Hi Helpers,

I´m on a new spell called Totem Fury. This spell actually spawns 5 different totems with 5 different proccs. those totems will be activated 5 seconds after the previous totem procced. thats fine but i divided the spell into 6 triggers. each totem got one and the main trigger which will spawn the totems and do special effects and so on. now my problem is to set the level of each totem effect to the level of the original totem fury spell given to the hero. i tried to make an integer var and set it to the heroes level of ability of totem fury each time he actually cast the spell. and the spell given to the totems will read that to set their own ability level. but that is not working at all for some reason. does anybody have a good idea to solve this litte problem.

bye raizn

Did you remember to set the MAX number of levels the totems have to the MAX number of levels the hero has? =x
Just asking the simple questions because I haven't seen the trigger and it might be the small things screwing you up.

This spell is only used by one hero, right?
Nothing else is overwrighting the integer variable you used?

Bah, could you post the trigger up?

  • Unit - Add Entangling Roots 11 to (Picked unit)

Whut.
I don't see what this does.
You want to add the ability to (Triggering unit)
Not (Picked unit), and you defined Picked unit as the enemy

Trigger:
  • Unit - Set level of Entangling Roots 11 for (Last created unit) to TotemLvL[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]


This is the problem, You used "Last created unit"
This trigger is different from the other triggers.
It does not understand "Last created unit" because it wasn't defined in this trigger

Trigger:
  • Unit - Remove Entangling Roots 11 from (Picked unit)

Probably related to the first mistake

You should change it to:
Trigger:
  • Unit - Add Entangling Roots 11 to (Triggering unit)

And
Trigger:
  • Unit - Set level of Entangling Roots 11 for (Triggering unit) to TotemLvL[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]


And
Trigger:
  • Unit - Remove Entangling Roots 11 from (Triggering unit)

ye i just used it cause the unit will not cast roots on themselves without the wait. and i was to lazy to trigger it another way^^ but i know that a wait in a loop is a nono^^

but ok i changed it to this:

Trigger:
  • Earth Totem
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Earth Totem
    • Actions
      • Custom script: local effect Totem1
      • Custom script: set Totem1 = AddSpecialEffectTarget("Abilities\\Spells\\Orc\\EarthQuake\\EarthQuakeTarget.mdl", GetTriggerUnit(), "origin")
      • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to TotemGrp[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 750.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit - Add Entangling Roots 11 to (Picked unit)
          • Unit - Set level of Entangling Roots 11 for (Picked unit) to TotemLvL[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
          • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Picked unit)
      • Wait 5.00 seconds
      • Custom script: call DestroyEffect(Totem1)


Trigger:
  • Earth Remove
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Entangling Roots 11
    • Actions
      • Unit - Remove Entangling Roots 11 from (Triggering unit)

    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
