Since there was no spell that could keep doing the lightning effect, I made a trigger. THIS IS JUST A SPECIAL EFFECT TRIGGER, NOT A REAL DASH SPELL. The problem I have is when the speed effect wears off, the lightning effect keeps going. At level one, there are still a few more shocks after it. Remember, it's not a dashing spell like in dota, it's just a name. The real spell is based off Beserk just increasing speed.

The total ammount of waits should equal to the duration of the spell, level 1 waits a total of 5 seconds, level 2 a total of 10, level 3 a total of 15 and lvl 4 a total of 20.

I wanted it be constant so I split it in half. Is there any problem there?

Okay this is how my code works.

* = Shock
W = Wait .50
E = Extra Shocks
[ ] = What I want gone

Code:
* W * W * W * W * W * W * W * W * W * W * [E * E * E * E *]

I'm trying to take away the E's

Is that the actual ammount? You do it 10 times but it shows 15 shocks?
Well every shock ends up as 0.50 secs so if you wanted it to last 2.50 seconds, you'd do 5 shocks. (5x0.50 = 2.50) and if you wanted it to last 16.50 seconds, you'd do 33 shocks. (33x0.50 = 16.50) So if u did want it to last 16.50 seconds, change interger A to 33.

Thats an example, so change it to your needs.

You can't remove the special effects after a wait. Use an effect variable together with a
Code:
Custom Script: local effect udg_Effect
for it. Now, every part of your code would look like this:
Code:
Loop - Actions
                        Wait 0.50 seconds
                        Special Effect - Destroy Effect
                        Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Casting unit) using Abilities\Weapons\Bolt\BoltImpact.mdl
                        Set Effect = (Last created special effect)
Remember to put the script at the start of the trigger.

    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
