Ok, the problem is in the damage being done with this ability (and I'm just making sure that it will properly level). The rest works fine, but for some reason the damage seemingly accumulates on the targets; just simply does dramatically more damage than it should, sometimes just one hitting all heroes. How can I properly apply or fix the damage with this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

-Credit to CokeMonkey11 for writing the ability.

1: Are you sure deafening blast is the name of the buff that blast's silence spell gives?

2: Have you tried using triggers to force picked unit to receive the buff?

3: Have you tried using a unit group to bypass the ignorance of the conditional statement?

1. Positive.

2. Yes.

3. Didn't completely understand this option, how exactly would it work? Meaning, how exactly would you apply the unit damaged to the unit groups, etc.

(08:05:17 PM) Blake: my idea was to add the unit to a global unit group
(08:05:19 PM) ...: it takes a vast amount of damage, that's for sure
(08:05:33 PM) Blake: and replace said condition with one which requires units to not be in the group
(08:05:50 PM) Blake: result: unit is damaged once, then added to group
(08:05:55 PM) Blake: and when it loops again in .03 seconds
(08:06:00 PM) Blake: its in the group so it doesn't get damaged again

He's asking you to change 85 to 3% of 85, but that won't work because this needs to damage once, not 85 damage per second.

Can you post the code that you tried using the unit group thing here?

1. why are you using integers? you dont like reals??? :D (nvm)
Use Cokemonkey11's solution..

When the unit has been damaged, add them to a group:
Trigger:
  • Unit - Cause Blast to damage (Picked unit), dealing (Real(tempDamage)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to Damaged

then set your condition from:
Trigger:
  • ((Picked unit) has buff Deafening Blast ) Equal to False

to:
Trigger:
  • ((Picked unit) is in Damaged) Equal to False

I also tried moving it to where/how XeNiM suggested, still didn't work.

EDIT: Nvm, took out the custom script to remove the new unit group and now it works, woo, thanks all. I had to move it below where the unit takes damage though, why is that? Isn't it still the same "Picked unit" even before the If/Then/Else?

Ok, I'm back as I'm having some issues: a) Sometimes the ability seems to do damage and others not, or only to some units. =/

b) It's not showing the buff and animation still (yellow ! over their heads), ever, and doesn't seem to do the disable, only knockback.

    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
