I'm creating a turn based combat system, like one in Final Fantasy and all other japanese RPGs.
I'll post my triggers here.
Code: 
Starting

        Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Knight 0002 <gen>
    Conditions
        (Region 004 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
    Actions
        Trigger - Turn off Third Person Camera <gen>
        Unit - Move Knight 0002 <gen> instantly to (Center of ForestCreepLoc <gen>)
        Unit - Move Paladin 0004 <gen> instantly to (Center of ForestHeroLoc <gen>)
        Set CreepUnit = (Random unit from (Units in ForestCreepLoc <gen>))
        Set HeroUnit = (Random unit from (Units in ForestHeroLoc <gen>))
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in ForestCreepLoc <gen>) and do (Unit - Make (Picked unit) face (Center of ForestHeroLoc <gen>) over 0.00 seconds)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in ForestHeroLoc <gen>) and do (Unit - Make (Picked unit) face (Center of ForestCreepLoc <gen>) over 0.00 seconds)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in ForestBattle <gen>) and do (Unit - Pause (Picked unit))
        Trigger - Turn on Battle Camera <gen>

        Set BattleOn = 1.00
Code: 
Battle

                Game - Display to (All players) the text: You win!
                Trigger - Turn on Third Person Camera <gen>
Its working fine except that when the Knight (starting) approaches the Hero, it just stops in front of him and doesn't attack or even return back. Some help would be nice. :)
And I started doing this trigger this morning, so it might be little sucky at places. But it will improve.

If you're interested in turn-based systems, you should see the "Hero RPG" campaign in WC3 campaigns. It uses a turn-based system too, and could serve as an inspiration source.

Check your frist tigger agian. Near the movement i think thats wrong.

Code: 
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in ForestBattle <gen>) and do (Unit - Pause (Picked unit))

Why would that be wrong? I said the problem is that when the Knight (creep) approaches the Paladin (hero), it just stops in front of him and does nothing.

I'm quite sure all the variables are right. If anyone can come up with a solution, that would be lovely. :)

And thanks for the information, dadads, I'll check that map, but that system I saw in the screenshot is totally beyond my skills. :] I may still find something from the map.

Ok, I think the problem is in the event [Unit becomes attacked].
Could there be another way to do it?

Don't use [Event - Unit is attacked].
Use [Event - Unit is damaged] instead.

Or if you want to move the hero using triggers instead of issuing the move command, you can actually time it.

Yes, thanks dadads, now the Knight actually attacks. I had to change the generic unit event to specific unit, because "takes damage" isn't in generic unit event.

I didn't quite understand what you meant with moving the hero with triggers, could you define it a bit more?

    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
