[General] Help with Item Recipes

[NoQLiphot]

I need help on my "Item Recipes" I wanted to create a trigger that even your inventory is full, you can still complete the recipe.
This trigger doesn't work on me

• Item Mask of Death
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Claws of Attack +15
        • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Crown of Kings +5
        • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Kelen's Dagger of Escape
    • ((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type Claws of Attack +15) Equal to True
    • ((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type Crown of Kings +5) Equal to True
    • ((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type Kelen's Dagger of Escape) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set I_Mod_Ingredients = 3
    • Set I_Mod_RFactor[1] = Claws of Attack +15
    • Set I_Mod_RFactor[2] = Crown of Kings +5
    • Set I_Mod_RFactor[3] = Kelen's Dagger of Escape
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to I_Mod_Ingredients, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set I_Mod_Factor[(Integer A)] = False
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • For each (Integer B) from 1 to I_Mod_Ingredients, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to I_Mod_RFactor[(Integer B)]
                • I_Mod_Factor[(Integer B)] Equal to False
              • Then - Actions
                • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))
                • Set I_Mod_Factor[(Integer B)] = True
              • Else - Actions
    • Hero - Create Mask of Death and give it to (Hero manipulating item)

To do that, you need to have a 'Tome' version of each of your items so that you can pick the item at full inventory.

 

[NoQLiphot]

oh, so that's how it is done. thanks man

 

[NoQLiphot]

so all the item recipes should be in the "tome" form sir?

 

[Flux]

No, each item should have a 'tome' equivalent. Examplr, when your map has boots of speed, you also need to have a 'tome' version of boots of speed and when a unit dropped a 'real' boots of speed, trigger it and replace the 'real' by a 'tome'. When a unit picked a 'tome', replace it by a 'real'.

EDIT: Triggering this will be complex. If you want to get an idea, look at my No Item Sharing System in my sig. It has similar concept.

So basically everything in the Shop List is a Tome, whereas you would setup a trigger in which each Tome correspond to each Item in the Object Editor.

• Set ItemTome[1] = Boots of Speed (Tome)
• Set ItemReal[1] = Boots of Speed
• ...
• Set ItemTome[27] = Blink Dagger (Tome)
• Set ItemReal[27] = Blink Dagger

However, this is looping through every registered items, quite slow compared to a Hashtable.
Let's say you have looped until 27 index, it will check the condition whether the bought item is the index of 27, which is the Blink Dagger.
Once the check is true, it will call the 27th index of ItemReal (which is the Blink Dagger) and give the item to your Hero.
But obviously if your slot is full AND you are buying additional item that does not combine any items, you should generate the error message AND possibly a refund, you must set this one too - of if you want it to be simple, just drop the item to the buyer's feet.

In this case I'd prefer the usage of Hashtable - but if you want more simpler way, go for the above example.

wow thanks man. you're such a professional and a master

I think someone somewhere said that dummy units was better than tomes, so that's what I've been doing. It's definitely an alternative, but how do they stack up against each other?

What do you mean by "stack up" ?

AFAIK, you can clean Dummy Unit "leak" from the map, but Tome simply stay in the map, permanently (but takes a small memory), hence the creation of this system: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...2-a-201057/?prev=search=tome&d=list&r=20&t=65
