How To Make Item Recipes

[h34n]

I seem to be getting my recipe triggers working by using GSE's setup, but it seems that every time i try to edit the description of the "mask" item to make it show what's required/bonuses given, i can't seem to fit all the information on the basic description where it shows the buyer the information in the shop. I tried doing things such as Requires :|r|n-Gauntlers|r|n to skip the lines and what not, but all of it seems to not fit?

try Shift-clicking when you open it

I don't understand what you mean by this, opening what? I'm just trying to change the description?

But if you were referring to blooddancer, then i apologize for the misunderstanding.

 

[Razorbrain]

well, when you change the description, you do it in the Object Editor, correct?

now, if you have shift pressed when trying to change the value called Tooltip, you can make it as long as possible

Hey,use this,it works,i'm using it

• Events
• Unit - A unit Acquires an item
• Conditions
• (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Claws of Attack +15
• Actions
• For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (If ((Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Claws of Attack +15) then do (Set ItemAmount = (ItemAmount + 1)) else do (Do nothing))
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• ItemAmount Equal to 2
• Then - Actions
• Hero - Drop (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Claws of Attack +15) from (Hero manipulating item)
• Item - Remove (Last dropped item)
• Hero - Drop (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Claws of Attack +15) from (Hero manipulating item)
• Item - Remove (Last dropped item)
• Hero - Create Crown of Kings +5 and give it to (Hero manipulating item)
• Else - Actions
• Set ItemAmount = 0

And this it works 100%,I'm using it too.

• Events
• Unit - A unit Aquires an item
• Conditions
• ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Item1) equal to True
• ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Item2) equal to True
• ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Recipe) equal to True
• Actions
• Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Item1)
• Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Item2)
• Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Recipe)
• Hero - Create Weapon and give it to (Triggering unit)

How the **** do you Set Item ammount + 1? And 2 also?.
Pwease help.

 

[Razorbrain]

its an Integer variable

 

[BenZa]

Awesome thx! man

 

[Anachron]

I would suggest only bumping when you have a question, else pm him or something like that

 

[Twisted57]

need some help

Hi, Im having trouble with those triggers... i cant seem to replicate part of Nemisis's Auto combine trigger: For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (If ((Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Claws of Attack +15) then do (Set ItemAmount = (ItemAmount + 1)) else do (Do nothing))
so i was wondering if u can send/post a map with the triggers in them Please?

 

[Twisted57]

Oupse

ok dissregard what i just said i now see the demo map lol Thanks for the help

 

[Soul-_-Hunter]

what kind of action is that ?
Set Ingredients = 3
variable? or what if variable than what kind of variable...
sorry for bad english

 

[Razorbrain]

the action is called "Set Variable" and the variable type is Integer

 

[Landmine]

Another glitch in the trigger. I used the first trigger, minus the recipe, and I got 2 of one object, and when I got the other object I needed, all 3 of the objects disappeared.
AKA:
Objects needed for box: 1 wood, 1 wire spool
Objects in units inventory: 2 wood
Objects gained: 1 wire spool
Objects lost in all: 2 wood, 1 wire spool
Objects gained: 1 box
Any ways to fix this?

 

[Razorbrain]

did you use the one by Toolbox or the one by me?

 

[Landmine]

I used the one by Toolbox. I might move to yours, its just that I never noticed it. But this is still is a glitch for Toolbox's trigger.

 

[Dark_Dragon]

if anyone needs simple GUI setup system recipe system done quickly and ofc code is fast you might wanna check my recipe system here: Item Combine

 

[MaryuZ]

Thank you

Einstein once said:
"Try to make things as simple as posible, but not simpler"
with this in mind:
instead of using the more complex trigger wich requires more computing and has more lines where u can go wrong( the one that uses fors from 1 to 6) just use the simpler trigger( check items...remove items...create new item) and change the recipe
old recipe:
fire(drops of dragon)+fire(drops of dragon)=greater fire
new recipe:
blue fire(drops off blue dragon)+red fire(drops off red dragon)=greater fire.
I believe adding an item is easier then using the more complex trigger.

Thx for the tread...it helpped me alot.

 

[Fredfredburgers]

i have a nice suggestion out there.....for people who arent exactly good at triggers, you mind saying to make the variables. you just randomly say 100 variables without saying what type they are. ` ` ` ` D:

 

[Fredfredburgers]

also i figured out tho, recipe factors ARE ITEM TYPE! NOT INTEGER!!!

 

[Killjaes]

I have a question
How can i use diablo recipe system!
what is a rawcode?

 

[togera90]

How would i make a recipe like "you need the hilt and the sword and it creates the main sword"?

[togera90]

sorry for double comment but..


do we do all of those triggers u hav posted? or are they different ways of showing the scrolls and shit

[Lmao.Me]

(Kinda old topic but.. uhh... yeah)
So, I wanted to make a unit enters region and then combine items.
And so I did. Here's the trigger. And this is if you want the items in specific slots.

