when it crashed? did it appear an error window? if it did, what did it say?

btw Try not doubleposting :)

Mallen, td's are one of the easiest maps to make. They are easy to make, and they take a while to, which is perfect to learn how to map correctly.

It probably needs NewGen as NewGen owns the Blizzard We. If you dont have NewGen look in the Useful tools section.

Use Jass New Gen Pack 1.5b to improve your world editor. With this Pack, you can easier to remove leak in GUI and enable you to use vJass(The attach system needs vJass complier to work).

You can get from here :
http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=90999

Then use it to open the world editor, the map should work right now.

    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
