Making Items Stackable

[LangerLulatsch]

Okay i used this [System] Item Stacking - The Helper Forums to make items stackable. But when i try to stack items like ring of protection the effect doesnt stack only the charges increase. It would be really nice if somebody could explain to me how i can change that.

Isn't that what item stacking is about? Or are you after twice the effect of the same item?

Yes i want that the effects of the items stack too.

You could make it per trigger. The event should be unit pick up item. Then of course the if then else if it can increase charge. At the same time add a ability to the unit which increase the armor with 2.

hmm thank you for the idea will think about it. but isnt there an other way to do it ?

there is also a Bonus Stack System for Atk;Def;Hp;Mp - all the things, that stack in wc3- that you can find here Link.

But in combination with your Item Stacking System, im not really sure if it works properly.

Triggering by yourself as HANKY said, would be the best solution i think.

I dont think theres any other way besides writing triggers for each item. What you want is basically not item stacking system but recipes.

ah okay thanks all for clearing that up for me. i will try to find a solution then.

You can't stack items with effects, uneless if you have a trigger like "if hero has 2x that item then items will be removed and a new item that has 2x better effects than the removed items will be added to the hero."

2x ring that gives +1 str = 1x ring that gives +2 str

Don't know any other solutions.

Item effects are not multiplied (blizzard did not make wc3 support that).
Thus it purly gains twice the value for the same power.

 

[Hanky]

Then just make a ability with levels and set the level equal to the charges everytime per trigger.

 

[Super-Sheep]

You can't change level of an ability from an item?

 

[Hanky]

I meant from the ability you add, per trigger, to the unit when you pick up the item. But whatever.

 

[Super-Sheep]

You cant add ability to an item via triggers. (he wants item ability)

 

[Hanky]

I meant the unit who pick up the item. How you can read some posts before:
