Item Upgrading

ManyFaces1999 · Apr 5, 2014

All right so how do I do this? I know how to combine an item by using triggers and item combinations + recipes. Now my problem is that I don't know how to upgrade items (Like DotA's dagon). I know it's easy to upgrade items, wherein you just need to buy a recipe and stuff. But what if I buy the item which is also an upgrade.

it's like this: item1recipe is shown in the shop. i made a trigger so that when a player buys item1recipe, it removes the recipe and creates item1 for the triggering unit. item1 has upgrades (like dagon, wherein buying the weapon itself also upgrades it). and my problem is that the Recipe is gone whenever you buy item1recipe. that means when i buy item1recipe, I'll just get anothet item1

Short Summary: How do I give an item an Upgrade SYstem like dagon IN WHICH Dagon is a recipe and at the same time an upgrade

Before u create item1 and give it to trigger unit, u could add an condition : If unit has an items type of item1, if yes, remove the recipe and item1 and give item2 to trigger unit

GIMLI_2 · Apr 5, 2014

its just like every other item too:

Dagon 1 requires:
-Staff of Wizardry
-Null Talisman
-Dagon Recipe

Dagon 2 requires:
-Dagon 1
-Dagon Recipe

Dagon 3 requires:
-Dagon 2
-Dagon Recipe

Yeah, make a condition trigger that scans what lvl of item1 the hero has when it gets the recipe. If lvl1, give lvl2, if lvl2, give lvl3 and so on.

ManyFaces1999 · Apr 6, 2014

But when I try to buy item1, it directly gives me item1lvl3 because I have conditions like : Triggering unit owns item1.

putting it like: Triggering unit owns item 1, Triggering unit owns item1recipe would be impossible since item1recipe gives you item1 directly

        -------- Here will be your remove recipe and create item --------

you dont need an own recipe for each item, thats what i tried to explain you.

ManyFaces1999 · Apr 7, 2014

Okay :3 Btw, how do I make a condition wherein I need two of the same item for the item to be complete? Like 2 Broadswords + recipe.

DD_legionTN · Apr 7, 2014

About this, your probably need loop function to help your count the number of same item using : Item comparison - Item carry by hero in slot (Loop_Integer) equal to Your_Item.
If yes, set Temp_Integer = Temp_Integer + 1. After that need a condition check if Temp_Integer = 2, if yes, mean the unit has 2 same type of item.

Later just do your remove stuff and create item.

Uhm. As Said, I'm a newbie here. I mean, what's that "Temp_Integer", "Loop_Integer" ? Sorry for all of this.

Those are custom variables made in the variable editor.
Those specifically are integer variables.

Okay. Now how do I do this? I've made some integers with the same names but what do I put in their sizes or arrays? And How do I set that "Set Temp_Integer = (Temp_Integer + 1) ?

DD_legionTN · Apr 9, 2014

The name wont affect the trigger execute, so just name it whatever you want as long as u know what the variable is used for. You don't need array for those variable ( You just ignore it currently, although it is very useful when making complicated stuff).

There should have an Arithmetic function at top, click the value and at the top will have the integer variables, and select Temp_Integer ( assume u named it Temp_Integer)

Guys. So I got really off topic here and I just couldn't understand what ya'll were saying. I've made a trigger that works. So, it's like this. Event - Unit acquires an item. Condition - Item type of Hell Sword Recipe is owned. Action - Wait 0.05 secs, Item - Remove item of type Hell Sword Recipe, Create Hell Sword Level 1 for triggering unit.

With this trigger, it gives me the recipe for 0.05 secs before it is turned into a Hell Sword Level 1. I thought of this and in Level 2, I just needed to remove the hellsword level 1 after acquiring it via a trigger leaving only the Level 2 hellsword.

Don't worry guys :3 I will credit all of you when it's finished

DD_legionTN · Apr 11, 2014

You just new to world editor, try to learn more from tutorials and you will soon understand what we're talking. And finally just an advise don't use wait since wait is very inaccurate.

ManyFaces1999 · Apr 11, 2014

I'll try :3 Well, it really doesn't matter if it comes out late or early as long as the outcome is right :3 Should I Provide my trigger here ? Maybe it would have leaks...

DD_legionTN · Apr 11, 2014

As long as your trigger is related to your item upgrading trigger, than you could post it here.

    - Else - Actions

Please tell me if there is anything wrong with this ^_^

DD_legionTN · Apr 12, 2014

Since your two trigger with same event, mean that both trigger will fire when unit aquired Hell Sword and causing bug.

Delete the Hell Sword Level 1 trigger, and move the condition+actions to Hell Sword Level 2
and place it in Else - Actions.

Btw you could remove the wait action...

deathismyfriend · Apr 12, 2014

It is better to combine triggers.

But two triggers will never run at the same time. They run one trigger after the other even if they have the same events / event time outs.

I tested it out and nothing was wrong. Though I was only using player 1 and I don't know if anything happens to other players. Anyways, how could the two triggers fire when their conditions are different ?

Trigger 2 has 2 conditions that needs to be completed, otherwise, it would mean that You're getting HS Level 1

deathismyfriend · Apr 12, 2014

What was happening was trigger one was finishing. Then trigger two would start and conditions were met.

Well 2 trigger won't fire at same time. But since the events are same, so both trigger will fire one by one. So its better combine these 2 trigger to prevent any issue, I don't know but you could try buy Hell Sword Level 1 then buy Hell Sword, this probably could cause two trigger fire one by one with fully meet the condition.
