How to change item position in inventory.

[Arhowk]

Title. Say a hero has an item and i want to move it to the 6th slot

why would you want to do that? shouldn't the player have freedom to move items around their inventory as they wish?

There is UnitAddItemToSlotById(unit, itemId, slot)

Ty. now is there a way to keep that item in that slot?

Its for an inventory system, instead of making it a unit ability im making it an item and giving the item the ability

 

[SanKakU]

oh...is this one of those item systems that is like...armor goes in that slot, weapon goes in that slot and perishable in that slot, kindof thing?
if you make an item undroppable then you can't change the slot. you can use the function to remove an item if you need to remove it otherwise.

naa that sounds primitive...

also im pretty sure even if its undroppable you can still swap item spots with another item, i gotta test tho

so you just want only the 6th slot be an extra ability which is actually an item? is that the idea?

ye..

 

[SanKakU]

hmm...well yeah i think simplest thing to do is make it undroppable(use the jass/custom text function) when you give it to the unit. doing it in the object editor would probably have the exact same effect, so you can either save yourself a function call or save yourself some object editing. either way, i suppose.

yeah, undroppable items are also unmovable...

 

[SanKakU]

you might want to give every hero a 6th slot item when they are summoned which is undroppable and doesn't do anything except to serve as a placeholder until they unlock their item ability. this way you don't let players fill up their inventory and then get annoyed when an item gets removed from their inventory when they unlock their item ability.

The unit will have the abillity 100% of the time..

then add the item[ability] and not use a placeholder anymore... just make it undroppable so that it cannot be moved...

You mean, do what I've been doing? lol. you guys are interpreting this wrong. But its already solved (just have to test, ig atm) so..

 

[SanKakU]

yeah, sounds good, then. wasn't sure about your plan so just thought i'd mention that.
