[Trigger] Do items need abilities?

[Muziksss]

Hello , last few hours im tryin' to make work this trigger , so i just wanted to ask if Items do need abilities to be able to run triggers?

• Raw Meat
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to |cff80ff80 Meat
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ha"

Yes. Otherwise, that event won't fire the trigger.


EDIT/OFF:
I noticed that after a power up item like tome of agility is picked up, the RemoveItem function doesn't work properly - only the tome model disappears. Also, EnumItemsInRect native still detects it.

Hi BloodSoul , thanks for your reply,

so... I have to use Different abilities everytime i want to do e.g. increment any of the vars? i mean as ex.

I got var called "points" & if i got more items incrementing this var by x depending on item. do i have to use different abilities or it can be done by one ability ?

 

[BloodSoul]

Use a dummy ability for all of them. You should be able to distinguish which item type has just been picked up.

Well it should not be triggering on pickup but on usage

My fault. I was thinking of power up items at that moment. However, that event still works either way.

So theoreticaly (if i understand dummy casters) i can have infinite possibilities of spells casted through dummy caster? Dummy caster wont trigger all of the order strings at once?

 

[BloodSoul]

Dummy casters? I thought you were talking about executing a trigger upon an item being used. When I said "dummy ability", I meant one that has no effect at all; creating an empty ability and giving it to an item, so that you be able of detecting whenever such item is used.

 

[Muziksss]

Well i was talking about that , but right now i'm confused as you're , so could you make a simple trigger on how i could done that u've just said?

6 different items that have the same ability. Each item creates a different special effect via triggers. Though, there's a little problem that I forgot to consider: All of them have the same mana cost, cooldown, and their ability is "immediate"/instant (like thunder clap, war stomp, fan of knives, etc...).
