Easy Item Stack 'n Split v2.7.4 [Unmaintained]

Easy Item Stack 'n Split v2.7.4
by Dangerb0y



This system is outdated and unmaintained as I'm no longer making WC3 maps. Thank you to everyone who's used and supported this system over the years. I enjoyed it so much that I became a full-time developer and have no free time anymore :gg:

If anyone would like to take over development and maintenance, please feel free to
PM me.



FEATURES:
- Automatically stacks obtained items to an optional stack limit.
- Allows stacking items within a unit's inventory.
- Allows splitting item stacks within a unit's inventory.
- Allows units to seamlessly pick up items regardless of a full inventory.
- Copy-paste implementation.

STACKING ITEMS:
- Obtained items are automatically stacked with same-type items in a unit's inventory.
- Placing same-type items on top of each other will stack them together.

SPLITTING ITEMS:
- Double right-clicking or dropping an item stack on itself will split 1 off the pile. (optional)
- Consecutively split items will stack together. (optional)
- If a unit's inventory slots are full when splitting an item stack, the split item will be dropped on the ground in front of the unit. (optional)

ITEM STACKS:
- The maximum stack size is set by the item's level in the Object Editor (Shift+Double-click allows entering levels greater than 8).
- Setting an item's level to 0 will give it an unlimited stack size.
- Items must have charges in order to be stacked; non-charged items will function as Blizzard intended.

RELEASE NOTES:
- This system can be implemented into just about any map.
- This system is completely leak-free.
- This system is completely lag-free.
- This system is fully MUI and MPI.
- This system works with all inventory sizes.
- This system does NOT use hashtables or gamecache, i.e. it is much faster.
- This system is available in vJASS and GUI.

IMPLEMENTATION (vJASS):
1) Copy the trigger "EasyItemStacknSplit" to your Trigger Editor.
You must have JNGP + The Latest JassHelper to implement this version!

IMPLEMENTATION (GUI):
1) In map view, go to File > Preferences... and tick "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" under the General tab.
2) Copy the trigger "EasyItemStacknSplitGUI" to your Trigger Editor.

UPDATING? Make sure to first delete old EasyItemStacknSplit triggers and, if you use the GUI version, all the variables with the "EasyItem" prefix.

1) Create a blank text document on your desktop and name it "blank.wav".
2) Import it with Import Manager and give it the custom path "Sound\Interface\Warning\Human\KnightInventoryFull1.wav".
Repeat this step for the following:
- "Sound\Interface\Warning\Orc\GruntInventoryFull1.wav"
- "Sound\Interface\Warning\Naga\NagaInventoryFull1.wav"
- "Sound\Interface\Warning\Undead\NecromancerInventoryFull1.wav"
- "Sound\Interface\Warning\NightElf\SentinelInventoryFull1.wav"
3) In map view, go to Advanced > Game interface... look for "Text - Message - 'Inventory is full.'" and put in a single space as its value.
4) Give yourself a firm yet gentle pat on the back. :)

v2.0.1:
--> Fixed minor sound bug in vJASS version.
--> Optimized code a bit more in vJASS version.
v2.0:
--> Completely revamped code to allow full inventory usage!
--> Removed the JASS version and added a vJASS version. Anyone coding in JASS should be doing it in vJASS anyway.
v1.7:
--> Optimized code slightly more.
--> Added GUI version for the GUIers.
v1.6:
--> Converted to JASS for better optimization and easier implementation.
--> Optimized code for slightly faster execution.
--> Added more comments.
v1.5:
--> Changed loops to use a set variable to avoid any conflict with other loops in a map. Thank you to Caedrus for picking this up.
v1.4:
--> Fixed a bug (which somehow created itself after months of working fine) causing items not to split properly. Thank you to 88WaRCraFT3 for picking this up.
v1.3:
--> Added several comments to the script to make it easier to understand.
v1.2:
--> Fixed a bug causing split-off-stack-and-auto-dropped items to be placed at position of unit instead of in front of it.
v1.1:
--> Fixed point leaks caused by creating items at points with polar offsets. This system is now 100% leak-free!
+REP for anyone who finds a bug or leak for me to fix :)

Review for Spell

I suppose it can be useful for other GUI users. The other GUI ones
IIRC aren't as advanced as this, therefor I will approve this.

There are loads of systems like this, only thing difrent here is that he has good eye atraction(the collors of the letters and screenshot) :p

You're right about the eye attraction :thumbs_up:, but i'm gonna have to disagree with you that there are loads of systems like this... i may be wrong, so if you can find a system like this (as easy to implement, completely bug & leak free, MUI & MPI, and as functional) please post a link so i can tell you why my system is still better :grin:

well if you ask me like that:grin::grin:
:fp:My Bag and Advanced Item System
It does the same as yours and many more things and you just need to implement 1 trigger without any variables...

