item unit swap

[Rebal]

Hi i am using a item were when ckilcked will but your unit in a mairne suit but can as so hold more then 1 suit item at a time when u drop the item u will turn back in to your normal form. the problem i have been haveing is i have been using a trigger and the trigger has swaped the units but i never clicked the item and the item is not in the inventory of the other unit can u help me?

first, you have to be more precise...
make sure the trigger checks that the "item of being manipulated" is in the heros inventory like

item of being manipulated equal to carried of hero (ur hero) in slot ....
cant remeber how to ignore that slot specified thing... and then make the item activates upon aquiering to false(un check the box)(or make it similar)

elles i cant help u cus i cant understand you...

Please explain with more clarity

ok sorry i was not clear enough the problem is that i have writen the trigger right but the problem is when it replaces the old unit with the new the item is gona and when i set the trigger to when used it does not work at all. see u should be able to change freely back and forth between being in a suit of armour and not haveing it on. think of how the parasite 2 units work.

Here's the trigger:

• Item swap
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item being manipulated) Equal to (Item carried by ("Your Hero") of type Marine Armor)
  • Actions
    • Set Armor_Suit = Marine Armor
    • -------- The trigger you have for swapping units --------
    • Hero - Create Armor_Suit and give it to "Your Hero"

ok i tried your trigger and it is still not working. the wep attachment for the new unit is coming up after the unit picks up the item but when i go to use the item it will not switch the units and when i switch the trigger around it did nothing but mutiply the unit.

Please post the trigger, and I'll try to get it working as fast as possible, ok?

This is the trigger i have been using to switch the units but it is destorying the item and i need it so i can use the item to get in the armour but when i drop the item i will turn back in to my normal state.

Trigger:
Events
Unit - A unit Uses an item
Conditions
((Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Sniper Suit) is owned) Equal to True
Actions
Unit - Replace (Hero manipulating item) with a Sniper using The new unit's default life and mana


here is a piic to give u the more genreal idea im going at: + item=
- item=

The trigger for equipping the suit:

• Sniper Suit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Sniper Suit
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering Unit) with a Sniper using The new unit's default life and mana
    • Hero - Create Sniper Suit (In use) and give it to (Last replaced unit)

The trigger for un-equipping the suit:

• Sniper Suit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Sniper Suit (In use)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Replace (Triggering Unit) with a "NormaUnit" using The new unit's default life and mana
    • Hero - Create Sniper Suit and give it to (Last replaced unit)

You need two items here:

"Sniper Suit":	Activates the switch.
"Sniper Suit (In use)":	Turns the unit normal again.

I think this oughta work fine... Atleast I hope so!

ya i tried your trigger and it did not work it looks like i will be scraping this progect till a later tiem when i have figured out how to work this trigger.

If you use transform unit ability it will work.

You might want to add/remove an ability to the units.

I was working on a method to where a hero unit would go home to "change" into armor. I kept on having problems with the replace unit - because as a hero the replaced unit would start off with the same level as the unit it is replacing but all the skills/abilities had to be "relearned".

Adding and removing "crow form" or a similar unit switching spell as part of your trigger may work.

Something along the lines of:

• Changing via item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Add Change outfit to (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Special Medivh - Raven Form
    • Unit - Remove Change outfit from (Triggering unit)

The custom spell is based on Crow (raven) form, thus to use the spell we have the unit use Raven form (or human form how ever you set it up.


Then you would have another trigger based on

• Unit - A unit Loses an item

Upside, you should be able to get around one problem, downside is that you can not use "crow form" for two customized spells for one unit then expect ordering a unit without a target to work for the form you want or need. There are several shape-shifting types of spells that you can use for different changes.
