[Trigger] Can Items still be renamed by triggers?

[Veronnis]

It appears that I am unable to use the trigger [Set name of (Item) to (String)]. It is no longer changing the name of the item like it used to in my experience, is this yet another bug regarding item triggers? If so they really screwed up items ><, maybe somehow its just me? Does that happen for anyone else?

The below doesn't appear to be working for me either. Only the extended tooltip gets changed.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet TempItem = Claws of Attack +15 0001 <gen>
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: ((Name of TempItem) + has been modified.)
    • Item - Set Name of TempItem to Test 1
    • Item - Set Tooltip of TempItem to Test 2
    • Item - Set Tooltip of TempItem to Test 3
    • Item - Set Extended Tooltip of TempItem to Test 4

I'm not sure this helps, but it may help demonstrate your problem to others. Can anyone else comment if this is user error or a bug?

Edit: Fixed up an error in the trigger and attached screnshots Results seem the same regardless of event and only affects the Extended Tooltip. Attached pictures for reference

With your verification it does unfortunately look like a bug; unfortunately my map also relies on it working lol. Hopefully it can get fixed, a lot of effort relies on it ><

Hi, you can't make an another item, and exchange it when your condition is true ?

 

[Veronnis]

I actually have an inventory and item system that stores all it's effects and attributes as a string in the icon path of the item. It's name is always randomly generated like in Diablo based on what stats it has and it's rarity. So while your suggestion would probably work in most cases, my system creates so many unique items that it would be unreasonable for me to use that solution.

Custom UI is always an option. There's no reason you have to be limited to Warcraft 3's inventory system, unless of course you're using an older patch.

If you're interested you should check out some of Tasyen's resources.

I will!

Have you tried dropping and re-adding the item to the unit? I recall that with some text changes that was required for them to take affect.

It was never in the inventory while being renamed, however I just test that picking up and then dropping said item still did not change its name.
