  • Item - Create a <ItemName> at (Position)

You mean that?

/fail

• Items
  • Events
    • (..)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set temppoint = Random point in (Playable Map Area)
    • Item - Create a *item* at temppoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

squigg doesnt playable leak also or is that like "all players" in player groups leaks?

edit:

my bad, thought of center of playable, that's a point not a region thought regions do leak also?

thanks squiggy, but i just dont understand the last line: Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

Whats does it mean?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

locations are sets of data behind the jass/gui frontend which must be allocated. If they are not destroyed (call RemoveLocation()), they cause "leaks", which are simply undestroyed data that takes up room in the client's memory. Read more about leaks in the "what leaks" thread.

On easy words, if u make an point variable, u have to remove it later, or else, the game will begins to lag.Then - call RemoveLocation (udg_(variable)
The udg is for when u use a variable.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

udg stands for user defined global; if you're using variables defined in the GUI variable editor you must including the udg prefix when using jass/custom script.

can't we make items drop but its a random item from an item table?

 

[Hijax]

just have an integer variable, set it to a random number, then with if/then/else decide which item is going to be dropped.

 

[Squiggy]

In a trigger, set up your table, means

• Set items[0] = item1
• Set items[1] = item2
• Set items[2] = item3
• Set items[3] = item4
• Set items[4] = item5

etc

and for your create item trigger, do

• Set temppoint = Random point in (Playable Map Area)
• Item - Create a item[Random integer number between x and y] at temppoint
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint)

whereas x is the lowest number you've set in your table and y being the highest

thanks squiggy

Edit: Sorry but i still need help ... For this line: Item - Create a item[Random integer number between x and y] at temppoint

I can't find the "a item[Random integer number between x and y]" with my editor, can you like tell me the steps like

1) Item-create
2)...

 

[dardas]

okay, go to item, choose the create button,
now if you made the items variable and putted it array,
you should have the option to press variable,
in the array underline area, choose math - random number
and in 1 - 10 just change to w/e you want, or how many items you got in the variable.
hope i helped..

edit:
ops.. i wrote " or how many items you got in the variable"
i meant like if there are 5 items in the variable use

• Item - Create items[(Random integer number between 1 and 5)] at Point_Which_You_Make
