[General] Items undropabble, but still sellable

[plumsy460]

Is there a way through triggers to make items undroppable, but still sellable and able to move it around in your inventory?

I tried to test around with Unit - Loses an item, where the item would dissapear if you dropped it, and you would recieve a copy in replacement. But that messed up a lot of things when buying items from shops.

If I change the droppable option in the object editor, the item is not even sellable, all left-clicks are forbidden.

when the unit drops the item just get it back to the hero like this

• Events
  • Unit - A Unit dropped an Item
• Actions:
  • Hero - Give (Dropped Item) to (Dropping Hero)

I THINK

There is no dropped an item event.

This is really strange, I've attached a map so people can see the error he is talking about. Maybe there is some option in the object editor I didn't see, but when buying an item from the goblin merchant the item is given to the unit with the red arrow above them. Another thing is that the shop gets a copy of the item for some reason.

I've tried this trigger and many other combinations of conditions and actions (this was my last attempt).

• Untitled Trigger 004
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Hero manipulating item)) Not equal to Goblin Merchant
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.10 seconds
    • Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to (Hero manipulating item)

Maybe there's something I'm missing here

Thank you both for your replies. Especially you TriggerHappy, thanks for looking into this

Your last attempt was indeed what I was looking for. I tried without the "wait" but the map crashed so I guess it was there for a reason^^
Now I just need to find a way to perfect the trigger in case two players drops an item at the same time. But for now I consider my problem to be fixed. Thanks a lot

This is interesting. I tried it out and it seems to work perfectly. Thanks a lot!

It's the first time I have seen this kind of trigger. Would it make a difference if you used "Run Trigger - Untitled Trigger 002" without the event?

I think you need the 0.00 second delay.

I made a small mistake in the trigger.

Count = count + 1 should be the first action. Then use If count equal to 1, not 0. And in the second trigger, loop from 1 to count.

Ah okay, thanks.

It seemed to work fine before though?
