[Solved] Custom value of item

[nedio95]

So what it is and what it is used for ?

Edit/ I can kinda imagine it but not rly sure if im right

I'm sure there are other uses for it. But how I use it; is sometimes I need to categorize certain items, and I want to change the category in game several times over the course of the game. I'll use custom value to do this. To my knowledge and someone correct me if I am wrong, but custom values are the only integer of an item that can be changed through triggers.

for example it can be as a index.

it can be difrent type, custom value = 1 = weapon

Hmm... That sounds realy important...

It can be used to set Ownership, saving the ownerst unit handle as the custom value of the item, or saving the player number of the owner as the custom value.

Why use a custom value as one particulair property if you can link any property by using the custom value as an index of a item array?

With this I mean that you can index all your items in an array and assign a unique custom value to each item.
Which in return means each custom value is different for each item, so any property can be assigned to each item by using the custom value as an index.
