Item Drop Trigger

[Karzama]

Hi all,

I've got a trigger in my map that is there to detect when an item is dropped. Then it places the item in an index with a countdown, once the countdown finishes the item gets removed from the map.

My issue is that this is also picking up items that are removed by trigger, say I "upgrade" something that then removes 1 item and replaces it with another. The original item will be placed into the index and countdown. You can see this as the numbers are in the centre of the map but there is no item. I tried checking if Item = No Item but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Any thoughts??

How about you deactivade/activade this item dropp trigger before you Remove an item by Trigger.

I don't know what the GUI equivalent function is but GetItemPlayer() returns the player that owns the unit that has the item. Presumably if the item is at 0,0 it's not being held by any unit so that ought to return No Player. Might work as an additional condition?
