Item without recipe

[Jay the Editor]

I want to make an item that requires combination of items but doesn't need the recipe to combine. If you play DotA before, item that doesn't need the recipe to combine still show at the shop but it cannot be buy. When you click on that specific item, it will shows that "You do not need to purchase the recipe for this item"

Can anyone help me with this? I just want that item to show on the shop cannot be buy.

If your map doesn't need lumber, then make the item cost 1 lumber if not make the stock start delay to - 3600 (i guess your map won't last that long). But I know dota have a trigger on it.

EDIT: I guess this would work, just make a dummy item for the recipe that the player will see on the merchant, put that item on the condition, then the other one that the player will really recieve

Sample trigger

OH WAIT IT DIDN'T WORK, JUST wait, I also did this on my map, I just need to recall the trigger

EDIT: That should work now, but try it, I only try it when a unit picks the item not actually bought it oh about the action it should be "triggering unit not Gunner001"

My map did use lumber :O
Anyway, thanks for your help
I found a way for that. I used unit as an dummy item. Of course, that unit don't have any model.
There goes my trigger who needs it.

• Disabled
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Selling unit)) Equal to Arcane Vault
    • (Unit-type of (Selling unit)) Equal to Arcane Vault
  • Actions
    • Set tempPlayerGroup = (Player group((Owner of (Sold unit))))
    • Game - Display to tempPlayerGroup for 3.00 seconds the text: ...
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_tempPlayerGroup)

The text displays "You do not need to purchase the recipe for this item"

Great that you discover it, haha we don't have the same idea on mind

Here's a simple way to do it:

It might be simpler but still the item can be buy.

Just use Tomes instead of real items bought and be given to the Hero.

Tomes can still be bought if your Hero has full inventory item, therefore eventhough you have full inventory, you still can click the item and has the message "You don't need recipe item for this item"

Oh. I didn't think about that :/ Thanks, defskull +rep. I gotta update my map now

You can also add a stock of 0 to your items. If you click, nothing will happen, and no triggers to do it ^^

Hmm.. I guess defskull's idea much better because I want the items to look the same If all items got the number of 1 but the items got stock of 0 it will looks a bit much different. >< ..
