Well hehe ok .. Persen.. Well do you know any good tutorials to learn what you do? :p OR maybe you can make one on this site!! That would be great with such a tutorial
I don't think a tutorial would be very helpful; not many people do this. But if you're good at figuring out how a text file works, you can try getting a MPQ editor and extracting UI\TriggerData.txt, UI\TriggerStrings.txt, and UI\WorldEditStrings.txt from War3Patch.mpq.

Ok thanks Heptameron, but what do you mean with



Basically a timed "run trigger"?

Maybe you could just do:
Wait x
Run trigger
:D

Already exists.

Peace

He already put in the function you're quoting. And it works better than your method does. :p

Personally i think it would be nice if you could type in the commands and variables that you are using, i have done some programming in Vb and it is slow to have to go to the variable editor to make a variable then select the events,conditions and actions. I could type them faster if i could just declare variables and type in the conditions and actions commands, but that might be alot of work, maybe too much to ask.

You need to look into Jass.

You should make Third Person Camera and maybe FPS ones to, Its easy alone but you gotta run it every .1-.2 seconds, each time running about 4-6 different camera actions. So if you could make one like. 'Camera - Apply Third Person mode to <Unit> with <Integer> range and <Real> smoothing', where the range is integer, obviously. And the smoothing is the rotation duration (Ex: Rotate camera for Player 1 (Red) 360 over 2.5 seconds). Of course if you use smoothing you would need to suggest not to use values over 1.00...

I would like to see Unit enters (Terrain Type), and Unit is on (Terrain Type)

Also, (Region <gen>) is ground-pathable from (point), and Pick every unit in Ground-pathable from (point)

The (points) should be just like regions, where it can be region postioned at certain points, and certain Regions.

They would help to stop server splits in TDs when the anti-cheat, or a unit attacks a player, because he/she blocked.

I'm getting so many ideas that i can't right hang on...

Eeeehhh??? What??


And the "attach item table to unit" was kinda hard (i tried), but a "make unit drop (item-type) on death" is possible and will be added.

Well I can't find my massive list of things I want but off hand:
A trigger that removes all memory leaks.(Impossible I think but GUI versions of the individual ones would do).
A option for local variable in the Variable Editor or just a GUI trigger
A way to find the point/regoin target of an ability with out using orders.
A way to hide ability icons.
A way to make orb effects(lifesteal, ord of lightning, slow, etc) stack.
A way to convert abilities to orders.
A built in dummy unit.
A way to add custom data fields.
A way to get the damage range and average damage of an unit from a trigger.
Everything in this page.

I must be missing something; what's wrong with Target Point Of Ability Being Cast?

Man, someone beat me to a post again! :eek:

I'm getting into the habit of hitting the "Preview post" button before I actually post so I can check if anyone beat me. :D

  • Varine Varine:
    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
