In order to have more human players in my TD map i'd like to use one of the neutrals for this. So a simple question: are there any (dis)advantages to doing this? If so, what are they?
I'm using neutral hostile atm for my creeps, and everything seems the same as when i used Player 12 for it. Just don't like to get any unexpected surprises =)
the only problem which could occur is the units running back to the position they were created which is called their "guard position". you can disable this action for certain units with the GUI action "AI - Ignore Units Guard Position".
I've been using the four neutral players in my AoS style map, and I came across a few issues. Obviously, they did have a tendency to run back to their spawns after awhile, but you can either fix that with the GUI action mentioned above or by changing the gaurd distance in the Gameplay Constants.
Also, if you're using neutral passive, neutral victim, or neutral extra; be sure to set the alliances accordingly.
Finally, I ran into a problem where the creeps, when controled by either neutral victim or neutral extra (I didn't try neutral hostile or neutral passive), would run away if they got attacked by a tower. Was never able to solve this problem except by unchecking the box that says "is a building" on my towers.
It's best to use a player slot because neutral players generally have a different AI. However, you can change this AI with triggers to behave like a normal player. If you need all 12 slots, use a neutral player, else use a player slot.
Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
@tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
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
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
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.
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
