How to check if an item got dropped in a certain region?

[Nordmar]

I am asking because the following trigger does not work:

• Unbezeichneter Auslöser 001
  • Ereignisse
    • Einheit - A unit Verliert einen Gegenstand
  • Bedingungen
    • ((Item being manipulated) is in left circle <gen>) Gleich True
  • Aktionen
    • Spiel - Display to (All players) the text: sdfasf

Sorry I don't speak that language. What event is that?

It's German. The event is "a unit loses an item" then he checks if the item is in a region.

I'm not sure if the item even has a position yet when that event fires. Maybe just check if the (Triggering unit) is in that region since the drop radius is usually pretty small.

If that is true, he can try and get "Hero manipulating item" position instead.

That's the same thing as (Triggering unit), FYI. Though (Triggering unit) is better as you can copy+paste similar code into different events without changing it.

Not sure if this will work.

Can you get the order ID of the drop items. I think there would only be 6 different order IDs for each slot. You can then check if the order is within the region.

I am pretty sure I have a trigger that does exactly this in my own map. I can't check right now, but I will try to find it to answer this.

I haven't looked at the trigger in a long time (since it works), but basically, there is a small spot to drop this one item. When you drop it there, it transforms into another item. I assume this is similar to what you want to do (at least the event is).

Anyway, it won't be until around 6 or 7 hours from now that I get back to you on this :/ I am at work lol.

hm, I could create a unit when the item is droped and then check if the created unit is in range of this region. I am still not sure how to do it...I think I will just do it with Time - Every 0,03 sec and check if the region contains the item :/ ^^

0.10 or 0.20 is enough of an interval for a check like that. You only use 0.03 when you want fluid animation of a moving object.

yes I know. I wouldn't have used 0.03. Probably would go with 0.5. Just copied what the guy before said with 0,03
