what he wrote is fine except
Code: 
Countdown Timer - Start (Expiring timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in 120.00 seconds
should be
Code: 
Countdown Timer - Start *YourTimerVariable* as a repeating timer that will expire in 120.00 seconds

also, just change the event to
Code: 
event
 After 1 second of time

you shouldn't base it one a two minute basis, because it's not accurate. you should instead make two triggers, one that starts it off teh first time, and another that makes it restarts when it reaches 0

Or you can use my way which uses a repeating timer making the amount of lines of code less.

RoC doesn't have "multiple" actions.
You'll have to use two loops, one for gold and one for lumber.

Alternatively, use "trigger run" to call an otherwise unused trigger with both actions.

> Trigger - Run (This trigger)

Endless loop...


Event:
Conditions:
Actions:
- Player - Add 1000 to Player(Integer A)'s Gold
- Player - Add 1000 to Player(Integer A)'s Lumber

And have your current trigger call that one.

See that trigger in post #13?
Create a trigger that looks exactly like that.

Once done, find this line:
> For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions))

And replace "This trigger" with the new one you created.
You also don't need to check any conditions, there aren't any.

    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
