Item drops

[qwehe]

Hi im making a rpg and i want the creeps to drop specific items (like in defiance) but i can only make them able to drop the once (when they respawn they cant drop it anymore), anyone has a trigger or anything for that?

 

[Eleandor]

you don't give them an item set, instead you create a trigger like this

Events: A unit dies
Conditions : unit type of dying unit = Yourcreep
Actions: If random integer between 1 and 100 < 20 (this way there's 20% chance to drop the item, you don't need this)
--- Then: set Variable: "TempLoc" = position of dying unit
------ Item - create a "item-type" at "TempLoc"
------ custom script to remove the leak
--- Else: do nothing

hmm is that JASS code ? cus i dont use JASS

 

[qwehe]

ah never mind think i got it ty for help

 

[Eleandor]

Yeah sorry but I don't use trigger tags unless I make the triggers in WE first; This one was without WE. It's just that it doesn't look good with trigger tags unless you do 'copy as text'...

 

[qwehe]

are u shore this one works? cus i dont think it does

 

[YoshiRyu]

... "sure", not "shore" (shore is the meet of ground and sea ^^)
it should works, post your trigger, we will search for the error

 

[Eleandor]

Keep in mind that i fyou copied my trigger exactly, it'll only drop an item 1 out of 5 times.

If you want it to be dropped always, just remove the "IF/THEN/ELSE" and only use the actions

 

[Steel_Cold]

Woah, i didnt no that you could do the random interger thing without creating a variable first.

 

[Eleandor]

Well, if you only have one option like here: drop or not drop, you don't need a variable. However, keep in mind that if there are multiple options (e.g. 10% chance to do action A, 10% chance to do action B, 80% chance to do action C), you need to store the random integer in a variable first.

 

[YoshiRyu]

e.g. 10% chance to do action A, 10% chance to do action B, 80% chance to do action C

• Actions
  • If
    • random integer between 1 and 100 < 10
  • Then
    • Action A
  • Else
    • If
      • random integer between 1 and 90 < 10
    • Then
      • Action B
    • Else
      • Action C

;p

 

[qwehe]

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Equal to 15
  • Then - Actions
    • Region - Center ITEM <gen> on (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Item - Create Gnoll Club at (Center of ITEM <gen>)
  • Else - Actions

would this work or do i need a variable?? cus i tried with variable and it didnt work

 

[YoshiRyu]

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) [COLOR="Red"]not greater than[/COLOR] 15 [COLOR="SeaGreen"]// if you want 15%, your's was 1%[/COLOR]
  • Then - Actions
    • Set PositionVariable = (Position of (Dying unit)) [COLOR="seagreen"]// you need a variable to prevent memory leak[/COLOR]
    • Item - Create Gnoll Club at PositionVariable [COLOR="SeaGreen"]// = create Gnoll Club at position of dying unit[/COLOR]
    • Custom script : call RemoveLocation( udg_PositionVariable ) [COLOR="seagreen"]// here you remove the used point from the memory[/COLOR]
  • Else - Actions

And so, you don't need the "ITEM" Region

 

[qwehe]

hehe aha ty for the help man

-edit-
got a problem... when i try to save with thecustom script it only says exepting a name

 

[Eleandor]

custom scripts are very case-sensitive. Make sure the variable you use (PositionVariable in the exampletrigger) is a POINT variable. Make absolute sure that the variable used in the custom scripts is exactly the same name as the other one.

For example:
set VariableName = position of dying unit
Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Variablename) will not work because I forgot the capital letter "N" in VariableName.

 

[qwehe]

ok cus i made the variable a region ty

Why dont u just create the item at the position of dying unit?

A unit dies

unit = ur unit <<< this isnt needed

create 1 Potion of Health at position of dying unit
(OR what I use for my RPG's is create 1 random artifact of level 8)
and set all the items I use to lvl 8 artifacts so the unit will drop one of them and you can even check the level of the dying unit or life and drop an item from a group that fits the unit, peasant drops mantle of intelligence, ogre drops boots of speed.

that might work^^ takes all the annoying custom scirpts away (still doesnt work..)

 

[Eleandor]

The whole point of the custom scripts are (mainly) to remove memory leaks. If you don't remove those leaks, your map will start lagging after some time, especially if you run this trigger frequently.

Feel free not to use custom scripts to remove leaks, I'm just warning you that your map will lag terribly after some time.

Ok wait I mightve forgotten a trigger cuz i got it to work on mine, try making the item appear at the position of killing unit

 

[Deathclaw24]

Ok i have it working like this:

A unit dies

Level of dying unit is = to 1
Owner of dying unit not equal to player 1-10 (p11 and p12 are baddies)

create item at position of dying unit (and if that still doesnt work try killing unit)

 

[Eleandor]

Using "Owner of dying unit equal to player 11 OR 12" will probably take less time

 

[Deathclaw24]

I just did
owner of dying unit belongs to enemy of killing unit
owner of killing unit belongs to an ally of p1

 

[Pandizzle]

Does that mean that for every item that drops i need a separate trigger?

 

[Eleandor]

Or you can do it in 1 trigger and make if/then/else conditions...

hw many creep types do you have?

 

[Pandizzle]

I'm pretty sure i have about 30-40. They all have alot of items that can be dropped (potions, armour, weapons, etc).
