Automatic Seller

[Karzama]

Hi

I've just started making a map where there is generally a lot of loot. (Most of which you want to sell) So I thought it would be good to have a unit that when it picks an item up it automatically sells it, however I have no idea how to do this!!! Any ideas?

There is the "Unit acquires item" event and the "Player - Add Property" action. You could also order the unit/another one to pawn the item to a dummy shop.

The second would probably work better due to multiple different costs. What abilities would I need to have on the dummy shop?

 

[WaterKnight]

Normal shop abilities. Probably "Purchase item" (Apit) or "Sell items" (Asid).

The shop has both of those abilities but the item is still not sold. Does the shop need to be a building?

Anyway the item does get removed from the unit that picks it up so that part works fine, just doesn't get sold.

Here's the trigger:

Trigger

• Travelling Merchant
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Travelling Merchant (Claptrap) for (Hero manipulating item)) Greater than or equal to 1

    • Set TempUnit = (Last created unit)
    • Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to TempUnit

You give the item wrong way, if you want unit to naturally sell item try Unit - Order U1 to give Item1 to U2

• sellitem
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing dodo as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order Paladin 0000 <gen> to give (Item carried by Paladin 0000 <gen> in slot 1) to Goblin Merchant 0001 <gen>
