Item problem?

[louie999]

I made this trigger but its not working the way i wanted it to

• Untitled Trigger 002 Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Barrett M82
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 1)) Equal to Barrett M82
        • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 2)) Equal to Barrett M82
        • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 3)) Equal to Barrett M82
        • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 4)) Equal to Barrett M82
        • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 5)) Equal to Barrett M82
        • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 6)) Equal to Barrett M82
  • Actions
    • Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)

I wanted it to be like this:
A unit picks up a Barrett M82 gun,then when that unit tries to pick up another Barrett M82 it will drop that item,or in other words,how to make a unit NOT have the same item in its inventory more than twice.(like u cant have 2 Barrett M82s but u can pick up other weapons,but it must not be that same weapon(item) u have.
But instead this is what happens:
A unit attempts to pick up a Barrett M82 but it always drops it(but the inventory is empty,there is no other Barrett M82 in any slot of the inventory)
Please help me to fix that trigger.

The problem is that the or-condition is always true in your case.

To fix it, simply compare if "Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot x" equals Item being manipulated. If not, check if the item type is equal to Barrett M82. If it is, drop Item being manipulated.

• (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot x)) Equal to Barrett M82 AND (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot x) Not equal to (Item being manipulated)

You don't need a seperate trigger for this. The first trigger should already handle this case just fine.

 

[louie999]

Ah ok thx well +rep for you

 

[louie999]

You don't need a seperate trigger for this. The first trigger should already handle this case just fine.

Lol um when i try to buy an item from the shop it doesnt go in the inventory(the inventory is empty that time)

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Lol um when i try to buy an item from the shop it doesnt go in the inventory(the inventory is empty that time)

Do you have any other triggers that might drop an item?

 

[Lender]

As Zwieb said you don't need any other triggs for this..
but if you want to prevent purchase if item already owned then you need a different method

 

[louie999]

Do you have any other triggers that might drop an item?

After some testing it was all good after all,when i buy the item in the shop it drops on the ground,but i can still pick the item up if my inventory doesnt have the same item.Its all good ,but how do i do that when a unit drops an item then other player's units cant pick it up?

 

[Zwiebelchen]

This requires some changes in triggers; you basicly assign an "owner index" to each item. You can do that by using the item's custom value. If a unit picks up an item, assign the number of said player to the item via custom value.

Then, in the acquire item trigger, add a condition if custom value is either 0 or the player number of the player picking up.

 

[louie999]

Um,like this.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Item - Set the custom value of (Item being manipulated) to 1

 

[Lender]

no. set the value to the player id ( Player ->1<- , Player ->2<- ...)

+ a pick up event

unit aquires item

condition custom value of item equals to player id

else
drop

also implement these in your existing triggers don't make new ones (unless you want this to work for every single item in game)

So i make a player variable and set a value to it?

 

[Lender]

use just (player number of( Player ))
that returns the integer
