Potion Refill Need Help

[zicron]

I just started to dealing the map editor recently and I am facing a problem to make an item which can refill itself when entering a region and in the same time it is not item slot specific.

example
When a unit enter a region and then it will refill the empty bottle to make it usable.(the filled bottle will take the slot position of the empty bottle and replace it)

Can someone please show me how to do so by using GUI trigger.

Thank.

for the second trigger, instead of a periodic event why dont just make a
Unit - Enters Region event?

Then this trigger
This trigger will refill the bottle.

You forgot to mention it will also render the map unplayable in a few minutes due to leaks...
Also do nothing is stupid and pointless (its an empty function call). Never use Do Nothing.

The trigger for refilling should use the enter region event.

a unit group for every .01 seconds.... sigh.... maybe you can give him the new trigger?

If I use Unit-Enters Region well for this reason

If a unit uses a rune inside the region, it won't refill and the unit needs to return to the region again.

[Dr Super Good]

cboy123, then your triggering is bad, as that does not even make sense as it would respond when the unit enters a region before he can use any items in it.

I am aware that using the potions in the region would be a problem then as they would not refil, but if nescescary an extra check can be added to the potion consumtion trigger to cover this and it is certainly better than running a expensive bit of code 100 times a second while leaking 100 groups of all units in the rect.

Ohhh Now I understand
