what im trying to do, is when you pick up an item, it increases your range..
i tryed some abilities that i could mess with.. but all it says is use your 2nd attack index.. or w/e... that wont work.. because well.. different items will have different ranges?

I don't think that is possible. The only way I know of to increase a unit's range is by using an upgrade, but upgrades cannot be reduced in level.

Very easy fix. If you have WEU, there is a special action function designed just for that. If you don't, you can only change the Aquisition Range (which is just the Cap on the unit's Range.) So what you can do is make the unit's range a high number like 2000. Then, make the Aquisition Range like 100 so the unit attacks at melee range. You can then change the unit's Aquisition Range with a trigger to be 2000 like it's range, so it can now fire from 2000 range. Don't asked me why its called "aquisition range", its just basically a cap for the range. Theres also a human upgrade that deals with range that you can try as a last resort. Make it so the unit is affected by that upgrade and later on, with a trigger, make the upgrade's level 1 so then i will be activated and the unit can get the range bonus. :)

Don't use WEU.

Also, the acquisition range is the range in which a unit ACQUIRES a target. It isn't a cap on the units range. So, your unit will have up to 2000 range if you order it to attack, or if it acquires a target and then the target moves away.

Use the human range upgrade.

As they've said, upgrades can't be demoted.
Just supporting Damien.
WEU is a editor that helps "Newmappers"
Its pretty much useless, those added triggers cause' leaks, the editor is pretty useless other than that.
Also, WEU doesn't get Added trigger things when you update TFT..

    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
