Help with items inside building

[Njord]

Hello! So I have this problem that I just can't solve. I have searched and I have tried different things but nothing works.

My goal is that every time an item of a specific type is placed withing a building, it adds 10 gold to a periodic income for the player that owns the building.

Item: Skull
Building: Altar

There are two possible way to do this:

1) There is currently a periodic timer that shows when the players receive gold. Each skull can add 10 gold to the total amount of gold received whenever the timer finishes (every 120 seconds). So if the player has 4 skulls inside his altar, he'll get an additional 40 gold each time the timer finishes. Likewise, if a skull is taken out of the altar it has to subtract 10 gold from the total income.

2) The 10 gold generated per skull inside a temple can be unrelated to the timer. Preferably each skull shows a yellow "10" over the temple for every 120 seconds the skull has been inside the altar, or all the skulls inside the altar add to a total that is shown above the altar (If 6 skulls is inside the altar, "60" is shown in yellow above). When a skull is taken out of the altar it subtracts 10 gold in either way.

I hope you can understand what I write.

What is max skull you want the building to hold?
1-if 6, then just make a unit, change the model to building and give it inventory.

Make an integer variable(numberofskulls) that increase by 1 each time you put skull, and another integer variable(income) to calculate 10xnumberofskulls
and make the owner to get integer variable (income).
Make a floating text to show above the building with integer variable (income). set it in variable so each time you remove it before changing it to new income then add the new text to variable

When a skull is taken from the building set integer variable (Numberofskulls) =same integervariable - 1

2-if you want the max to be more than 6 then make a unit with the ability to sell, and give it the option to sell the skull item so you can buy it back from the building. set it in variable so each time you remove it before changing it to new income then add the new text to variable

same as above
Make an integer variable(numberofskulls) that increase by 1 each time you sell skull to building, and another integer variable(income) to calculate 10xnumberofskulls
and make the owner to get integer variable (income).
Make a floating text to show above the building with integer variable (income).

make a condition
if, integer variable(numberofskulls) greater than 0 (this way they cant buy skulls if the number is 0)
then, each time you buy skull from the building set integer variable (Numberofskulls) =same integervariable - 1w

Alright, I still can't figure out this trigger. Yes, 6 skulls max as the altar has 6 inventory slots.

It has to identify which player the altar belongs to.
It has to identify that it is a skull and not something else that is put in.
It has to identify that it is an altar that acquires the skull.
A player can build more altars.

This trigger is way too advanced for me to figure out.

well you can do it in the second way above make each altar increase the maximum amount by 6 and every time you sell skull it let integervariable increase by 1 so you can keep tracking the amount of skulls, and when buying them set integervariable - 1

To identify that it is a skull and if the altar has skulls. Using the method above integer only increase when the item is skull and sold to altar

Make it so max number of skulls = 6 if player tried to sell more and has only 1 altar, do nothing and return the skull. If player have to altars they can sell to maximum of 12 skull.

To identify the player just make an array and use player number for the array.

here's a simple trigger:

• pick units of type altar and do actions:
  • set TempInt = 0
  • for each integer A from 1 to 6 do actions:
    • if item held by picked unit in slot [integer A] is a skull
      • then set TempInt = TempInt + 10
  • if TempInt not equal to 0
    • then add TempInt gold to owner of picked unit, create floating text etc

I'm still stuck

Make a variable for each playing player.

    • Time - Elapsed game time is 2.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Skull_PlayerGroup = (All players matching ((((Matching player) controller) Equal to User) and (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)))
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Skull_PlayerGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Skull_Index = (Skull_Index + 1)
        • Set Skull_Player[Skull_Index] = (Picked player)

Remove leavers from player group, you need to add all player colors to event I only added red and blue

    • Player - Player 1 (Red) leaves the game
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) leaves the game
  • Conditions

This is for when acquiring skull, just change the unit and item condition to your item and unit.

• Acquires skull
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman

  • Actions
    • Set Skull_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Skull_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] + 1)

This is for when loses skull, again change unit and item condition.

Spoiler

• Loses Skull
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman

    • Set Skull_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Skull_Count[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] - 1)

This is for the income, change the time to whatever you want and in Skull_Income variable I set it to x10, you can change it to whatever you want.
Skull_Count is the number of skulls in all your altars

        • Player - Add Skull_Income to Skull_Player[Skull_Loop] Current gold

Here is a map with the triggers, check it and tell me if anything is missing.
