[General] is there any way to create a build system based on crafting

[andreasaspenberg]

i am researching a new build system idea based on using items to teach units spells to construct buildings. that in itself is working but, how can i make purchased items stackable?

how can i make items stackable?

Give the item charges. Use the following action to set the number of charges. You may also have to set the item's classification to "Charged" in the object editor (Items - Stats - Classification).

• Item - Set charges remaining in your_item to x

You can change the number of charges of a stackable item when that item type is acquired, removing the item they actually acquired from the game.

How do you manage to read posts or even open the world editor?

Ok andreas. We all know you refuse to read tutorials, so to sum everything up:

A good place to start is the mini tower item for your completed combinations that you will use to create the structures.

For the actual item stacking, you probably want two items, one that the player picks up (Probably a Powerup) and one that will stay in your inventory. When the Unit picks Up Item A, you give the unit Item B, or add a charge to Item B.
For Example, Both Item A and Item B are Sticks. The 'Item A' Stick is what you pick up and then you add charges to your 'Item B' Sticks, contained in the inventory.

To combine items, create an ability then make a trigger that checks for charges and items type and then remove charges/items based on your requirements then give the hero the structure item.

i have a learning disability that cause me to quickly get tired when i learn stuff. after watching 9 circus shows in 3 days i am more tired than usual. there is an ability for build tiny farm and i can use that on a unit then remove it once used. my current trigger uses the activation of 1 item to activate another an teach the unit an ability.
