It never gets past the bolded part, why? :(
Code: 
function Trig_RAM_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A024' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_RAM_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit Caster = GetSpellAbilityUnit()
    local location CasterPosition = GetUnitLoc(Caster)
    local location TargetPoint = GetSpellTargetLoc()
    local real Distance = DistanceBetweenPoints(CasterPosition, TargetPoint)
    local real Angle = AngleBetweenPoints(CasterPosition, TargetPoint)
    local real N = 0.00
    local location MoveToPoint
    local real MaxDamage
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    call PauseUnit(Caster, true )
    call SetUnitPathing( Caster, false )
loop
   [B]call TimerStart(t, 0.03, false, null)
   loop
   exitwhen TimerGetRemaining(t) == 0
   endloop[/B]
    set N = (N + 20.00 ) 
    set CasterPosition = GetUnitLoc(Caster)
    set MoveToPoint = PolarProjectionBJ(CasterPosition, 20.00, Angle)
    call SetUnitPositionLoc( Caster, MoveToPoint )
    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), R2S(N) + " " + R2S(Distance))
    exitwhen N > Distance or IsUnitDeadBJ(Caster) == true
    call TriggerSleepAction(0.01) 
    endloop
    call RemoveLocation(MoveToPoint)
    call RemoveLocation(CasterPosition)
    call DestroyTimer(t)
    if N > Distance or IsUnitDeadBJ(Caster) == true  then
        call PauseUnit(Caster, false )
        call SetUnitPathing(Caster, true )
        set Caster = null
        call RemoveLocation(MoveToPoint)
        set MaxDamage = 0.00
    else
    endif
endfunction

Click to expand...

basically ur loiping instantly, imagine trying to loop frm 1-infinite...doesnt happen, that is what you are doing here, there is no break point

which is what polledWait() is for, which basically does this, but waits an amount until the timer is done running

However, polled waits arn't able to wait a time that short.

An example of a timer callback:

Code: 
function Bar takes nothing returns nothing
   local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
   // Do something
   call DestroyTimer(t)
   set t = null
endfunction

function Foo takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    call TimerStart(t, 0.03, false, function Bar)
    set t = null
endfunction

It says the distance between the caster and the Spell Target is 0.00, when it's not.

Does that mean I have to store it and transfer it with Kattanas Handle vars?

Code: 
function Trig_RAM_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A024' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Func takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit Caster = GetSpellAbilityUnit()
    local location CasterPosition = GetUnitLoc(Caster)
    local location TargetPoint = GetSpellTargetLoc()
    local real Distance = DistanceBetweenPoints(CasterPosition, TargetPoint)
    local real Angle = AngleBetweenPoints(CasterPosition, TargetPoint)
    local real N = 0.00
    local location MoveToPoint
    local real MaxDamage
    local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), R2S(DistanceBetweenPoints(GetUnitLoc(GetSpellAbilityUnit()), GetSpellTargetLoc())))
    call PauseUnit(Caster, true )
    call SetUnitPathing( Caster, false )
    set N = (N + 20.00 ) 
    set CasterPosition = GetUnitLoc(Caster)
    set MoveToPoint = PolarProjectionBJ(CasterPosition, 20.00, Angle)
    call SetUnitPositionLoc( Caster, MoveToPoint )
    call DisplayTextToForce( GetPlayersAll(), R2S(Distance))
    call RemoveLocation(MoveToPoint)
    call RemoveLocation(CasterPosition)
    call DestroyTimer(t)
    set t = null
    if N > Distance or IsUnitDeadBJ(Caster) == true  then
        call PauseUnit(Caster, false )
        call SetUnitPathing(Caster, true )
        set Caster = null
        call RemoveLocation(MoveToPoint)
        set MaxDamage = 0.00
    else
    endif
endfunction
function Foo takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer t = CreateTimer()
    call TimerStart(t, 0.10, false, function Func)
    set t = null
endfunction
function Trig_RAM_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit Caster = GetSpellAbilityUnit()
    local location CasterPosition = GetUnitLoc(Caster)
    local location TargetPoint = GetSpellTargetLoc()
    local real N = 0.00
    local real Distance = DistanceBetweenPoints(CasterPosition, TargetPoint)    
    loop
      call Foo()
      set N = (N + 20.00 )
      exitwhen N > Distance or IsUnitDeadBJ(Caster) == true
    endloop  
endfunction

ping the minimap at

CasterPosition and TargetPoint. To see where they are. (One red and one blue? to see the difference)

Yes. Store the caster and his target point.

How would the timer callback know what trigger it was called from?
Target point is highly unstable already anyway.

    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
