Move an item from one inventory slot to another?

[aussj5link]

So I have this system: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/equipment-system-version-2-2a-123336/?prev=of%3Ddownloads%26o%3DDESC%26u%3DFlood%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20 and I got it working pretty much fully. The only difference between my map and it is which slot I have the equipment menu (item) in when the game starts. The item is undroppable to prevent players from dropping the thing they need to access the menu. The problem is that my hero spawns after a few intro events I have setup which means I can't just set the slot the equipment menu is in from the editor. So what I have done is made a simple trigger that when the hero is made add the equipment menu item to their inventory. Of course the default slot for this is slot 1. In the map that I got the equipment system from, the hero has it in the 6th slot. This is the only difference between my map and it which is why I think that could be causing a bug in my map that is creating duplicates of anything that is in the 5th slot. I know this all sounds confusing but my aim here is fixing that duplication bug. I have extinguished all ideas on what could be causing this problem and I have come to the conclusion that the only thing left to try is matching the same slot the equipment menu item is in my map, with the one from the example map. I can't seem to find a trigger anywhere that will move an item from one slot to another though, any help here would be very appreciated. Thanks!

I suppose one weird way to fix this would be to give the hero 5 items. This would make it so that the only slot avaliable is the 6th slot which the equipment menu will be forced to go to. Afterwards I remove the 5 items and the game begins. I think that would work, what do you guys think?

I know I made such a system once or twice before. I don't recall which thread it was in though..

but yeah I used the method you suggested.

Correct, that is the only way to do this or well only way me and Chaosy seem to know.

I have to bump this for I have found a better answer to aussj5link's question.

It is in unit actions right around issue unit actions.

Well your creating 5 extra items when there is no longer any need too. Should be easy enough to switch over to this.
