How to check if unit has item of type?

[acefirebat]

OK i have a building with a dummy abbilty called create steel. To use the abbilty you need at least 1 item Iron Ore in the inventory. the trigger removes the iron ore and puts in steel. i cant figure out the conditions for the trigger. I have one condition that says abbility being cast is equal to Create steel, so it knows its the steel mill but how do i make a condition that tells if theres the 1 iron ore in the inventory?

• Create Steel
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to CreateSteel
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type (Item-type of Steel)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- Whatever actions that you want to add here --------
      • Else - Actions
        • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) the text: You need at least 1...

I think this should work.

Hey i did that trigger and it doesnt work. its like the item will be there and when i click on the dummy abbilty it just says theres no iron ore and doesnt do anything. ive messed with it a few times changeing things but i just doesnt want to work. any idea?

If i'm not mistaken that condition is boolean Hero has item of type. Not sure if that will refer to normal unit.

Although, are you sure that you did everything properly?
And your trigger leaks Player force.

well it works on a normal unit but i found it its not the trigger thats bad its how i set the item variable i did something wrong there and now i need to figure out how to fix it but its not really going my way currently

Post map.

 

[acefirebat]

ok well this is it while i test triggers anyways

A unit Begins casting an ability

Use starts the effect rather. Begins open numberous bugs such as before cooldown or mana is duducted. Infact, with any casting delay you could chain cast the ability.

 

[acefirebat]

no the trigger is fine it works with no bugs i dont need to change that its the variable that is wrong. i didnt do that part righti tested it with an if then or else function.

 

[Dr Super Good]

What variable? commoe's code does not have any variables.

 

[acefirebat]

im not sure but i had to use a variable thing to identify the item in the units inventory or something not sure open the map and look for urself

 

[Dr Super Good]

You are not meant to use a variable for that.

 

[acefirebat]

then i made the trigger wrong cuz theres no other way to get around it that i can find by messing around with the trigger from earlier. so please explane how to get this to work

 

[Bannar]

Here is your fixed trigger. I wasnt touching anything aside that given one.
Your trigger leakd, has wrong variable set, and actions wasnt done properly.
