I have four triggers to automatically build outposts in my map. All variables going in are supplied. Why don't these work?

Code: 
Control Shifted
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                tempplayer Equal to Player 10 (Light Blue)
            Then - Actions
                Set temppoint = (Center of Fortressspawn <gen>)
                Unit - Create 1 Nerghuzian for Player 10 (Light Blue) at temppoint facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Make (Last created unit) Invulnerable
                Set tempunit = (Last created unit)
                Trigger - Run Control Build Point Check <gen> (ignoring conditions)
                Wait until (buildpointcheckdone Equal to True), checking every 0.50 seconds
                Set buildpointcheckdone = False

Also, my WE has a graphical bug that's quite annoying. Checkboxes and radio buttons display as plain white or black boxes that don't change. I found that restarting my computer is a good remedy, but is there a permanent solution?

I trigger them manually in the check trigger. I'm not that stupid. . .

Check trigger, for reference:

Code: 
Control Disputed

        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true

1. What's supposed to happen?

Changed, still doesn't work. It occasionally spawns the builder when the buildings are killed, but the builder doesn't get off his fat ass to build. Past post:

Actually, I just realized that tempplayer shouldn't be set to owner of killing unit, since I haven't got any settings for the actual players(players 10-12 are comps)

In case if this solution doesn't work,
The third trigger executes the string of triggers, setting tempunit and temppoint in the way. Then, I find out which of 14 regions the dying unit was in. This works because no regions overlap. I found out 2nd trigger worked by debugging, so that isn't the problem. The first I also have a question with.

If I overlap build orders like that, will they queue? If so, I have to put wait actions on those. . .

Also, my WE has a graphical bug that's quite annoying. Checkboxes and radio buttons display as plain white or black boxes that don't change. I found that restarting my computer is a good remedy, but is there a permanent solution?

Just posting all of your triggers and asking what' s wrong dosn' t help much. Looking through them all is real pain. YOu know it isn' t MUI so it will mess up badly when two units activate that trigger at same time.
Maybe remove skip all actions from first trigger. When killing unit equal to no unit ? Does that mean unit has to be killed with ability ? But I doubt in it, there is always killing unit. So that action is useless. Run trigger checking conditions when there aren' t any, ood. Just run the without condition check or you have added new conditions somehow to your triggers ? Explain what you want to achive, creating mess of triggers isn' t wise when you got TFT. Write what you want and mabe we can shorten it up.

you should try to work with game messages to find out where a trigger stops working. that helps in most cases to find the mistake.

i.e: "Trigger X fired", "Check startet", "Check completed" etc...

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

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