Hey, siDeKicK here,

For my ORPG, i want to make a item system so when a player picks up an item, it saves to them, like say now they pick an item up and drop it, and another player comes and tries to pick and it and it says "This item is not owned by you!". Can anyone show me/upload a map with a system like this??Do i make sense?

Thanx,

siDeKicK

This can be rather simple:
A unit pick up an item
if Item custom data of manipulated item equal to 0
set item custom data to player number of owner of triggering unit
else
drop manipulated item
display some message to the player.
But this will use the custom data of items.

          • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to drop (Item being manipulated) at temp_point
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_point)
This is something.
I also noted that you can set owner of items.
 
Im pretty sure u can do it like this.
Events:
Item(hero?) - "Your hero" picks up an item
Conditions:
Item is owned Equal to true
Actions:
If then else (multiple functions).
If: hero manipulating item equal to owner of item being manipulated
Then: Do nothing
Else:
Item(hero) - Make hero manipulating item(or triggering unit) drop Item being manipulated
Game - Display "that item isnt yours" (or whatever) for 5 seconds

Or you could use floating text.

ALSO: think of this.. What if the hero wants to give the item to someone else? Is it really that important to have this system?
You could just make like a "Safe area" where only the player can enter?

This condition is under integer comparison
But you should go with what Archangel_Tidusx did.

Using owner of item will not work(when you pick an item it becomes yours).
Here is the trigger that uses Item's Custom data.
Hmm, it is not good this way wait a sec ;)
