How can i make a trigger that triggers just before a unit picks up/buys an item? I think there is not such event... I would like to make it possible to buy/pick up item recipes etc with full eq as it is in dota.
 
in DotA it seems that the recipe is a powerup (it disappears as soon as it's picked, such as tomes). Then if the recipe is already fulfilled, the result-item is given to the hero, or else the recipe-item is created.

you can use the order "smart" when the hero is issued an order targeting an object (it's like "pick up item" order). But there's no order when you buy an item.

Well, I have done my own recipe system based on handle vars. Items can now be bought/picked up with full eq as i made a copy of each item and set it as a powerup. So my problem has already been solved:p Ty anyway
