which i can use in the trigger editor..

i searched wc3c and the hive..

Why not just use the Finger of Death lightning, which is red ?

What i'd do is make a lightning variable and set it's coloring to something that is red. perhaps 100/100/255 Then I'd create it when needed.

Yeah, use triggers to set its coloring to 1/0/0. Much easier that coloring it thru an imported .slk.

I'd use the imported .slk only if you want to use a custom noise or duration.

You don't need to use triggers... U just read the link i gave and u import a .slk file that will make ur own lightning effect. Read it and u'll see that u don't need triggers

Igor_Z is right..

found the drain life and drain mana lightnin blp path in the .slk..
so i extracted it with powerMPQ.. converted it to .TGA.. opend it in adobe photoshop and toyed as long with it until it was red..

still cant use it in the triger create lightning from point X to Y..

i replaced teh drain life from the dark ranger with this lightning and its exactly what i wanted..

    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
