Trying to make a cloaking ability that will be put on a zealot to activate at the same time charge would (the zealot won't have both charge and the cloak, but i want it to activate when charge would), have the same cooldown, be auto cast like charge is, and only last one or two seconds.

I'm very new with this editor and can barely make a new unit much less an ability so this is very difficult for me.

I tried duplicating the ghost's personal cloaking and going from there but I'm not sure i know which things are needed to be duplicated (such as decloak as the ability i want does not need to be deactivated).

Thanks in advance!

Assuming your skill level is low, I suppose you can make charge so it makes the unit invisible instead of making him move faster.

Go to data editor, behaviors and in the search type "charging" and pick "zealot- charging" from the protoss folder.
(if you wanted to know, the ability "zealot - charge" just uses an "apply buff" effect to apply this behavior buff that does most of the work)

It's just a buff so you can do whatever you want, it's very customizable.

With all of the orange buttons at the top pressed in except "view raw data" double click on "modifications +" and go to movement and set "movement speed multiplier" to 1. That's so the effect does not make units move fast.

Now for the cloaking part: again go to "modifications +" and click on "behavior" button then go down to state flags and find cloak in the list and enable it.

Voila, you have a cloaking charge-lot.

ah! works like a charm, thank you very much! rep for you, if i could...

Well your question was well asked so heres a little + rep so that you can get started, Adovid. It is very helpful for someone to tell their problem in an understandable way as well as their general skill level. bebop did a very good job explaining that as well. Kudos.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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
