how to make items allow heros to attack trees.

How do i make it so that when a hero picks up the item "axe" he is allowed to attack trees?

I am not sure if that is possible :/

But I have 2 things you can try:

1. Use an orb item for the axe. e.g. orb of frost.
Then change the possible targets for the orb to tree ?!

2. Give the item the "eat tree" ability. Then you don't need to attack ...

Thank you dark angel your advice worked Here is what i did.

1. for my hero i checked "tree" as one of the "targets allowed" for ATTACK 2.
2. made new item ability "Tree Attack" based off orb of lightning, deleted all the art, etc...checked "tree" for "targets allowed" for this ability.
3. made an item called "Axe" based of "claws of attack", gave the item "Tree Attack" ability.

When my hero picked up this item, he was allowed to attack trees.

Thank you for the help DarkAngel, i reped you for it.

I have another question. How can i make it so that when a unit picks up the item "Axe" he is replaced with another unit called "Axeman." The new unit must have the "Axe" in his inventory. When the Axeman drops the Axe, he is then replaced by the original unit.

Any ideas?

Hide the unit? then create 1 axeman at his posision and give him the item. then if the axeman drops the item then move unit instantly to the point of the axeman then unhide him and hide the axeman.

Edit: Like this i don't show the whole thing but the beginning.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Axe
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Which unit you ever want
• Actions
  • Unit - Hide (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Create 1 Axeman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

lol chewii you make it too hard

just use replace triggering unit with axeman, the items will stay, so you don't have to use variables to save them

when he picks up the item, replace it to axeman

when he drops it replace him back, easy as that

 

[madman9800]

skamigo, actually the items DO NOT stay...when i used the replace unit action, the item does not stay in the units invintory...

Important questions:

Is the unit a hero?
Because then you would have to save xp/stats/...

If not just create an item array and go like:

For 1 - 6
itemArray[integer a] = item in slot [integer a]
replace
For 1 - 6
createItem for hero itemArray[integer a]
