Item drop table

[Wc3Owns]

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble finding a solution to a certain problem. In the map I'm working on, I have these units that drop items from a global Item Table. However, the chance to get the items is not 100%. Therefore, you can kill all the units but still not get the item. That's why I made it so that once one of the units dies, after 30 seconds a new unit of the same type spawns.

Now, here's where I run into a problem: how do I get the spawned unit to also use the same item table it used before it was killed?

Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Wc3Owns

You need to use some sort of indexing system for the item table.

How would I do such a thing?

in other words trigger the item drop of a unit type... if your basing it on unit types not on unit you don't need to use the indexing system.

You can use item pools, but I don't know if it's available in GUI.
EDIT: Here, I found a tutorial.

If multiple unit types have this possibility, then you will need to index the unit type with proper itempool for each.

Right. So, I should make the item drop by triggers. However, I'm not sure how to use a randomizer in triggering. To make the item drops at certain times and not drop at other times. So: how can I use the randomizer? I'm sorry, I'm not a triggering expert.

EDIT: About the JASS tutorial. I don't really want to work with JASS.

Item pools aren't interfacable in GUI.

What you have to do is basically

Event - Unit is killed
Conditions - Unit is equal to YourUnit
Actions -

If Random integer between 1 and 100 is less than or equal to your percent than
set temploc = position of yourunit
create one youritemtype at temploc
custom script: call removelocation(temploc)
endif
