[Trigger] Hero level requirement for items

[AllGhilliedUp]

I'm just working on something and I was wondering how exactly you could create a trigger that would allow for a hero level requirement for an item. For example, you need to have a hero level 5 to wield a specific sword. Thanks if you can help.

Hard and unefficent way is to use multiple selection appon picking the item up. Using if statments and stuff you get the item type and its level needed and if the hero is too low then you simply drop or remove the item.

The easy way is to make a jass database system that from the item type ID you can get the position of the corosponding stats for that item from an array system, of which one could be level required. This method also lets you build more functionality onto items as with the same system you could make it that only one type of item can by carried at a time by giving each item a type number and checking if a hero has 2 items with the same type number.

Well, I don't know any bit of JASS, so I guess I'll go with the hard way. Thanks anyways.

Hey m8 i got a Quite a Simple way to do it But it Requiers a Trigger for each Item

Events
Unit - A unit Acquires an item

Conditions
(Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Spike Helmet)) Equal to Spike Helmet

Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Hero level of (Hero manipulating item)) Less than 3 "(the hero level requierd)"
Then - Actions
Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
Else - Actions
"(Empty)"


You just have to Copy The trigger On Each Item And Change the " level Number " And the items on the conditions Both Items To the same Choosen item.

Hope it Helps... =) any Questions Pm me

That can be done way more efficiently. Rather than forcing him to make a trigger for every item you can do:

Event
Generic Event ((Unit Acquires an Item))
Condition
Triggering Unit Hero's Level < Level of Item Being Manipulated
Action
Hero - Drop Item Being Manipulated

Then in the object editor, make sure all of your items have proper item levels (for instance, give weak healing potions level 0, super strong armor level 55; it corresponds with your required level). You can also add a 'display text to user' in the same trigger if you want to tell them they're too low.

I attached the crude idea in map format if you're lazy , though I set it to ≠ and not >.

There is a much neater way, it takes some time but looks impressive ingame and is only MPI
Create a unit for every level and name it "level 1", "level 2" and so on.
Then, whenever your hero reaches a new level, create a unit of the same level in a corner of the game. For example the hero reaches level 20, then you create a "level 20" for this player. This unit shouldn't use food/have no model/no soundset and so on.
The funny thing is, that the items are greyed out if you don't have the required level and the message "You require level 20" is displayed, dunno the exact text.

Oh that is a neat way. Will it really work though? Are passive effects disabled as if the item were a researchable ability?

You could disable the effects of the items instead of making them unuseable by giving requirements and with this trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A Unit Gains a Level
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Game - Set the level of Level Research for (Owning Player of (Leveling Hero)) to (Hero Level of (Leveling Hero))

I didn't test it myself, but I read some stuff about it here, should work pretty well. The best part is the "Requires level xyz" in grey letters what looks pretty nice

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
