Item inside unit inventory on death?

[Pinzu]

I was thinking of giving every unit a item to show its current upgrade level. But I heard somewhere that items don't get removed properly. So my question is, what happens with items inside units on death?

if it is a normal unit, i think it drops all items from inventory on death.

Only if you tag it to drop on death.

if show only for players make 1 unit that is not fighting like just stand there then give item and upgrade item

I think what you said is true for non-hero inventory skill, or non-hero inventory skill on non-hero units.

Maybe I confused normal items with this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...up-1-2-a-201057/?prev=search=item&d=list&r=20

that is however only for tomes, because when you use them, you get buffed, but the tome/upgrade itself never leaves the game.

I think I have a proof that this is the case for general items as well

You can specify in the Inventory Ability if the unit should drop items when dying.

Units have the unit inventory and heroes have the hero inventory as default. But there is nothing stopping you from giving a unit the hero inventory or creating your own custom inventory spell.

Just don't give non-hero units tomes. They crash the game.

Why use items?
Why not use abilities?
Make an ability based of Attribute bonus (as you can hide the icon and remove all effects) and use that one.

Just out of curiosity, is that for tome of health and tome of power as well, or only attribute tomes?

you cant share abilities, you can share items(for instance)
