Hero Drops an item event

[Majin]

To the point...
Is there any to check if a unit drops an item in a certain region?
(a better way than a periodic event that checks if the item is in a region at least)

What's wrong with this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit loses an item
• Conditions
  • Region_000 <gen> contains (Manipulating hero)
• Actions

It's something like that.

Event: Unit - A unit Loses an item

I believe it might register item move events from hero to hero, I haven't checked it though.

It does .

Well, you can just check if the heroes in an X* range around the item losing hero have the item or not and check if the hero is in your desired region (as Silvenon said).

*X should be the range you set in the GamePlay Constants as maximum range for hero item transfer. I don't know what's the default value.

would you guess i've checked events twice and didn't notice that?

Feeling dumb now i guess it's no good working at war3 maps at late night after studying a whole day...

that event will do, at that point of the map there's just 1 unit with an inventory and the item is destroyed once it does its work

Well, you could try to learn Jass, you don't have to look for events you just type 'item' into its function list browser and it shows you all the functions with the word 'item' in it. Well just an idea ^^

i know a little jass, but i rather using it for spells than for cinematics or one time events (though i know i should be destroying one time triggers and this can be done only with JASS, since you can't destroy conditions and actions from GUI because they aren't saved in variables)
