Hi. I've been trying to workout triggers for working out Recipe style items. i.e Boots of speed + Gem of sight + Boots of sight recipe = Boots of sight. (Just random names as an example) Anyways if anyone knows how to do this and can help me out I would appreciate it, thanks. :wink:

This is so frustrating!! I just tried your concept and it doesn't do anything still. I have all the conditions right I have these item (periapt of vitallity), (Shield of longevity), (Recipe).It seems like it just hates me. Whenever i test my map and buy all 3 items nothing ever happens. I have also tried a harder Recipe Trigger and copied it and still nothing. Please Help. I need something that works for 2 Different Item types, and a Recipe

Fix a little or he won't understand :goblin_yeah:

        • If - Conditions
          • ((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type item 1) Equal to True
          • ((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type item 2) Equal to True
          • ((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type item-recipe (if needed) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type item 1 )
          • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type item 2)
          • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type item-recipe)
          • Hero - Create Final-item and give it to (Hero manipulating item)
        • Else - Actions
However you can set item1 item2 etc... to Array Variables for faster using.
( Little Note: I'm using Runes for Repcipe )

        • Else - Actions
(Note: The created item says periapt of vitality but its actually the Recipe item) I'm sorry I don't know how to post the trigger how it looks exactly in the Trigg editor. I hope this is good enough. Also I tried the trigger again this morning and i still can't make it work. its gotta be me I just don't know where i went wrong. Are you guys using Item-type variables? just wondering.

Which trigger you are using?

- Change 'Hero Manipulating Item' for 'Triggering Unit'
- If you are not using the 'Else' function, use the common condition/actions in the trigger.

I Changed the unit to triggering from hero manipulating and moved conitions up to the regular position. but still nothing happens.

Actions are fine, Conditons are fine. It should work.

- Some obvious stuff: Is the Trigger Active? Is the Trigger On? Does the Unit really have those items and not different ones?
-----------------------------------

Some possible solutions:
1) Make the recipe usable, and trigger when the recipe is used.

-----------------------------------

Edit: You're definitely doing something wrong :) I did this in 2 minutes and worked perfectly.
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    • Conditions
      • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Claws of Attack +15) Equal to True
      • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Crown of Kings +5) Equal to True
      • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Kelen's Dagger of Escape) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Claws of Attack +15)
      • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Crown of Kings +5)
      • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Kelen's Dagger of Escape)
      • Hero - Create Mask of Death and give it to (Triggering unit)
Maybe Shield of Arthas is based on a PowerUp, or has 'Used when acquired', or something...
Create a Debug Message (Add a Game - Display to all players the text: Bla bla' to check if the trigger is actually working and it's just an action that doesn't work)

Solved! Okay I had my shop selling the wrong periapt of vitallity for some reason and the gold cost was the same so i never picked up on it. Thanks all for the help. tested and works! I also Changed the items name from Shield of Arthas to Shield of Phantom and added a trigger effect to where when you cast the shield you take 0 damage for 4 seconds.
