Item and abilities

[Chacal]

Hello,

I would like to know if and how is it possible to make item stats a bit random like in diablo and stuff like that.

i even thought of when a unit dies, and the item drops, giving the item (or setting the abiliti lvl for item) like an all stats ability with like 10 lvls and it would pick a level from 1 to 10.

is it possible to mess with item abilities on items on drop at all?

Thank you.

Set all the level 1 to 10 item in variables, then set a dummy item to let the unit pick up. When pick remove the dummy item and give (ItemType[RandomItem]) to the unit

Im sorry but i actually didnt understand (a bit new here with arrays and stuff)

Can you give a simple example? (sorry again)

 

[ukn0wnD3str0y3r]

ItemDummy = (Dummy Item)
ItemMaximum = (Your Maximum amount of Item)
ItemType[1] = (Item Level 1)
ItemType[2] = (Item Level 2)
ItemType[3] = (Item Level 3)
ItemType[.....] = ..... And so On
ItemRandom = Random number between 1 to ItemMaximum

2nd Trigger
A unit gets an item then check if the item is ItemDummy
Then remove ItemDummy from the unit
Set ItemRandom = Random number between 1 to ItemMaximum
Create ItemType[ItemRandom] and give it to Unit

EDIT: Im also newbie on trigger, hopes this helps you @@

You can do it, using the method uknown described. However, tooltips will have to express the variation in boosts. Ex: + 4-7 Attack Damage. So in that aspect, war3 falls short. the only way to counter that( as in having tooltips that match the bonus from the item) Would be to make a separate item for every variation possible. Obviously that's not a very good solution as some items could result in huge numbers of variations.

@Kakerate thats exactly what uknown's system does.

in short theres no native way to do it. you can do something like this (pic) (pic with an item equipped) (pic with a set equipped)

code for pic

            set fullItemGenerator = FullItemGenerator.create("|cffff4500The Sword of Truth|r", "The one and only.", 'B029', 6)/*
            */.addGroupChangingTrait(TRAIT_TYPE_DAMAGE,500000,1000000,0,15)/*
            */.addGCT(TRAIT_TYPE_STATIC_DAMAGE, 500000, 1000000,0,5)/*
            */.closeGroup()/*
            */.addGCT(TRAIT_TYPE_STRENGTH, 75000, 150000,0,5)/*
            */.addGCT(TRAIT_TYPE_AGILITY, 75000, 150000,0,5)/*
            */.addGCT(TRAIT_TYPE_ALL_STATS, 50000, 100000,0,5)/*
            */.closeGroup()/*
            */.addGCT(TRAIT_TYPE_LIFE, 500000, 1000000,0,5)/*
            */.addGCT(TRAIT_TYPE_MANA, 150, 250,0,5)/*
            */.closeGroup()/*
            */.addGCT(TRAIT_TYPE_ARMOR_REDUCTION, 750,1250,0,5)/*
            */.addGCT(TRAIT_TYPE_ATTACK_SPEED, 50, 100,0,5)/*
            */.closeGroup()/*
            */.register('I00L')

which gives an incredible amount of support with infinitely sized inventories, players only see their own drops (people see different items like in diablo 3, prevents item ninjaing and allows for class based drops) seperated equipments and inventories, randomized stats, sets, recipes, etc. but it requires a heavy vJass background.

That is definitely the way to go !

Dont know how to use jass (im seriously noob at this.. im ok with GUI) tbh i think ill make a few itens and random it with triggers i guess..
