Ok, I made another spell called Dragon's Souls that I wanted to post on The helper but it's got some glitches. There are no Jass errors but the effects won't die. The spell makes fire appear around a circle and red balls fly up after a unit with a effect dies but the effects just stay there.Here's the code:
JASS:

function Trig_Dragon_Souls_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'AHtb' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Dragon_Souls_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'ANpi', GetSpellTargetUnit() )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Dragon_Souls takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Dragon_Souls = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Dragon_Souls, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Dragon_Souls, Condition( function Trig_Dragon_Souls_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Dragon_Souls, function Trig_Dragon_Souls_Actions )
endfunction


JASS:

function Trig_Dragon_Souls_Death_Func001C takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetUnitAbilityLevelSwapped('ANpi', GetDyingUnit()) == 1 ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Dragon_Souls_Death_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit Target = GetDyingUnit()
    local unit array Effect
    local effect array Fire 
    local integer ArrayNumber = 0 
    local integer UnitArray = 0 
    local real Angle = 0.00  
    if ( Trig_Dragon_Souls_Death_Func001C() ) then
        call CreateNUnitsAtLocFacingLocBJ( 1, 'h001', GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), GetUnitLoc(GetDyingUnit()), GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()) )
        set Effect[0] = GetLastCreatedUnit()
        call UnitApplyTimedLifeBJ( 5, 'BTLK', Effect[0] )
        set bj_forLoopAIndex = 1
        set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 10
        loop
            exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd
            call AddSpecialEffectLocBJ( PolarProjectionBJ(GetUnitLoc(GetDyingUnit()), 400.00, Angle), "Doodads\\Cinematic\\TownBurningFireEmitter\\TownBurningFireEmitter.mdl" )
            set Fire[ArrayNumber] = GetLastCreatedEffectBJ()
            set Angle = Angle + 36
            set ArrayNumber = ArrayNumber + 1
            set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
        endloop
        set bj_forLoopAIndex = 1
        set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 40
        loop
            exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd
            call CreateNUnitsAtLocFacingLocBJ( 1, 'h000', GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()), PolarProjectionBJ(GetRandomLocInRect(RectFromCenterSizeBJ(GetUnitLoc(GetDyingUnit()), 500.00, 500.00)), GetRandomReal(0.00, 500.00), GetRandomDirectionDeg()), GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()) )
            set Effect[UnitArray] = GetLastCreatedUnit()
            call PauseUnitBJ( true, Effect[UnitArray] )
            call UnitAddAbilityBJ( 'Amrf', Effect[UnitArray] )
            call UnitApplyTimedLifeBJ( 2.00, 'BTLF', Effect[UnitArray] )
            call SetUnitFlyHeightBJ( Effect[UnitArray], 1000.00, 1000.00 )
            call TriggerSleepAction( 0.10 )
            set UnitArray = UnitArray + 1
            set bj_forLoopAIndex = bj_forLoopAIndex + 1
        endloop
    call DestroyEffectBJ( Fire[ArrayNumber] )
    else
    endif
endfunction

I won't talk about leaks, optimizations and so on .. much work to be done on this part.

Mainly after your first loop the 'ArrayNumber' variable is set to 10 (you increase it by 1 every time) .. so in the end when you destroy "Fire[ArrayNumber]" you actually destroy "Fire[10]".

In short you only need 1 loop that destroys Fire[0-9]:

JASS:
set ArrayNumber = 0
loop
    call DestroyEffect( Fire[ArrayNumber] )
    exitwhen ArrayNumber == 9
    set ArrayNumber = ArrayNumber + 1
endloop
(it's free-written but should work)

Oh, and once again, work about optimization .. MUCH work to be done.

I'll try it but the raising units don't die either. And were do I put the loop?

You never kill them .. there's no logic for them to die :p

Add something like:
JASS:
set ArrayNumber = 0
loop
    call DestroyUnit( Effect[ArrayNumber] )
    exitwhen ArrayNumber == 39
    set ArrayNumber = ArrayNumber + 1
endloop
And optimize this code.

I'm talking about units. The effects die but the units don't. I just go a theory how to fix it and I'll reply when I do.

    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
