Item Drop List

[Ham]

Hello Hive users, i´ve got a question here about drop list, you can set a item drop list for when an unit dies it has a chance to drop one of these items, an example it has 50% chance it drop a ring and 50% chance it drops an exp tome, is there a way to make a new unit out of triggers (created in game, not in world edit) that has that same item drop list?

• Events
  • Unit - a Unit dies
• Conditions
  • unit-type of dying Unit equal to your unit-type
  • dying Unit equal to your Unit (choose the one of those two which fits your needs)
• Actions
  • set randomnumber = random number between 1 and 2
  • if randomnumber = 1 then create item 1 at position of dying unit, else create item 2 at postion of dyin Unit

randomnumber is an integervariable

this helps me a bit more but still is not what i am looking for, what about if i want a different chance like 40% and 60%?

You can set any chance withrandom number.
Furthermore, item drop list don't allow you to set not integer chances (like 1.5%), but with random number you can do it.

set r = random number between 1 and 10
if r<=4 then
elseif r>=5 then
endif

it´s getting closer to what i want, what if like there are more than just two items, like an item 10% another one 25% and other one 45% and last 20%

 

[Restor]

set randomnumber=random number between 1 and 100

If randomnumber=less or equal to 10
then blabla

Else-If randomnumber=less or equal to 25
then blabla

Else-If randomnumber=less or equal to 45
then blabla

Else blabla

there is a tutorial on a item drop list which works for all neutral hostile units...
you can of course edit the event to something else like a specific unit type for example or a unit matching condition. like in my map i think i made it so that sappers drop items.

anyway in that you can add the items to the item pool, and when you do that there is a number to the right of the item id which is the chance.

it is out of the total chance which is the total of all the numbers' chances in the item pool. so if all the numbers in the item pool, the chances add up to 100, then you will get a percentage for each item according to what that number is. pretty easy. the difficult part is editing the items and the event. as for the event i make an event in gui and turn the trigger to custom text and copy that event to the trigger. as for the items you need to turn on display raw data in the object editor to the get the item id strings.

edit: i guess you could do it for preplaced units too. you have to go make a gui trigger probably and (generated global) select the unit that is preplaced to be the unit that dies and then convert the trigger to custom text like i did with the unit type and copy that event over to the item pool trigger.

well...you want to make a unit in triggers to be added to the event of your drop list.

you may want to make a trigger somehow out of these...and make a add event action being last created unit or whatever dies...

assuming the trigger that created the unit was created...if it was replacing a unit for example you would use last replaced unit dies. even though the trigger making the item says last created unit/trained unit/last replaced unit in it's event and there are other units replacing and training and creating it's only the unit that got added to the event that was the last at that time that it happens to. which is a good thing to know! i learned that from looking at the enfos map.

P.S. i'm not sure if you can use gui action trigger add event to trigger if the trigger you're adding the event to is in custom text...

set randomnumber=random number between 1 and 100

Else-If randomnumber=less or equal to 45
then blabla

Else blabla

burrnnn this will leak like %$/! cause if randomnumer =less or equal to 10 all options will be avaliable

 

[Dragoon_Jett]

That post was not needed(yours), look at mine.

 

[Day-Elven]

Restor's trigger don't leak.
Dragoon_Jett's trigger leaks location.

To prevent leak you can just use "Hero - create item for hero"

leak cause if randomnumer =less or equal to 10 all options will be avaliable

No. It just means that if r<=10 all items has a chance to be dropped from one unit.

You know the functions you need to make a trigger like this so you can set any chances of drop. Isn't the problem solved?

hey dude, look at what happened when i did that.

wrongly placed crate(another trigger which is not working properly)

item multiplication - leak

trigger

so what did i do wrong?

This is the trigger from my upcoming diablo 2 map I use for every type of item drop, it doesn't remove leaks but that wouldn't be hard to do, just add destroy scripts after each used variable and point.

The one I've placed in here doesn't always drop an item, but it could be made so if the limits of the integer are changed...

 

[Day-Elven]

hey dude, look at what happened when i did that.

Omg. You don't need loop.
Dragoon_Jett's trigger is false.
It creates the number of items equal to randim number.
You need just a condition that will check the value of random number.

I've looked it.
It's really good non-leaking system that sets item tables to unit-types,
but I don't think that he knows Jass...

 

[Need_O2]

meh you just copy the code and run a simple custom script
I dont remember the script but it was like Blabla(<unit id>,<item id>,<chance>) so no jass knowladge required

somehow it needs more than this simple custom script, i already tried but it needs a custom scrip code (the one u place at the top where is the map icon) it kinda confuse me, cause there is more than just a script, there are three, idk how to work it well, could u help me there?

hey i think the trigger u have made have equal % for each item, like if there are 5 items them all have 20% chances to drop

i apretiate it sankaku but i am not using jass code it'd mess my whole gui triggers and then i need to go all jass. i preffer to do it with triggers i am sure there must be a way to

i don't want it to drop all items, i just want to drop just one

Nice, tripple post =)
If you wanna to drop 1 item, use the way I suggested.

what condition would it be?

is it wrong? i just thought this way was easier for them to check their answers.. and which way u suggested? the one O2 did? or ?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Just on unit death, get a random item from the item group you created. Afterall, all those item drops are done in JASS anyway, so you simply need to make a generic unit death trigger that checks unit types and runs pretty much the same code as the noramal single unit death triggers.

This should be far more efficent than any such multiple selection ideas as is is pretty much 1 function call as apposed to multiple comparisions and variable setting.
You can also clean up the item table objects when they are no longer needed.

yeah it would be cool, would you give me an explample? it would take me weeks to make it myself

First of all triple, then double post?
I gave you exactly what you wanted, I didn't say it wasn't buggy, or didn't have leaks. Use your head and fix the problems them selves, don't be a sheep.
