Show info when unit selected

The newbie

I want it to show information about that unit/hero when a player selects it and then choose that hero when he clicks twice/second time. But Ill focus on the description first.
I found this from a map, but I don't know how/why it would work as Im (VERY) bad at integers.

Code:
Hero Descriptions
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                TempInt Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                Game - Display to (Player group(TempPlayer)) for 99999.00 seconds the text: |cff008000Warrior|r...
            Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                TempInt Equal to 2
            Then - Actions
                Game - Display to (Player group(TempPlayer)) for 99999.00 seconds the text: |cff008000Wizard|r - ...
            Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                TempInt Equal to 3
            Then - Actions
                Game - Display to (Player group(TempPlayer)) for 99999.00 seconds the text: |cff008000Assassin|r -...
            Else - Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)... ETC.

I can't seem to find the explanation(s) for "TempInt Equal to x", but that must obviously be the "event" equal to selecting a unit. Right?

Reason im not just "Event: player selects Warrior, action: show text" is that then Ill hafta use player Red, player Blue etc. coz I can't do it with a playergroup or anything. Right?

Any suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance ;)

I think there are a couple of hero selection tutorials/example maps on this forum, search around.

I think theres another trigger that sets TempInt to different numbers while different heroes show.

Code:
Else - Actions
    Unit - Create 1 Fake Selection Thing for (Triggering player) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    Set FakeSelectionUnits[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Last created unit)
    Cinematic - Clear the screen of text messages for (Player group((Triggering player)))
    Set Select_Hero[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Triggering unit)
    Set TempInt = (Point-value of (Triggering unit))
    Set TempPlayer = (Triggering player)
    Trigger - Run Hero Descriptions <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Must be this, right? But how do I make (Point-value of (Triggering unit)) correspond to the heroes I want it to?

    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
