[Trigger] Cinematics Conflicting? (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit))))

[Mallaboro]

Ok... is there anyway to make the unit giving the NPC the item the triggering unit? Because I want to make the player able to actually drop the item onto the NPC, not just walk up to it and have the item vanish.

• Quest 4 OPTIONAL Part 4
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Muhr (Female) 0001 <gen>
    • (Item-class of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to (Item-class of QUEST_4_ITEM_ring)
  • Actions
    • Quest - Mark QUEST_4_OPTIONAL as Completed
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
      • Then - Actions

first of all, why the ifs? and define more about the "more quest active" and when you have more active, they will bug, do you complete them at the same time or something?

ok, I know why now. They aren't the triggering unit because the hero is giving the NPC the item, they're just causing the trigger to activate by giving an item to the unit making it the triggering unit! OK - but how can I work my way around this?

first of all, why the ifs? and define more about the "more quest active" and when you have more active, they will bug, do you complete them at the same time or something?

I use the IFs because it makes it easier to then copy-paste all the fields (apply cinematic, ect), then all I have to do is change the camera, which unit is talking, ect, other dialog.

-sigh- changed first post. I could really do with some help here. Been at this for well over 12 hours today. Basically, I want a player to give a unit an item and then have that player and only that player put in a cinematic. All help appreciated, as always.

Which unit are you trying to reference, the unit that is giving the NPC the item, or the NPC?

When a unit gives an item to another unit, it triggers two events. It triggers the event "Unit acquires item" and "Unit loses item". In "Unit acquires item", (Get triggering unit) refers to the unit that "receives" the item. In "Unit loses an item", (Get triggering unit) refers to the unit that has transferred it's item to another unit.

i don't know about item class. why not use

• (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to QUEST_4_ITEM_ring

 

[Mallaboro]

I want the unit who gave the NPC to be the unit affected by the actions.
So, if I were to use a unit loses an item, I'd need to make it so it only works if a specific NPC were to then gain this item. :/ I don't think I can explain it anymore than that. Still trying to find an alternative. Help greatly appreciated.

This works. Not sure if it's going to mess with other quests but meh.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Loses an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-tActions
  • Wait 0.10 seconds
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Sister Alexus 0117 <gen> has QUEST_5_ITEM_Flowers) Equal to True
    • Then - Actions

I made a tiny map so you can check it out. It works fine with item type and no waits. To look at the trigger for the part, check the "Success" trigger..

My map allows you to choose between several different heroes, so unless I set every players chosen hero as the variablo unit that could be the triggering unit, thats not going to work. But anyway, I've found this works quite well. Thanks for the effort though.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Loses an item

      • Set FadingFloatingText = (Last created floating text)
      • Floating Text - Change FadingFloatingText: Disable permanence
      • Floating Text - Change the fading age of FadingFloatingText to 2.00 seconds
      • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of FadingFloatingText to 3.00 seconds

^ which is why I have the "wait 0.10 seconds" in the first trigger shown in this post. Thanks though
