Increase inventory size?

[louie999]

Is there any way i can increase the inventory size to like 8 or 10?

I played a map some time ago that used a sort of "bag" system to make more space. Essentially, it was just an item in you inventory that when clicked on would open up another inventory. Placing items in the bag still had all the passive benefits and what not of an item that was not in the bag. I'm not sure how you would work this, but it does mean that it's possible.

There are quite a few bag systems in our spells section. Feel free to check them out!

The default one can be increased by a hidden spellbook, but the excess items go to the hidden spellbook's inventory and are thus invisible. So it's not advised.

Not in WC3, the 6 item limit is hard coded. This was something improved upon for SC2 where you can fully customize the number of inventory slots.

Care to elaborate how to add items to a hidden spellbook? Note I am not referring to the abilities on the items, but as you said the item widgets themselves.

Think he's talking about using some variation of this:

Never knew about that. Surprised more maps have not used it.

Yeah I was talking about that, don't really know much about it. xD

I just remember reading it.

Note that hidden spellbooks still require some triggers to handle making items visible(putting them into the main inventory). However, compared to many systems in the hive, it seems easy.

The reason why not many maps use it is because inventory swapping is a mechanic that is not intuitive for the end-user. Sticking to the default inventory and just adding a second unit following you around that holds six more items is easier to understand for any new player and usually also better managable.

Just because it's possible doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.

You can download and check the triggers of my campaign. I use a 15 slots item multiboard system with 8 equipment spaces for all heroes (head, shoulders, chest, hands, legs, feet, weapon etc.) I prefer that because it is easy to make with GUI and easy to use. Link in the description.
