I've got to triggers which aren't working, and im not sure what im doing wrong.


This is supposed to create a series of waves of frost(based off breath of frost) around the hero in a circular fashion based on the heroes level.
Level 1 should have 1 wave go 180 degrees, and another 360
Level 2 should have waves go at 90, 180, 270, 360
so on.

I've tested this with heroes of level 1 and 31. Each time it only loops twice.
(I only get 2 "moo" messages") And each time there is only 1 wave, or all the waves go in the same direction.
Code:
FrostNova
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Frost Nova 
    Actions
        Set TempPoint = (Position of (Casting unit))
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to (2 x (Hero level of (Casting unit))), do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: moo
                Set FrostWavePoint = (TempPoint offset by 256.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x (360.00 / (2.00 x (Real((Hero level of (Casting unit))))))) degrees)
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Add Wave of Frost (Level 3) to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Breath Of Frost FrostWavePoint
                Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_FrostWavePoint)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)


This spell is suposed to have dummy units cast chain lightning
on all enemies within 900, then have dummy units at each unit cast chain lightning on the unit if the heroes level is > 11, and again if > 19.

The problem is that only 1 chain lightning is cast.
Code:
Wrath
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Wrath 
    Actions
        Set TempPoint = (Position of (Casting unit))
        Set TempGroup = (Units within 900.00 of TempPoint matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Add Chain Lightning (Level 3) to (Last created unit)
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Picked unit)
                Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Hero level of (Casting unit)) Greater than 11
            Then - Actions
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Set TempPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
                        Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
                        Unit - Add Chain Lightning (Level 3) to (Last created unit)
                        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Picked unit)
                        Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Hey, legacyspy, it's me, thewrongvine. :) Haven't seen you on lately, I think... Ehem.

Why not just make the mana cost 0? Is there a cooldown? Though it won't really affect anything...

For your first ability, there is only one point there. Even if it does cast again because of the loop, the Frost Wave Point will not change since the unit and requirements are the same.

For the second ability, not sure if this is it, but maybe your dummies could be overlapping each other. 99% not. There are no pauses between the casts, so maybe all 3 of them are casting at the same time and the effect overlaps? I'm just making things up to try and solve this...
Just for testing reasons, try adding like a .01+ wait to see what happens, but just for testing. And also, for your conditions for the repeated casts for levels 11 and 19, try doing "Greater than or Equal to". If the hero when you were testing was exactly 11 or 19, it might not work.

Um, I haven't read everything through properly, but if they're supposed to cast it twice in a row but don't, have you made sure the ability has no cooldown?

It won't matter, because they are creating multiple dummies. Each dummy only casts the ability once, so there is no difference in cooldowns.

@legacyspy, ty and good luck!

    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
