MUI Advanced Equipment System (+Save/Load +Event)

This is my Advanced Equipment System

It is based on the same idea like many others: click on an item and it gets equipped, click on it in the equipment screen to unequip it.

It is advanced because it has many special options available!
Prevent unit types from equipping certain items.
Items may change animations.
Save/load code integration
and many more...

For explaination of the included functions check the documentations included in the map

Features:
  • decide whether a weapon is one or twohanded
  • give a unit a special animation tag, depending on the equiped item
  • an offhand tag will overwrite all mainhand tags (a shield will always cause defend animation)
  • functions for forcing equip/unequip
  • functions for getting information
  • functions for prohibiting a unit from equipping an item (for example for race-only items)
  • Save/load code generator included
  • Register Events to your triggers, firing on item equip and unequip
  • items can give countless abilities



my system is MUI, so every unit can have its own equipment, and easy to customize.
full documentation included.

New improved "How to import" and "How to Use" included, too!!

YOU NEED JNGP AND JASS KNOWLEDGE TO GET THIS WORKING! WITHOUT JNGP AND JASS KNOWLEDGE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!

I importet some files!!!
the icons and models don't violate any rules, because they are necessary to show what this system can do!! credits ingame.

comment and if you like it maybe +rep^^
give credits when used

have fun

IMPORTANT:
For all who ask me to make the system in a spellbook:
That would be much more work for the users of this system and highly inefficient!!
I will not change that so don't ask me to do that anymore!




UPDATE v.1.5:
I read vercas suggestions and improved my scripting.
Adding an item is now much more simple^^
thx to vercas for his review

UPDATE v.2.0:
Tige_R found a bug, reseting the shield animation when another item got unequipped
fixed that!!

UPDATE v.3.0: BIG thx to teldrassil who found a huge bug which was settled in all my systems!!! i managed to fix it and updated ALL my newer systems!!!

UPDATE v.4.0: now there is no need anymore that the equipable items are of one itemclass! added system code to the description here

UPDATE v.5.0: it's possible now, to make items give up to 3 abilities when equipped instead of 1 in the previous versions...

UPDATE v.6.0: The bug fixed in v.2.0 was still there... now its really gone AND the script is 1.24 compatible

UPDATE v.6.5: added a new function (IsEquipmentClassEmpty) to check whether a specific unit has something from class x equipped
more information in the code

UPDATE v.7.0: added a new function (GetEquipItemID) to get an items rawcode which is equipped
more information in the code

UPDATE v.8.0: added 3 new functions (GetEquipItemIndex, EquipItemByIndex and EquipItemByID) to get an items index which is equipped (not the same as rawcode) and to equip a item by this index, which helps with the usage of Save/Load Systems
the last function makes you able to equip an item by its rawcode.
more information in the code

UPDATE v.9.0: again 2 new functions for prohibiting a unit from equipping an item or allowing it again for it(EnableItemEquipByID and EnableItemEquipByIndex) and a new function for getting the index of an item (not of its rawcode) --> GetItemIndex
Also much better performance because of the use of hastables!

UPDATE v.10.0: all O(n) searches are now replaced by hashtables!! also there is a new function (TransferEquipment) to move the equipment from unit a to unit b

UPDATE v.11.0: made the item registeration useable outside the library, improved documentation

Update v.12.0: created a how to import and structured the code a little more. also improved the empty-slot-icons

Update v.13.0: New code for equipping items and a new workaround for twohanded items

Update v.14.0: Reworked the beginning of the code, changed variable names, and removed a last rest of german i left in the testmap...


NEW versions:
Update v.2.0: At first I'd like to thank you for your great support!!
As so many of you love it I decided to refresh this a little!
Well i got a lot more experience since i first uploaded this and decided to remake the code... now takes advantage of much more efficient struct usage, doesn't need any hashtable anymore, runs smoother, more ways to work with (if you understand vJass), and many more new things...
Whole new documentation and new methods to work with!
Of course I kept the old names for most of the functions to make it easier for you to apply the new update!
SO: Have fun :D

Update v.2.1: Added Save/Load system, fixed the unequip function, added unequipAll function

Update v.2.2: Added Events and updated the "how to use"

UPDATE v.2.3: Thanks to creativeRPG for finding a very bad bug! i fixed it and suggest everyone to only use the new code!! the one from 2.2 may not work and freeze your game!

Update v.2.4: creativeRPG found more deadly bugs: you could equip items with all units you wanted to the unit owning the inventory and when equipping a one handed weapon while a two handed weapon was equipped the "offhand slot not available" button didn't vanish... fixed now! redownload is necessary!!!!!

Update v.2.5: aaaand again creativeRPG found a bug when you have too many items in your map the index gets too high for the system and it stops working

Update v.3.0: I chagned the whole code for equipping and unequipping and improved the ability handling:
its possible to get up to 50 abilitites from each item
added disbtns for my icons

Update v.3.1: Fixed bugs with syncing the inventories causing mass item creation on the map, made items in the dummys inventory undropable

Update v.4.0: Reduced Abilities per item to 20, fixed a bug for multiplayer usage preventing a second player from using the system, fixed an animation bug where the shield animation didn't disappear

Update v.5.0: New code cause the old one was buggy as hell :D works like a charm now

Update v.5.1: Fixed a bug regarding set Equipment[].owner=

Update v.5.2: Fixed a bug causing standard items to unequip registered equipment

I have one question witcher could you make it so there are like 3 types of armor in game like cloth leather and mail? For example a rogue can only wear cloth or leather not mail.

