Removing Lightning Effects with MUI?!?!

Greetings!

I havent done anything in the editor for about 3 months but today I started with a new spell idea. It's based on the engineers' ultimate in HoN, for you that havent played HoN, it's a machine that the hero places on the ground, creating a lightning field formed as a circle where enemies inside the circle get slowed and silenced.

Anyway. My problem is that I have no idea of how I can remove the lightning circle after 10 seconds and still be MUI...
Also I wana know if you can raise the lightning from the ground, right now the lightning is laying thight on the ground, and it looks ugly...

Here's my trigger:
Trigger:
  • Circle
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Thunder Clap
    • Actions
      • Set Point[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit (Circle Middle) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Point[1] facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Add a 10.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set Point[2] = (Point[1] offset by 650.00 towards ((360.00 / 12.00) x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
          • Set Point[3] = (Point[1] offset by 650.00 towards ((360.00 / 12.00) x (1.00 + (Real((Integer A))))) degrees)
          • Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source Point[3] to target Point[2]
          • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit (Circle Pole) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Point[3] facing Default building facing degrees
          • Unit - Add a 10.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation ( udg_Point[2])
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation ( udg_Point[3])
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation ( udg_Point[1])


I guess that local lightning variables could be a solution in here, but I haven't yet started to use JASS cuz i'm too lazy to search up a good tutorial and then read it:p

Good answers and correct answers = +rep!:thup:

sorry for don't explain how do that but now i'll :p
use this in the top of all actions, after "actions"

Trigger:
  • .
    • Custom script: local lightning array l



use this instead your "Create lightning...
Trigger:
  • .
    • Custom script: set l[bj_forLoopAIndex] = AddLightningEx(CLPB, true, GetLocationX(udg_Point[3]), GetLocationY(udg_Point[3]), GetLocationZ(udg_Point[3]), GetLocationX(udg_Point[2]), GetLocationY(udg_Point[2]), GetLocationZ(udg_Point[2]))



use this to destroy the lightning
Trigger:
  • Custom script: call DestroyLightning (l[bj_forLoopAIndex])


PS: bj_forLoopAIndex = IntegerA

off topic: hex heroesofnewerth.com but you'll a invite from some people which play :p

edit: forget the array in local lol
edit2: remember to use loop integer A again to destroy the lightnings

i don't know if will work... but you can test this:

Custom script: set l[bj_forLoopAIndex] = AddLightningEx("CLPB", true, GetLocationX(udg_Point[3]), GetLocationY(udg_Point[3]), GetLocationZ(udg_Point[3]) + 50. , GetLocationX(udg_Point[2]), GetLocationY(udg_Point[2]), GetLocationZ(udg_Point[2]) + 50. )

if is too high, you can reduce it :p


at least i don't get any syntax error

    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
