Okay so i want every 2 seconds of gametime, i want a random pokemon to spawn in a particular area. So i put
Set GrassPokemon=Unit Of type Bulbasaur
Set GrassPokemon=Unit Of type Ekans
Etc to put the pokemon in a unit group.
But then when i put "Pick Every unit in GrassPokemon and do (Unit - create 1(unit of (random unit in GrassPokemon) for neutral Hostile In a random position in region 52.)

Whats wrong with this trigger?
I use GUI and im not very good with triggers..
I have set some variables sch as Unit-type GrassPokemon
GrassSpawnTriggersInterger As the Interger Variable.

Thanks in Advanced

You could use an array (click the array box, type in the number), with GrassPokemon [1] being Bulbasaur, GrassPokemon [2] being Ekans, and so on.
Then, when spawning, do Unit - create 1 GrassPokemon [random number between 1 and 10*] for Neutral Hostile at Random point in Region.


...Is GrassPokemon a unit-group variable or a unit-type variable? My method uses unit-type.

*This is the maximum number of creeps in the random array.

Its a unit group. But im kinda confused with this array, because i know how to set the array to something on the unit group, but each pokemon i dont know.

I meant you should instead use a unit-type array. At map initialization, you set each grass pokemon to a number.

Set Grass [1] = Bulbasaur
Set Grass [2] = Ekans
Set Grass [3] = Oddish

And so on. Then, you create a random Grass unit-type.

Okay iv done this. i put Set Grasspokemon [1] = Bulbasaur
Etc.

Is it pick every unit in grasspokemon?? Because i can do a random number from 1-8 in that standard.

You don't pick every unit in anything. You just do Unit - Create Unit facing angle, then when picking your unit click on the variable instead of a unit.

awww i did everything you said. and it looks right, but it still doesn't work.
Ill write what i have so far.
GrassPokemon is a Unit-type.
so i have Set GrassPokemon[1]= #01Bulbasaur
Set GrassPokemon[2]= Ekans
Etc.
(up to GrassPokemon[9])

Then i have
Events
Every 2 seconds of Gametime
Conditions
Actions
Unit-Create 1 GrassPokemon[(random Integer number between 1 and 9)] For neutral hostile at (Random Point in Grass Area).

thats what i have. Is it wrong?

There's a separate action trigger somewhere in the list that sets the level of a hero. Just apply a random level to the unit right after its created.

    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
