Does anyone know a way to make it so instead of buying items with gold you can buy them with lumber or food?

 

[Djinn1995]

there is Stats - Lumber Cost and change the 0 to something else.

I'm guessing you'd need to make a mercenary camp and give the units sold names after items.
When players buy the units trigger it so that they're given the item they bought and have the actual units have a scaling value/selection scale/shadow of 0.001 and give them locust and invul.

But this is only if you really want the food thing, otherwise use the regular items with lumber cost, which can be set as Djinn said.

K 1 more before I mark it as solved and hand out rep

Can you do the same thing with food?

 

[Djinn1995]

i only think you can do that with triggers but i am not sure

 

[Atticus]

Can you atleast change the icons when you go to purchase something from a tree to something else?

 

[Djinn1995]

yes you can in Advanced -> Gameplay Interface -> Icon - Gold (lumber and food is also there)

 

[Atticus]

Not the icons at the top Ive already changed those. The ones actually on the items. Where it has a pictures of a tree and says something like "Requires 1 tree to purchase"

 

[Djinn1995]

ahhhh maybe Advanced -> Gameplay Interaface -> Image - Tooltip Lumber icon

 

[Atticus]

Ah thank you very much. And there is absolutely no way you can use food as a type of resource?


EDIT: +rep btw

 

[Djinn1995]

im pretty sure you can by using triggers

 

[Atticus]

Alright thank you very much you have been a big help.

 

[Djinn1995]

maybe these triggers

• Food item cost
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Owner of (Buying unit)) Food used) Less than ((Owner of (Buying unit)) Food cap)
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Food Dummy for (Owner of (Buying unit)) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Else - Actions
        • Item - Remove (Sold Item)

 

[Atticus]

• ((Owner of (Buying unit)) Food used) Less than ((Owner of (Buying unit)) Food cap)

is that an integer comparison?

And how would I make a item comparison at the top like (Item Sold)=Ring of Protection

 

[Djinn1995]

yep that is an integer comparision
and the other thing is like this

• (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to Ring of Protection +5

a item type comparision

 

[Jerrin]

It'd be smarter to use if/then/else, as otherwise you'd be forced to do a trigger for each item.

And the condition you'd want is Item-type Comparison
