[Trigger] Help with a "crafting" trigger

[thenigg]

Hi guys I am working on a new game largely based off of Kuulgryphun3's Wilderness Survival. It is kind of similar to Island Troll Tribes in sense that you can gather things and craft them. However the way you craft things is by having them in your inventory in any order (unlike ITT) and pressing the ability "Make". I was wondering how I could set up the trigger so that when this ability is activated, it checks what items are in your inventory and finds out the possible combinations. Then, it brings up another menu, similar to the regular build menu and shows what possible items can be crafted. Finally, when you click one of those items, it puts that item in your inventory and removes the items used to craft that item. For example, (Stick + Stick = Big Stick) if you have 2 sticks in your inventory and you press make, it will show the build menu with the only option of building a big stick. Or, if that is too difficult, it will simply just put a big stick in your inventory. The problem is, this has to be calibrated for a large scale basis because there will be several different recipes.

I know this looks like a complicated problem, but I am new to this community and I would really appreciate some help!

You basicly need to check each time if a recipe can be made by the items the unit have.

For example, you have a recipe that needs a Hide and 2 sticks (hmm... a tent maybe ? ), you'll check it like this:

If yourUnit has Stick and another Stick and a Hide, add option "Build Tent" to dialog.

I think this will be pretty hard to make in GUI so I suggest Jass.
Maybe ill try to make it tommarow.

Thank you. I actually found Diablo-dk's recipe system and I think I can tweak it to suit my needs. I just need to make it not an auto combine.
