Hey, i got my cinematic kind of working.. Now it has picture, but still needs fixing and stuff ^^

I got couple of abilities that should be used in the cinematic, i have made these abilities from hero spells, but i turned them to be standard unit abilities.

I made a storm bolt, it works fine.

War Stomp (made from tauren chieftains) aint working =/ Could this be becouse theres 2 war stomp spells in Orc - Hero folder?

Animate Dead (from death knights) aint working either =/

Shockwave (done from tauren chieftains, but theres 2 of these aswell in the Orc - Hero folder)

I have used Unit - Order issued unit to <spell here from the list> at point or unit or overall (like casting warstomp). But nothing happens :( The hero wont cast the spell, thou i have added these spells to the hero which should use them.

The hero is created by a certain trigger before the cinematic begins.

What should i do to fix my problem, any ideas?

(Im thinking of making the spells hero abilities again and setting them to the hero via triggers, im not sure about this thou..)

check mana cost, cd and so on,
and use order unit with no target to use war stomp/animate dead
if it wont work, try the other order, or simply converty it to JASS and type the order Id of the spell you are using

Perhaps post your triggers (and screenshot the heroes who have those abilities).

All the triggers are run by a previous one. Thats why theres no events. :)

Try to re-create the spells, and base them off 'Race' skills instead of those of Neutral Hostile. It may work.

I have based them off race skills, i just turned them into unit abilities, not hero...

I guess ill try to make them as hero abilities then and so on =/

EDIT:
I got my cinematic wrong, it seems that the ability paths were totaly messed up, dont know why :eek:
I'll try to +rep all you if i can :)

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
