Combining Items of the same type

[Fjoelnir]

Hello,

I understand that there are literally thounsands of posts on this website and many others for the very same function, but nowhere I could find an answer that helped me, so I decided to post this myself, should any kind soul see and lend their help.

I have been trying to figure this one out for literally ages, and still haven't found a satisfactory solution / come to a good understanding of this trigger.

Issue is I am not very familiar with trigger / less with variables. I tried to follow the triggers written on the forums but whenever there's variables etc I seem to get stuck, and can never solve this problem.

Please could someone explain this trigger function from the basic and also post an example of such a trigger so I can download and see for myself what's inside?

What I specifically want to do is:

1) combine Claws of Attack +5 *3 = Claws of Attack +9
2) combine Claws of Attack +5 *2 + Gloves of Haste = Dagger (Atk speed +10%, Dmg +8)
3) combine Claws of Attack +9 *2 + Special Item(or Recipe) = Searing Blade

If doing all this is too complicated or you think takes of a lot of your time, I would be very happy if only 1 could be solved.

Thank you very much and have a good day,

are you on wc3 patch 1.35?
so if you have 3 claws of attack(+5) you want them to combine into claws(+9)?

Ideally you would have an item hastable/index but I could make a simpler solution for you.

A bit of a rough draft could be improved with more variables instead of "event responses". probably a lot of other ways to make this trigger better or completely different concepts that would be more ideal but I think this will accomplish what you want at a minimum:

Wow.. thank you so much for the fast & very rigorous reply..

I had to take some time to read through what's happening, and I think I got what the trigger means, though with difficulty.

I've tested (copy-pasted yours) on the map I want to use this trigger, and I think it's working. At the moment I'm just at a stage where I just carefully copy paste the triggers you wrote & changing items and such to expand on the items I want to combine, but I am so glad at least something finally seems to be working on the map I want to use. Thank you very much again.

I have seen some other trigger which looked very simple and tried to follow, but again at variables I got stuck, and with the understanding I got from looking at your script I will try to peruse and understand that one again. Basically I want to make triggers to combine many basic items in the game to create the next level version and maybe involve some OP campaign items.

Thank you again for your time and effort,