Would greatly appreciate it if you got close to that ill add credits into my map if you could do this for me.

Or tell me if this is even possible since i havent seen anything like it yet :/ But other than that its a great system one of the best if not best ive seen on here.

Thank you

Of course it is possible now when we got this nice 'GetEquipItemID' wich you need to run everytime something is equipped.

Is it possible that this system doesn't work with the new patch :( ?
If i try to start the map i can't, it just don't start.
It's a pity i would really love to use this in my map.

Strange i tried it again today and it worked at once, thanks for your reply.
It's a really great system, +rep.
But i wonder why it is only possible to add 3 abilities? Cause if a want +health, +mana,+manareg and +stats (e.g.), i already have too much or is there an other way to add these?

edit: of cause vercas, i should have known it, thanks.

About the Spellbook:

I will NOT put it in a spellbook!!

The user would have to add every ability to the spellbook and to deactivate them at the map initialization manually cause the system can't do this for him (it would have to know which abilities are used by the system and which not)

so it would be one of the most userUNfriendly systems here

in addition its much more realistic that you have to find a safe place for managing your equipment^^

I'm actually working on a GUI version of this system with relative success. Hopefully, I'll make some significant progress. Basically, the GUI is not very difficult to understand, just time consuming to create, since the inventory will be managed by several arrays of abilities. It will be easier to understand, but much more time consuming to implement. So I was wondering, where did you get the icons for the inventory (non-equipped) and can I export them from your map?

The trigger 'Equpment system' must have an initialization function called "InitTrig_Equipment_system".

I get this error and it cancels the trigger "Equipment system" so it basically stops working. Do u know how 2 fix this ? :/

Lol hey pal, it's me again. Been editing and shaping this system like crazy to fit my many needs and even though it's hard and my coding is bad it's turning out great.

So far I made it so each basic item has a basic attachment tag (like the model file of the wep) that can be changed in another region of the map (allowing you to choose from many model files for the same weapon) I also made it so the system would save this per unit and load that unit's saved weapon model file for the equipped weapon.

I've made many other mods too but right now I'm working on ranged weapons, I've decided to replace the unit entirely and I've been able to transfer over all the variables and such with the new unit, but am unable to assign the item abilities from the old units inventory to the new one. I haven't downloaded the newest v yet so I'm going to see if I can use the save / load as a solution.

Anyways keep up the good work, I suggest adding ranged weapons because I'd be interested to see how you'd do it, since you can code much better than I lol.

hope you're doing well, great job

-Teld

oh and p.s. I made all my items use spellbooks as the item ability it evaluates, then added an event to enable on the unequip and disable on the equip, allowing every item to have a ridiculous amount of abilities. The problem with this is my ability editor is getting really full. working well so far though

Edit: I guess what I'm saying is that I need the ability to transfer one unit's inventory over to another

Double Edit: aggggh! the new version doesnt allow the edits I've been making towards my ranged weps, I'll fiddle around with it but I doubt I'll get it to work.

I was thinking range units would be making the unit itself a ranged hero but make his initial damage 0 ( so he cant do ranged damage without a weapon ) then the weapons would have to be like +20 damage for the first one, where the sword would be +10 damage because they already have initial damage. I dont know how well this would turn out though. :/

btw wher do i find the raw data for the items ? (the rawcode)
 
@Daxter3005
you can see the rawcodes by pressing Ctrl + d in the object editor

@teldrassil
well i promised helping you^^

so here is v.10.0!!

with a new function TransferEquipment(UnitA, UnitB) you can give unit b the equipment of unit a!! that should help you:
(create your ranged unit, give it the equipment of the existing and then remove the existing unit)

Hmm, after testing the transfer inv I managed to get it to work, but it doesn't reset the item abilities. (meaning the character keeps the items in the inventory but does not receive their bonuses.

Wait, wait, that's probably because I didn't update said function with my variables. heh.

Hey I need a way to reference the last equipped item while replacing it with a new one. (I've tried and tried and for the life of me I can't seem to get it)

Here's what I did, with my limited coding knowledge.

I've made it so when each item is equipped it has an additional integer that it evaluates, the "onewepinteger" what I need is a way to pull up this integer from the item that is being replaced (I have it working for the item that is replacing it, just not the origonal item) The goal here is that when an item is equipped and has this integer it creates a dummy unit, this dummy unit is used to restrict the buying of certain items if you do not have the dummy unit. (upgrades for certain weps require the wep to be equipped, it registers this by registering the dummy unit that is created when the weapon is equipped due to this integer I added) now the problem with the system right now is that it does not kill the dummy unit attatched to the item you're replacing. (it still registers a sword as an axe for example, as well as a sword)

understand what I need? kinda complex, and I'm pretty sure I can do it with the way the code is, I just don't know how.

In the simplest form, I need to reference the item being replaced when you equip an item.


EUREKA!

nvm I got it after about 10 hours of work, finally.

mayhe it has been asked already, but can you add more than 3 abilitys with this?

if you modify the trigger ofc :p

and do the abilitys stack?
2 examples:
you give an item 2 times a +3 agi ability
or
you have 2 items (the same) that give +3 agi

yes it is possible but you would have to modify the code.
the abilities stack if they aren't the same!
give every item unique abilities!!
