How do I make it where the unit controlled by the computer uses it's abilities ? The computer controlled unit on my map doesnt use any of it's abilities.

Also how do I make a enemy unit drop items on death ? When he isnt on the map untill later.

To 1. Use fixed player settings (Scenario/Force Properties), and be sure you set the controller of the player to computer (in Scenario/Player Properties)

To 2. Looking up the triggers, plz wait

Hm, there's no trigger to add an item drop to a unit. But you can do it by triggers, e.g.

ItemCreation
Events
Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
Actions
Item - Create (Random level 3 item-type) at (Position of (Dying unit))

I dont think I was clear on the second question.

I wanted a hero to drop a certain item when he is killed but since the hero is not on the map untill later im not sure how to add it.

I tried the stuff you guys suggested and some others but it still wont work.

You mean: A hero shall drop an item out of his inventory on his death (specific item or all items?)

I will create a trigger for a specific item drop on dead and add it to this post in some mins

OK, here it is.


Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies
Conditions
  • ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Or - Any (Conditions) are true
    Conditions
    [list:c4c4aa0c0b](Item-type of (Item carried by (Dying unit) in slot 1)) Equal to [YourItem]
    (Item-type of (Item carried by (Dying unit) in slot 2)) Equal to [YourItem]
    (Item-type of (Item carried by (Dying unit) in slot 3)) Equal to [YourItem]
    (Item-type of (Item carried by (Dying unit) in slot 4)) Equal to [YourItem]
    (Item-type of (Item carried by (Dying unit) in slot 5)) Equal to [YourItem]
    (Item-type of (Item carried by (Dying unit) in slot 6)) Equal to [YourItem]
[/list:u:c4c4aa0c0b]
