Item restrictions

[Shortyish]

I'm making a Capture the Flag map and i was wondering how to not let people from a team pick up their own flag. Any solutions?

anyone?

Event: a unit acquires an item
Condition: item type of acquired item equal to red flag
Action:
If owner of hero manipulating item equal to player 1 then hero - drop item from hero manipulating item.
else ---

repeat for every player (just copy and change to player 2, player 3, and make a new item for the other team).

PM me if you don't understand/need halp.

LordDz, I think that your way will allow to move flag as it will not drop at the same point where it was picked.
It's a bit more complexive.
Smth like

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Flag A
        • ((Triggering player) is in (All allies of Player 1 (Red))) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = <Position of Flag A>
      • Else - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = <Position of Flag B>
    • Item - Create (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) at TempPoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint )
    • Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)

Problem: The position of the flag is now the position of the unit.

Just store the position of the flag BEFORE it can be picked up. When it's dropped, update the flag location variables.

True.
You can try something with order and checking distance.

Dropping item from hero is an unclean solution - what you need is to forbid him to pick it up - so whenever he is ordered to pick it up, just stop him.
Unfortunatelly, using "stop" order doesn't work here for some reason, so just order the unit to use Channel (invisible icon, 0.01 duration)

Maybe the system I added (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=112712) applies to your question, it might give you the answers you seek in finding a solution