Events
   Units - A unit enters Region <gen>
 
Conditions
   ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
   ((Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 1)) Equal to Item 1
   ((Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 2)) Equal to Item 2
 
Actions
   Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 1)
   Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 2)
   Hero - Create Item 3 and give it to (Triggering unit)

Might be usefull for someone.

WOW THANKS!!!!

 

[togera90]

WOW THANKS!!!!

woah it works!! thank you thank you thank you!1 so much easy you ROCK!! THANK YOU!!!!

 

[Lmao.Me]

 

[BlueAngel]

man u helped me alot, thank you!!no bugs found, works 100%, as espected from you

 

[BlueAngel]

how about Ring of Basilius and similar items to it?

 

[danny-345o]

when I buy the recipe and it combine the game close down. plzz help me with it.

 

[Razorbrain]

show triggers to make this a lot easier for me

lmao, you could make that trigger even better by using the "Hero has Item" boolean condition

 

[triuska]

how can i make that i could only make items in some places like near blacksmith or something like that

 

[triuska]

never mind

 

[Lmao.Me]

never mind

 

[Tirco]

RLY helpfull guide! thank you weary much!

 

[Duggler]

Umm. I followed the tutorial. Double checked it. I even downloaded his map to check if it was right. But when i did it in my map, it created like 18 of them instead of 1. What did i do wrong?

 

[Duggler]

Nvm i got it to work.

 

[blek121]

Thx!

 

[corpuzmarvicjune]

Your item that requires 2 of the same item.

after thinking breifley about the trigger i posted earlier i figured a much shorter way of doing it because of how the variable used is temporary and regularly re-written it wouldnt matter if it was an array. remember this is used for combining two items of the same type:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Claws of Attack +15
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (If ((Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Claws of Attack +15) then do (Set ItemAmount = (ItemAmount + 1)) else do (Do nothing))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ItemAmount Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Drop (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Claws of Attack +15) from (Hero manipulating item)
        • Item - Remove (Last dropped item)
        • Hero - Drop (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Claws of Attack +15) from (Hero manipulating item)
        • Item - Remove (Last dropped item)
        • Hero - Create Crown of Kings +5 and give it to (Hero manipulating item)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set ItemAmount = 0

this used in combination with razorbrains trigger is the best and simplest recipie system imo.

I tried to use this item trigger though it leaks. The trigger only focuses when a unit acquires an item then you have it as long as your conditions meet; BUT, WHEN THE UNIT LOSSES THE ITEM, THE TRIGGER LEAKS. Especially when you have drop the first one, then take it again. I'll see this again, maybe I can manage to correct some errors.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

item recipes are easy

item acquired
item being manipulated equal to any item on recipe list
if all items are collected, drop all items and destroy and add new item.

 

[Chaosy]

Which is a really stupid method unless you want a whole lot of ugly copy paste code that is highly inefficient.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

that was just an example. to make it into one single trig all you would need to do is

create an item array....
and insure all recipe items are in the same category. e.g., charged, unique...

now

event unit acquires item

condition
item acquire of category 'the category off all your recipes'

action
for... create a for loop of the size of your item array

if item is of recipe set
then
check if all items of recipe have been collected. dump items and add combined item
destroy trig Que
end of for loop.

HELP im confused...

HOW to make set ItemAmount +1? Or for example ItemAmount Equal to 2 Condition?

[Daffa]

Use integer variable.

 

[Chaosy]

HOW to make set ItemAmount +1? Or for example ItemAmount Equal to 2 Condition?

Google or search the forum. This has been asked just about 5000 times.

 

[dower39]

Can u make items with recipe with two same item type?

 

[Barbafire]

toolbox describes the theory of item recipies very well but the triggers he shows are bugged and not effective in all situations. i would suggest using these two triggers:




this one by razorbrain can be used to automatically create an item when a unit picks up two items of a different type. with this trigger you must also have a recipie item, but if you remove the lines "((Triggering unit) has an item of type Recipe) equal to True" and "Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Recipe)" it will do it when the unit automatically when the unit aquires the items.

and:



this can be used to turn two items of the same type into another item (for example Claws of Attack +15 + Claws of Attack +15 = Crown of Kings +5). this happens automatically but by adding the condition and action mentioned above you can make it require a recipie item. for this you need the integer variable ItemAmount.

[Edit by Wolve] ~ Tutorial edited and (re)approved.

I would like to thank you for this answer. I'm reading your post in 11/04/2022, and used it on my project, and it works very well (and found 0 bugs for now). I'm using a simple merge system, when we pick 2 same items, they merge into 1 more powerful version. I tried to pick up diferent levels of each item, and they didn't merge. They only merge when we pick exactly the same item. Thank you veyr much for your answer here years ago.
