Item permutations

[sentrywiz]

What is a relatively way to solve many item permutations?

In my map, I want to have:

• 7 item qualities
• 7 item enhancers (up to 7 per item)
• 7 item enchants (2 max per item)
• ~10 item levels (lvl6 bow, lvl17 mace etc)
• ~20 item types (bow, axe, mace, armor etc)

If I were to make a permutation for each item quality, type as a brand new item in the object editor, it would take me months just to cover them all. We're talking 1000+ different items

So what would you suggest is another way to make this? I thought about a GUI representation, where I'd save each item name, quality, type, enhancement, enchantment, level etc into a variable and then just show them via game messages, multiboard texts or floating texts to a player in a UI inventory. But that would also mean manually adding the stats in the hero when they equip an item, which is also a big task.

What is your idea? How would you solve this?

Hm, if I understand the problem, you have qualities and enhancers in your map allowing simple variations of an item, right ?

I highly recommend a CSS, like this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/jass-custom-stat-system-css-v1-5g-229885/?prev=search%3DCSS%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20

It does exactly what you would like to achieve.

Awesome

Not happy its jass, but better than repetitive copy paste.

Can't rep you, so accept this wonderful big text +rep

If I recall right you only have one or two lines of custom code per item, very easy to understand.
