Giving items to Units

[DeathDeamon]

I cannot figure out how to give items to a unit with inventory, not a hero. Because there is no trigger that I know of for giving a unit an item.

What i want to do is when a unit is created it is given an item that would be created once it finished its training

1) just try using the hero triggers, i think it should work anyways.

2) after creating a unit, create the item next to that unit and then order your created unit to "rightclick" on the item.
success,

[Edit: Dont forget to give "itembags" ability to your units first]

Don't you ahve the Frozen Throne or what? Just use the Inventory(hero) ability (add it to the unit) and the items will have the effect on units. I think its preety simple... :roll:

yes whatever unit you are trying to give the items to has to have an inventory, once you have set that in the object editor then make a trigger something like this:

• 
  event
  Unit - A Unit Finishes training a unit
  Condition
  //if there is no specific unit then dont specify the unit here, if there is only a specific unit trained you want to have the item then:
  (unit trained) is equal to (IGetTheItems)
  Action
  Hero - Create "Item for the Unit" and give it to (trained unit)

remember you can always specify for special units with the "action" "if/then/else" string (if unit one then item 1, if unit 2 then item 2)

hope this helps

First in the Object Editor you would give your unit an inventory at the top where it says "Abilities".

Then create your trigger and after it says "Unit - Create 1 (your unit)" add Set DropUnit for Last created unit. Then whenever you want the item dropped on your unit, you would do the following trigger. But just to get this right, you said that once a unit finishes training, you wanted the item dropped on the unit. So:

Events
Unit - A unit finishes construction

Conditions
Unit - Trained unit equal to (your unit)

Actions
Unit - Create 1 DropItemDummy
Unit - Set expiration timer on Last created unit to 1.00 seconds
Item - Create (your item) at position of DropItemDummy
Set ItemDropped to Last dropped item
Unit - Order DropItemDummy to right-click ItemDropped
Unit - Order DropItemDummy to drop ItemDropped on (your unit)

Have fun!

Edit: I had started writing this before someone else had posted... but I had to go somewhere so I couldn't finish. Anyway, I hope that this can still help you.
