Itempools

[Ham]

Is there a way for item pools to drop nothing at all? like 20% an item 20% other, 60% nothing.

and also i'd like to set a porcentage instead of droping an item, it spawn an hostile unit, how would i do so? i was thinking of using triggers with it such, when item is on map remove item - add unit.

any ideas? rep +

Normally I think you would have a trigger to do that, ask somebody else about that but...


When you set a table/drop thingy for a unit. If you put in like 5 items for a 20% for each item. Then remove 3 of them, I think the remaining 2 items only have a 40%/100% of dropping I think. Might be a WE bug that the dialog dosen't update but I suppose you could try it.

If you wanted to do a trigger for the dieing unit you could do this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Dies
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (the unit)
• Actions
  • Set Set_Point = (Position of (Dying unit))
  • Unit - Create 1 (Spawning Unit) for Neutral Passive at Set_Point facing (Position of (Dying unit))
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Set_Point )

+rep if that helped

You can change the percentage of the item to drop from a creep. Just put all ur items in then double click the item and at the top of the box that pops up it will say "Chance" as a percentage. You can change that to whatever you want as long as the total chance to drop an item is 100 or less

EDIT:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • Dying unit is evil
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 25
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Whatever for Bad Guys at (Position of (Dying unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
      • Else - Actions

I think this should be good, just change the 25 in "less than or equal to 25" to whatever number you want and that will be the chance that a unit will spawn (if you made it 50 there would be 50% chance for a unit to spawn)

^sorry for double post!!!!^ >.< my bad

Alternate way of doing it, helpful if you have LOTS of items and don't want tonnes of if/then/else's

Unit Type array variable called UnitDrop

Events
 Unit dies

Conditions
 Your conditions

Actions
 Set UnitDrop[1] = Thing1
 Set UnitDrop[2] = Thing2
 Set UnitDrop[3] = Thing3
 Create 1 UnitDrop[Random integer number between 1 and 3] at (Position of (Dying unit)) for <your player> facing <your degrees>

You can change that max integer number beyond the number of arrays to give it a chance to drop nothing, and you can put a unit in two fields to give it a higher chance of dropping.

Nothing against the above way, just thought Id throw this in as an extra incase you wanted to use this instead.

EDIT: Changed to units due to poor reading skills on my behalf

NinjasDotFight Itempools works with weight and not percentage, an example, if an item from the itempool's weight is 1 and other item is 1 too, (just these two items used) they chance to drop is 50% for each one because both of them have the same weight, i just wanted to make "an empty item" kind of, so when the chance (15%) drops nothing at all. (i am not using drop list, i am using itempools)

  • Unit - A unit Dies

Shendoo2 as i explained in the first post, this trigger won't help me because i want it to have a chance to create an unit, and not always and just not randomly, the unit must create when the item-drop-unit doesn't drop anything at all then it will have a chance to make that unit for neutral passive.

wolfman sorry again your trigger is to old for me, i am using itempools which is better way i know for item drops and they don't work with custom item-drop-list, your trigger isn't bad but it still need some fixes like "(Random integer number between 1 and 100)" you must first set a value for random integer else it will be leaking, and then again, you must make a trigger to get the exact integer from it, otherwise it'd make the times the "%" ur making in items, an example "Less than or equal to 25" if the integer is 17 it will make 17 items, i have already try it myself

PS: you can just merge posts (copy one to notepad, delete the post and post it back to the first one) so you won't be double posting.

so i must not use itempools you say?
