Edit:

Okay, my skill theme has changed. What it needs to do is for every 6/5/4/3 spells cast within a certain range, only from enemies, the explodes dealing damage. I can do the explosion bit, no problem. I just can't can't do the first bit..

Hmm.. [your unit] would be under what.. Because you can only have "triggering unit" and target unit of ability being cast only refers to the Event - A Unit Begins Casting An Ability. Also, my skill idea has changed.

Use an integer variable to track the number of spells cast. and do actions accordingly.

You can combine all of those If/Then/Else into one, and set the level of "Combust (Damage and Stun)" to the same level as the Combust ability, like this:

Trigger:
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Spell Dummy for (Picked player) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add Combust (Damage and Stun) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Combust (Damage and Stun) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Combust for (Picked unit))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - War Stomp
    • Unit - Remove (Last created unit) from the game
    • Set CombustCounter = 0


and then use another If/Then/Else for tracking the CombustCounter.

Also, you do not pick any players in this trigger, so (picked player) will not work.

(sorry for double post, forgot to mention I would just edit my last post)

Okay, it was hard to test the spell in your map because the enemies would rarely cast spells. But I changed the code a bit, it should be working correctly. I also added a debug line to track when the trigger runs, and how many the Combust Counts is at. You can easily remove that.

      • Set Combust_MaxCount = (7 - (Level of Combust for (Triggering unit)))
      • Trigger - Turn on Combust Counter <gen>


Trigger:
  • Combust Counter

                  • Set Combust_Counter = (Combust_Counter + 1)
                  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Enemy spell is cast
                  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Combust Counter is + (String(Combust_Counter)))

It's because you are creating an infinite loop. [DEL]You forgot to add a condition to check if it is your ability being cast.[/DEL]

I mean you forgot to add a condition to check that it is NOT Warstomp.

Trigger:
  • Combust Counter
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Not equal to Combust (Damage and Stun)
    • Actions

    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
