Unit Multiplier, Whats wrong in my thinking?

I've been trying for quite a few hours now and I just don't see whats wrong in my thinking when it comes to fixing this trigger and getting it to work properly

Its somewhat like footies "BabyBoom" where if you keep it alive, it will increase the unit output by 1 (double it)

So... even after looking up a footies map that actually has the triggers put in, even trying to mimic everything, it still won't work!

Code:
Increase Unit per Cycle
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 2 (Blue) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 3 (Teal) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 4 (Purple) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 5 (Yellow) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 6 (Orange) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 7 (Green) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 8 (Pink) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 9 (Gray) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 10 (Light Blue) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 11 (Dark Green) Finishes training a unit
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Finishes training a unit
    Conditions
    Actions
        If ((Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Penguin) then do (Set unitround[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = unitround[((Player number of (Triggering player)) + 1)]) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Penguin) then do (Player - Make Penguin Unavailable for training/construction by (Triggering player)) else do (Do nothing)
        If ((Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Penguin) then do (Unit - Move (Trained unit) instantly to (Center of Unit Multiplier <gen>)) else do (Do nothing)

Whereas "unitround" is a variable.

Details :

Code:
Variable Name : unitround
Variable Type: Interger
Array (Checked) 
Size: 1
Initial Value: 0 (Default)


What i am trying to fix here is to get the unit (while in play) to make the Size +1 so it creates 2 units everytime "unitround" goes off to create a new unit.

Ideas?

Rep will be rewarded of course!

1. This:

Code:
Player number of (Triggering player)

Never changes for each player. So it will always be the same number.

2. Where do you actually create the units?

Erm.. so im confused, what do i change it to in order to get this functioning properly?

2. Where do you actually create the units?

They're created at my town hall, if its destroyed, i lose.

Well, I don't really know... I don't know how it's supposed to work....

Trigger that does it, please.

Code:
 ArmySpawn

    Events
        Time - Every 4.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (If (unittype[(Integer A)] Equal to Child) then do (Do nothing) else do (Unit - Create 1 unittype[(Integer A)] for (Player((Integer A))) at ((Player((Integer A))) start location) facing (Center of (Playable map area))))

Whereas unittype is a variable
Child is set to default unittype variable at the start

Code:
Variable Name: unittype
Variable Type: Unit-Type
Array (Checked)
Size: 1
Initial Value: None

Code:
Create 1 unittype[(Integer A)]

So, it always creates one. You want it to create more than one?

Exactly, hence when i make the Penguin,

Code:
 f ((Unit-type of (Trained unit)) Equal to Penguin) then do (Set unitround[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = unitround[((Player number of (Triggering player)) + 1)]) else do (Do nothing)

comes into play.

Ok.

So, you want to change the 1 in the spawn trigger to unitround[Player(Integer A)].

Then here:

Code:
unitround[((Player number of (Triggering player)) + 1)]

That needs a tiny tweak:

Code:
(unitround[((Player number of (Triggering player))] + 1)

Notice the bracket placement.

    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
