[Trigger] Infinite Loop

[moRIs]

I have a hero named worker and an item nearby named building hammer. When the hero picks the item, he turns into a hero named builder and when he drops the item he turns into worker again. For this i have 2 triggers:

• Pick Hammer
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-Type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Building Hammer
    • (Unit-Type of (Hero manipulating item)) Equal to Worker
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Hero manipulating item) with a Builder using The old unit's relative life and mana

• Drop Hammer
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Looses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-Type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Building Hammer
    • (Unit-Type of (Hero manipulating item)) Equal to Builder
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Hero manipulating item) with a Worker using The old unit's relative life and mana

When the unit picks the hammer, the trigger works and he turns into a builder, but when he drops the hammer, the game freezes for a second, then wc3 crashes; my guess in that it entered an infinite loop.
How to make this work?

Drop Hammer

Events

Unit - A unit Looses an item

Conditions

(Item-Type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Building Hammer

(Unit-Type of (Hero manipulating item)) Equal to Builder

Actions

Unit - Replace (Hero manipulating item) with a Worker using The old unit's relative life and mana

try to replace it with

• Actions
  • Unit - Remove (Hero manipulating item) from the game
  • Set Temp_Point = (Position of (Hero manipulating item))
  • Unit - Create 1 Worker for (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)) at Temp_Point facing Default building facing degrees

That would work, but the hero items, his exp, his level and all will be gone.

Use <turn off trigger> before replacing the unit, and <turn on trigger> after it's replaced.

Use <turn off trigger> before replacing the unit, and <turn on trigger> after it's replaced.

I did. It doesn't work that way.

When you replace the unit, it runs a hell of a lot of item events due to transfering the items. You will have to turn off the events for that situation or add conditions preventing them from running if that is the case.

to make it work, you could always have the items stored and removed. afterwards, when the replaced unit is created, you can give the unit the items

I did. It doesn't work that way.

Did you try turnin off/on both triggers?

Have you tried using Chaos?

@Maker
I did, but surprisingly, it still looped.

@Mooglefrooglian
I can't use chaos, because there will appear some complications later in my game.

Never mind, i found a way to evade this situation. Thx for the posts anyway.
