Event - Item Dies or similiar?

[TheGloomfrost]

I was wondering if there was a JASS way to detect this, as I have a problem with my items having doodad models like outland flowers, and when they die, they basically freeze on the map and i can't find any way to remove their "dead" model.. is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Get better models. I mean, any half-good modeller can add Death animations to a model.

I know, but I have like 7 different models, and I'm not a modeler.

In any case, that's not necessary the answer, this question can be applied to much more complex structures like item minigames, puzzles, and others.

Just so you guys know, this SUPPOSEDLY works, but I don't use newgen, so I can't add it in:

library Typecast

    globals
        private hashtable ht = InitHashtable()
    endglobals

    function Widget2Item takes widget w returns item
        call SaveWidgetHandle(ht, 0, 0, w)
        return LoadItemHandle(ht, 0, 0)
    endfunction

endlibrary

Add the library

local widget w

set w = GetLastCreatedItem()   
call TriggerRegisterDeathEvent( gg_Item_Remove, w)

Add this to all the Crop Triggers

function Item_Remove takes nothing returns nothing
    call RemoveItem(Widget2Item(GetTriggerWidget()))
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function Init_Item_Remove takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_Item_Remove = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_Item_Remove, function Item_Remove )
endfunction

Add this trigger

You should be able to figure it out =]
