How do you set the item drop as group?

[Alzoom]

So I am working on my new map and I was allowing some creeps to drop some items, so I double clicked the creep, went to "Items Dropped", "Use Item Table From Map", "Edit Map Item Tables", "Add Table", "New Set", "New Item", and I want to choose group but it is grayed out. How do I go about enabling it?

Are you aware that choosing it will make the drop work just once for that creep alone, only if you pre-place it in the Editor?

The best way around is Triggering it.

what do you mean by that, also using your method, when the creep dies and it respawns, the creep will not continuing to drop those items, so i do not recommend you method but if your creep only spawn once then your method is fine.

ok honestly I don't know exactly how to do this but basically i want the creep to drop a random item but i don't want them to drop like campaign ones that have no use so i want it that they drop random, not including some exceptions which would not drop.

Heres a hypothetical example of what I mean:
All Items:
-Purchasable
-Artifact
-Campaign
(HYPOTHETICAL)
But I only want all of the items in the Purchasable and Artifact set instead of all items, you follow? Is there a way I could do all except a specific set? If so how? (Hopefully I explained it better here)

1. Create a Item-Type variable ARRAY
2. Create an Integer Variable
3. Create a Point Variable

• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Actions
  • Set ItemType[1] = An Item
  • Set ItemType[2] = An Item
  • Set ItemType[3] = An Item
  • Set ItemType[4] = An Item

• Events
  • A unit dies
• Conditions
  • Random Integer between 1 and 100 is less than or equal to *Your Drop Chance*
  • Unit Type of (Triggering Unit) is equal to *Your Creep*
• Actions
  • Set PointVariable = Position of (Triggering Unit)
  • Item - Create 1 ItemType[Random Integer Between 1 and 4] at PointVariable
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PointVariable)

That's a way to do it, however, it sucks. If you want a drop System use http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-15-a-190986/?prev=search=Adiktuz&d=list&r=20 wich allows you adding an specific Item-Drop list for any unit you want, each Item wich its own chance for each unit (I mean, a Boss has 99% chance to drop a Great Item, while a noob slime has 0.01% chance to drop the same item)

do you want it to have a chance to not drop item ?
do you want it to have a chance to drop 2 items at once ?

how many chance of dropping does Purchasable have ?
how many chance of dropping does Artifact have ?
how many chance of dropping does Campaign have ?

below i make an example trigger of the random class drop.

Random Class Drop

• ItemDrop
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Neutral Hostile Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set ItemDropChance = (Random real number between 0.00 and 100.00)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ItemDropChance Less than or equal to 25.00
      • Then - Actions
        • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Item - Create (Random level (Integer A) Purchasable item-type) at (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ItemDropChance Less than or equal to 50.00
        • ItemDropChance Greater than or equal to 25.01
      • Then - Actions
        • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Item - Create (Random level (Integer A) Artifact item-type) at (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ItemDropChance Less than or equal to 75.00
        • ItemDropChance Greater than or equal to 50.01
      • Then - Actions
        • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Item - Create (Random level (Integer A) Campaign item-type) at (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Else - Actions

Explanation

From the above trigger, if a unit owned by neutral hostile dies(you could change it to whatever you want), Random Class Drop item will be created at the (Position of (Triggering Unit)) with 25 % chance to drop Purchasable, 25 % chance to drop Artifact, 25% to drop Campaign, 25 % chance to drop no item, and 0% chance to drop 2 items at once.

here is a test map consist of that trigger, i also add a text to check what class that the monster drop (no drop, campaign, artifact, purchasable), you could erase it later.
