no need for testing, many have done them already
link weep uses damage area for collision, and he says theres no desync.. so go for your unit group with damage area if you want :)

mapguy, you seem to be addicted to GUI. I think you should just switch over to StarCraft 2 when it comes out, because you're never going to get good GUI results from WarCraft 3.

why are you so sure that GUI in SC2 is free of bugs and memory leaks?

I WILL FINISH THIS DAMN AOS (IM STARTING TO GET ANGRY) AND THEN I JUMP TO STARCRAFT AND REMAKE MY AOS THERE WITH FUTURISTIC UNITS.

where?? i just said it hasnt happened to me ..

but dont you think having this group recycle thing IN ONE TRIGGER is easier than over complicating the situation and create another new trigger just for that??

I have a global damage detetion.
When my unit takes the area damage this damage is detected and the trigger is fired.

wait!
so this bug never happened to you?
I am starting to get really confuse?
is this really a mac bug? or it something people Modificate in their macs that causes this?

yes but dont you want what the trigger does all in the one code? something simple like this, and used very commonly...

im not sure either, but its better and safer to consider all possible contingencies, esp when you want people to play your map.

Im already RE-re-re-re-making my triggers to fit it for mac users.

FOR GOD SAKE! I LOSE MORE TIME FIXING BUGS THAN CREATING MY HEROES! THE HERO IDEAS ARE COMPLETELY MADE BUT I LOSE MY TIME WITH THOSE BLIZZARD BUGS SUCH MEMORY LEAKS AND @#&^%$(*!@^&($*%!@#$^12359$&@:banghead:

Since you can do so much in the data (object) editor with customization, you don't even need triggers for many things. Those are native features (which are practically guaranteed to function properly).

Not true. All I know of the problem is that it allegedly desyncs in games with Mac and Windows users...maybe only when using a delay ("after X.XX seconds")? Maybe only on PowerPC Macs, not Intel Macs? I've never experienced it. (I am, of course, a Mac WC3 user.)

However, as noted in the thread hgkjfhfdsj linked, using a group gave better performance than Damage Area.

This is the reality of making WC3 maps. :rolleyes:

hey weep.

so, this damage thing, is it false?
what you think I should do:

OPTION A = use damage area with trigger and no wait to deal damage, and then create the group.
OPTION B = use dummies with immolation or any AOE damage spell and then create the group.

What group is it that you're creating ?!

Just pick all units in the area, and deal the damage to them !
What's the problem there ?! :eek:

Actually, for simpler solution, just set the auto group destroying constant to true.

I don't know for sure, but I haven't seen a problem with it.

But, since there are better ways to damage units in an area, I find the function pointless, anyway.

OPTION A = use damage area with trigger and no wait to deal damage, and then create the group.
OPTION B = use dummies with immolation or any AOE damage spell and then create the group.

Neither. I'd just create a group from units within range or each dummy. This can be done leak-free with JASS using a global group and filter functions, or you can do it with GUI and not worry about creating tiny leaks. Just try to not do it more than necessary (eg. stopping periodic triggers when not needed).

This "leak" hasn't been worked on until a couple of months ago, and there have still been MANY maps before it which (Probably) have had this leak in it and they've all worked fine ! :p

You shouldn't get so worked up about this one SMALL leak...

And there is still NO OTHER WAY of using groups in GUI without this leak (Custom Scripts not counted) so either learn JASS and code in it, or use GUI and learn to optimize the code so that this might be the only leak you'll ever have ;)

    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