But know serious again:
Your system is very good, too, most for GUI beginners which want to learn!!

Yeah I've seen your system before. It has 1 or 2 kinks mentioned in the thread, but otherwise very nice. Still quite different to mine though.

Thanks dude. That was pretty much what I was going for. Especially the GUI.

It doesn't stack items if your inventory is full.

If you have five stacks of 3 mana potions, and one stack of one mana potion, and you try to pick up more potions, it doesn't stack them. It just says inventory full.

But I guess there's no way around it unless you base the thing around runes.

Yeah, the plan for this system was never really to solve the full-inventory-stacking problem, its purpose is just to add some much needed inventory capabilities to any map with little effort, and to be easily understandable by the average GUIer. A while ago i coded a system based on this one that gets around the full inventory problem, both with picking up and buying items, but as you mentioned, Maker, it works with runes which makes implementing it not so "easy" anymore...

The simple way around it for me would be to use my own system :)

I'm still on the lookout for easier ways of overcoming the full inv problem, so if you have a link to your system please post it so we can take a look.

try my bag system again...
you see that you can still pick up stackable items, even if your inventory is full!!
this can be done in GUI, too...

if you are interested in that method i'll tell you, but plz PM me!

As soon as i get some free time i'll definitely be interested in GUIing your method. it would be really nice to implement this feature without mapmakers having to make duplicate items and what not. I'll PM you..

Thanks for the comments other people, glad you enjoy the system :thumbs_up:

This is great! It's simple yet effective. However I converted it into JASS for better optimization and configureability. I hope it helps somebody.

Well, I've got a bit of a problem with this system. I imported it exactly as the directions suggested (just copied the trigger and variables), and it seems to interfere rather severely with all timers and loops in my game. I can't seem to figure out exactly *why* this is, but it's definitely coming from this system, since disabling the item stack and split trigger fixes everything.

What could be causing such game-breaking interference? Any help would be greatly appreciated; I would love to be able to use this system without utterly breaking the rest of my game :)

(Link to relevant game: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/last-tower-v1-10-a-164641/index3.html)

EDIT: I seem to have found the issue... the "Integer A" loops were interfering with the "Integer A" loops already in the game. Replacing it with a unique variable loop fixed the issue. Perhaps you should consider using a unique variable for your loops (eg loop for integer variable instead of loop for integer A) so that games can't glitch from using the same variable simultaneously when newbies like me import it ;)

5/5 rating and +rep, in any case. Great resource!

Well, I've got a bit of a problem with this system...

Just when I thought I was cruising down bug-free lane :xxd: Better to find them than not I guess... Many thanks Caedrus. That's quite the esoteric of bugs.

For anyone experiencing what Caedrus was, I've uploaded a new version of the system. Please also check out the IMPLEMENTATION steps again as I've had to add one more variable to properly iron out this bug.

P.S. I played your Last Tower map, Caedrus. Very nice.

It's not really a "bug" (as there's nothing inherently wrong with using the default A/B loops on their own) so much as it's just more likely to interfere with (or be interfered with by) pre-existing systems when not using a unique variable since many people will use the default "Integer A" or "Integer B" loop triggers (and you can't run more than one of those at the same time).

Anyways, glad I could be of help in any case.

P.S. I played your Last Tower map, Caedrus. Very nice.

Glad you liked it :thumbs_up:

I'd appreciate hearing your feedback in the comments thread for TLT.

This system is excellent.

It's flawless, simple to implement, easy to use or modify, and is the most flexible GUI item stacking and splitting system I have ever seen. You can expect me to use this in a few of my projects, and will be crediting you, of course. Thank you!

5/5 + Repped

I'm glad you noticed :wink: haha. Thanks for the positive response guy, and the rep of course, much appreciated. I'm going to be working on a possible v2.0 of this system, so keep an eye out!

can charged items stack even when the inventory is already full?

Sorry man, I must have missed your post. You can stack charged items that are already in your inventory when it's full, but you can't pick up items when your inventory is full. It's just one of War3's annoying limitations. There are ways to do it of course, but it gets quite complicated.

lol and to think that the last version of this system that i have is 1.4 xD
very nice man this is one of the best triggers on hive workshop :thumbs_up:
keep up the good work with your awesome system ;D

All in a day's work :thumbs_up: very glad you like it.

How's going with the update?

Did any part of our convo even remotely suggest that there will be an update at all?

That being said, v2.0 is on the way... :wink:
