Item Related

1-) I have system based on "Unit is attacked" event. It does not trigger the actions since items are not "units"; any short way to fix this?
2-) To fix the problem in easier manner; how does one make items invulnerable? I remember seeing invulnerable items in some maps but I can't seem to find out how to do it by myself.

 

[TriggerHappy]

In the Object Editor, navigate to the item you want to make invulnerable.
Once you find it edit the Ability field, and add the Invulnerable ability.

When I add Invulnerable to the Item; it makes the carrier invulnerable (when item is equipped); not the item itself =)
That was the first thing I had tried and failed =)

i don't think it's possible unless you not allow units to attack item targets
EDIT: Oh, after read WaterKnight's post, you can make it invul by triggers

 

[WaterKnight]

native SetItemInvulnerable takes item whichItem, boolean flag returns nothing

No GUI way?

There is Item - make vulnerable in GUI.

You can detect when a unit is ordered to attack an item. But that may not work for your purposes.

• Untitled Trigger 057
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
    • (Target item of issued order) Not equal to No item
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: Item attacked

  • Actions
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: Item attacked

That supposed to work but It does not. The trigger is:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
  • (Item-type of (Target item of issued order)) Equal to 7.62mm
• Actions
  • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

But units are still able to attack and destroy the item(s).

You need to add a dealy before the stop order

• Untitled Trigger 057
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
    • (Target item of issued order) ...
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start Timer1 as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to group

• Untitled Trigger 039
  • Events
    • Time - Timer1 expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Stop
        • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from group

I am not sure that I understand your system =) So I did this:
Indestructable Items

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
• Conditions
  • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
  • (Target item of issued order) Not equal to No item
• Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Classic Dummy for (Owner of (Ordered unit)) at (Position of (Ordered unit)) facing (Facing of (Ordered unit)) degrees
  • Unit - Add Stop Attack (briefly) to (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Set level of Stop Attack (briefly) for (Last created unit) to 1
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Dark Ranger - Silence (Position of (Ordered unit))

"Stop Attack" is a silence spell with 10 AOE (only targetable on friendlies) which blocks attack for 0.01 secods =) Works flawlesly for now.
Thanks for your help.
