[Trigger] Lumber cost of an item.

[seurimas]

I'm having some slight trouble with a set of triggers I'm trying to make.

In theory, it would make it so you require X amount of lumber to get an item, but you wouldn't actually lose the lumber. There doesn't seem to be a "Lumber Cost of Item" variable of any variety, nor do I want to risk setting the life of items to super low values that this might need and syncing the life and lumber cost.

Is there a way to have it just cost nothing but require X lumber?

Thanks in advance.

y, ofc there is a way.
would look like this , Theoretical:

Unit buys Item
Trigger checks if Player has X lumber

If then else:
If y then do nothing
else drop item and remove/destroy it

A better idea would be :
Set the lumber cost of an item to X ,meaning that a player must have that much lumber to buy the item,and when he buys it just give him back the lumber he spent,simple,fast,efficient

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to <Your Item Type>
  • Actions
    • Player - Add <X> to (Owner of (Buying unit)) Current lumber

y, this is also a way to go, and it is a good one.

I suppose that's how it'll have to go, but there's going to be dozens/hundreds of items to do and a trigger that runs through the list in some fashion might be counter productive. I think I'll just set their life to their lumber cost and use that (you can find the life, you can't find the cost )

there is realy a difficult in understanding what u mean, pls try it again
but more clearlier, thx.

so u have a periodic event that checks all and everything ?, i dont get it..

There's a lot of different items with a lot of different costs.

And even if I did make a couple hundred triggers that check for Item-type = something condition, I know that I will make the mistake often of changing the lumber but not the trigger.

You can make a native that gets item cost for all items. Simply import a modified native list to include the one the AI script uses for item lumber cost in it and WC3 passes it. You can then use it to your hearts content for any item.

if you want the items to have different lumber requirements then AKI_SER's way is the only way you could do it. But you dont need to make countless new triggers, you could also make it a if, then, else multiple functions trigger for it so you dont have to make countless triggers just 1 very big one

like this:

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to <You're FirsItem>
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Add X* to (Owner of (Buying Unit)) Current lumber
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to <You're SecondItem>
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Add Y* to (Owner of (Buying Unit)) Current lumber
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to <You're ThirdItem>
            • Then - Actions
              • Player - Add Z* to (Owner of (Buying Unit)) Current lumber
              • Else - Actions

X* = lumber cost of your first item
Y* = lumber cost of your second item
Z* = lumber cost of your third item

SIDENOTE - I didn't test this trigger ingame yet, so you MIGHT need to add in the "Else - Actions" te following action: Do Nothing

Do nothing is a blank function call so never use it as it wastes processor time.

Like I said, simply extend WC3 to support the get item lumber cost native. It is a simple file import job and is a hell of a lot more efficent than an if statement tree system.
