Item to Ability

[iown_azz]

I am working on this capture the flag map and you have to make your own paths with the tree eaters but you have to buy the item from a shop and I want to know how to make the item to turn into an ability like in Custom Hero Line Wars and Footies

This should do it

• trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to item
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add ability to (Buying unit)
    • Item - Remove (Sold Item)

Another way would be to use powerups, because you can buy them even if your inventory is full and you don't have to remove the item.

 

[spencenator]

very true, either way works

 

[iown_azz]

It doesn't work for me. Is there another easy way?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

What exactly does not work?
That is the only solution. You have to detect an item buy then remove the item and add the ability to the buying unit.

 

[iown_azz]

The whole thing

Here is the map. The Item is in the custom power up called tree eaters and the spell is in the custom night elf. If you can please help me I would really appreciate it.

First of all, your trigger should look more like this:

• Tree Branch
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Tree Eater
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Force of Nature to (Triggering unit)

Also, you cannot add an ability to a unit properly when an item is already giving the unit that ability. If you remove the Force of Nature ability from the item and fix the trigger as I have demonstrated, it should work (it does for me, and I have it working now).

Thanks Berbanog it helped a lot. Lol but how would remove it now

 

[spencenator]

Remove the item you mean? Last line of previously stated trigger.

If the item is perishable as a power-up then you shouldn't need to.

I re-created your item based on a power-up and it is properly removed from the inventory without the need to remove it through code.
