Item Limitation

[Saif]

I have done this to limit the equipments to one for each player

• Ordinary Sword Limit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
  • Conditions
    • (((Buying unit) has an item of type Ordinary Sword) Equal to True) and ((Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to Ordinary Sword Display)
  • Actions
    • Player - Add 500 to (Owner of (Buying unit)) Current gold
    • Hero - Drop (Sold Item) from (Buying unit)
    • Item - Remove (Last dropped item)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: YOU CAN ONLY EQUIP ...

I have done this but now, when I drop an item, and buy a new one, then I pick the dropped item, It makes him have 2 weapons, what I want is I am unable to have 2 of the same item types in my inventory.
anybody can help ? xD

Use an additional trigger with the event "Unit - A unit acquires an item".

You can use this:

• Order
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
    • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type (Item-type of (Target item of issued order))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set temp_point[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set temp_point[2] = (Position of (Target item of issued order))
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (temp_point[1] offset by 0.01 towards (Angle from temp_point[1] to temp_point[2]) degrees)
    • Set force = (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit))))
    • Game - Display to force the text: You already have th...
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_force)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point[1])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temp_point[2])

Does anyone know why Triggering unit does not want to Stop while taking order? Look:

• Smart
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
    • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type (Item-type of (Target item of issued order))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
    • Set force = (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit))))
    • Game - Display to force the text: You already have th...
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_force)

Does not work properly.

@Pharaoh I have tried that and it wont work cause acquiring an item also was also like when buying an item ,so even if i did not have any ordinary sword in my inventory and I bought a new one, It would be restricted

@Spinnaker Ill try your suggestion,

EDIT
@Spinnaker IT WORKED ! thanks + rep

I had made a small system that recognizes which items are bought and which ones are acquired by picking them from the ground. Here it is: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-system-related-questions-193414/#post1892394
But anyway, how come you don't use acquires in general? Since it does trigger for both sells and acquires event.

Pharaoh_, could you explain why second trigger (above) does not work?
Unit ignores to Stop, or it does not, but takes item anyways.

Saif said it works, but I'd definitely replace the stop order with "order (Triggering unit) to move to Point1" where Point1 = (Position of (Target item of issued order)). What is more, I'd add in the conditions "(Target item of issued order) Not Equal to No item", to fire it only when an item is targeted.

 

[Bannar]

Heh =)
I agree with condition about No item, but i've posted tewo triggers.

First one works properly, and it's the one that Saif uses. And as you can see it uses order to move unit to given point (I prefer Triggering unit position with an Angle of item's position - it's just me)

However, second trigger has problem with Order stop, what I've explained in previous post.

The stop is not ignored, the unit receives the stop order before the smart order.

Thanks, it was the only option, but it looks so wierd that i cant even imagen that.

 

[Saif]

thanks Pharaoh and Ill try to look at that but now, I have a upgrade system in my map and i dont know how to make a percent for it to have a success and a percent again to fail, thanks again Spinnaker, It was the most important part of the map xD
