Item Ability

[Cryze666]

is there a way to give an item more than 4 abilitys?

 

[Marsal]

More than 4 active abilities? No.
More than 4 abilities? Yes.

 

[Cryze666]

if done a battle tanks like map with items using the phoenixfire ability to instantly shot on an random unit so the maximal projectiles per item is 4 (4 abilitys) and i want to make an item with 6 projectiles ... but i think there is no way to do that...

 

[Marsal]

Oh, I just checked it :/
Yeah only 4 is possible. But you can add hidden abilities when someone picks up the item and remove if someone loses it.

 

[Cryze666]

okay i will try but i dont think that it will work with this ability...
another question: is there a way to stop non-hero-units from dropping items on death?

 

[Marsal]

Why wouldn't it work? What ability?
Also. Why do you ask this? Is it a stolen map with item drop system or what?
If yes then dunno, check the system. If no then just change the items stat at Stat - Dropped When Carrier Dies. Change it to false.

 

[Cryze666]

if you add the phoenixfire ability to a unit it would only work once if i add this ability 2 times the unit only uses 1 of them

no i done this map totally by my self i can't found the item stat called "droppen when carrier dies" this is why im asking....

 

[Marsal]

If you put the ability in a spellbook and disable the spellbook it hides the ability. Also you can add it more than one times I guess.

Try there:

Btw i think inserting abilities raw codes with shift+enter should allow more than 4 abilities

Another solution came to my mind. You make a spellbook and fill it with the abilities you want to give to an item then add the spellbook to the item (with disabled Stats - Activately used). After that you only have to disable the spellbook for the players in an init trigger with Player - Disable/Enable ability.

Yes, the Spellbook solution allows for an infinite number of abilities per item (Unless these are active abilities.
You'd have to put spellbooks .. within spellbooks

 

[Cryze666]

can you give me a screen shot of how i need to 'prepare' the spellbook?

im not sure why but this point "dropped when carrier dies" isnt aviable...

and it dont works with shift to add more abilitys ... well it works but it have no effect in game

thx for helping^^

just use an item-hiding system (there's one here) for that item drop problem

well here's a scracthmade trigger:

• Init
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each integer a from 1 to 12 do actions
    • Loop - Actions
      • Player - Disable ability for a player (player (Integer A))

    • Loop - Actions
      • Player - Disable ability for a player (player (Integer A))

pls tell me if im wrong but how can disable of ability X help me with the item dropp problem?

 

[overcold_ice]

well . . .
you can use the buggy native then . . . simpler

the scratch made trigger:

• onDrop
• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each integer A from 1 to 6 do actions
    • Loop - Actions
      • Item - Hide item (item in inventory of unit, number (Integer A))

couldn't you search the action by yourself? :3
