[Trigger] Detect when a unit drops an item

[Ironside]

Hello, I'm making a trigger, which needs to be started when a specific unit drops an item. Is this possible to detect?

 

[Hate]

periodically check items of unit, if there are not item at hero then its dropped

• drop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • And - All (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • HeroItem[(Integer A)] Not Equal (Item carried by MyUnit in slot (Integer A))
                • (MyUnit has HeroItem[(Integer A)]) Equals Not
          • Then - Actions
            • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of HeroItem[(Integer A)])
          • Else - Actions
        • Set HeroItem[(Integer A)] = (Item carried by MyUnit in slot (Integer A))

I think this would work wrong if they simply put the item to a different slot.

 

[Hate]

no its not, pay more attention to conditions

 

[Ironside]

Alright then, thanks for the trigger.

 

[Nichilus]

Don't put "And" block into the condition block. It's useless and serves no purpose. Condition block by default is "And" block.

Why periodic check? What is wrong with "Unit drops/loses item" as event?

 

[Ironside]

Unit drops item doesn't exist, and unit loses item didn't seem to trigger for item drops.

 

[IcemanBo]

Of course it works with item drops.

Edit:

If it doesn't work for you, then post your trigger, please.

 

[Ironside]

Okay, the event is registered like this along with sells and pawns an item (those two work - same trigger):

• Trigger - Add to The Perfect Clone Item Mod <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Loses an item)

This is the actual trigger:

• The Perfect Clone Item Mod
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Drop the item from slot (Integer A) of ThePerfectClone[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
        • Item - Remove (Last dropped item)
        • Item - Create (Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))) at (Position of ThePerfectClone[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])
        • Item - Make (Last created item) Undroppable
        • Hero - Give (Last created item) to ThePerfectClone[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]

And yes, I'm aware of the leaks, but I won't fix those until this actually works.

1. You don't need a loop.
2. You don't need to create same item. (and you do it wrong, because you will always create itemType of <Empty Slot>)

Can it be you only want this single action?

Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to (Triggering unit)

 

[Ironside]

No, the point is that this trigger synces the inventory of the hero and the clone. So when the original buys, sells, drops an item, I refresh all 6 slots with the items of the original hero.

 

[IcemanBo]

Loop from 1-6 and check "ItemType In Slot LoopIndex for CloneUnit == ItemType of Item being manipulated". If true you drop it for clone and exit the loop.

An other question. Have you access to unit + cloneUnit at same time? Is it really necessary that they have same items at same time?

 

[Ironside]

Yeah, it's a similar mechanism as Meepo in dota, if you're familiar with it.

Anyway, found the issue, I had to add a small sleep action before entering the loop and now it works.

Thanks for the help.
