Using the Object editor data in tooltips!
by Blitz


Information:​
-This contain tips about the object editor data, and how to use them in the tooptips.
-It's very easy to you, and make you save time when you make your spells' tooltips.
-It's under [Demo Map[ because it's not big enough to be a tutorial.

Starting up[/CENTER​
]
First, open the object editor. (That's the hard part).
Then press ctrl+D and you'll all the raw values of each line pop-up.

Then read this part: (Part 1)
Here's an example of my custom spell.
The Illusionist stop the time while he creates a clone of all the units in the target area. The clones do 50% damage and takes 200% damage.|n|n|cffffcc00level 1|r - Clones last 5 seconds.|n|cffffcc00level 2|r - Clones last 10 seconds. |n|cffffcc00level 3|r - Clones last 15 seconds.
It's pretty hard to read. But ingame, it gives a good result:

What makes the text switch to next line is this code: |n
Look again to the tooltips quote, and you'll see it.

Now read again but this part: (Part 2)
Adding data to tooltips is quite easy. You can add any integer or real value, without having to type it. This is what can make you save time.
Now get back into your object editor and look your spell. You'll see a number, for exemple 'A000' followed by another number(useless for this)
To add add data start by <> and enter the first number in it. <A000>
Then put a comma <A000,> and search on the spell, the line you want to display. I want mana, it's Cost1. Add your data (Cost1) after the comma. <A000,Cost1>. This will display the mana cost at level 1.

Proof. tooltip:
<A000,Cost1>

You can use %d to have the level of the ability when your learn.
Does this mean we can display the value of another spell?
Yes.
Your done :). Hope this simplify your spell making!

Obviously.

Just type, for example Cost4.
The number of the data goes with the level. If you want the data of the level 4, the data name will end by 4.

Can you supply a list of all variables that can be used?

This would be useful if it actually explained all the different ways you can display data.

You can also use <A000,DataA1,%> to display a value multiplied by 100. (Some spell data understand values between 0 and 1.00 to mean 0 and 100%).

You can also do the exact same thing with some unit values:

<hfoo,someValue>

If you went through the trouble of doing the Demo Map in the first place, might as well do a good job of it. It just seems to me all you have to do is get the raw of each field, not too hard.

That one explains it quite well, in good English too.

    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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.
