[Trigger] no tomes?

[CHA_Owner]

i made an item that summons a pack mule for a period of time how can i make it so that the summed unit cannot buy tomes since right now it causes game to crash

Well, you need to trigger it.

Events
A unit starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
Ability being cast Equal to (Your summoning ability)
Actions
Set Point1 = (Position of (Casting unit))
Unit - Create 1 Pack Mule for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Point1 facing defaulkt building degrees
Unit - Add X.00 seconds Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Events
A unit acquires an item
Conditions
((Unit-type of (Hero Manipulating Item)) Equal to Pack Mule
(Item-type of (Item being Manipulated)) Equal to Tome of Experience)
Actions
Set Point2 = (Position of (Hero Manipulating Item))
Unit - Order (Hero Manipulating Item) to drop (Item being manipulated) at Point2
Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point2)




Edit: It doesn't work. Sorry.


Edit2:

Events
Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Pack Horse
(Item-type of (Target item of issued order)) Equal to Tome of Experience
Actions
Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Stop

This?

Edit3: Neither this can work. I reeeeeeally don't know.

I assume you gave the pack mule an inventory?
The inventory is the hero inventory (Which allows the unit to buy and use items). Copy the ability [creating a new one] and remove the flag that allows the unit to buy items [from the ability]
And be sure to give your unit the new inventory ability, instead of the other one.

"Can get items", that is?

But that removes the capability of purchasing items, doesn't it?

Well it eliminates the buildings ability to select the unit as a hero. "Can get items" keeps units from giving that unit items, i believe. I think what might be causing the crash, is that the unit has items when it's expiration timer 'expires'. Which would make the items disappear into oblivion.
So maybe an expiring pack horse would be a bad idea.
Maybe you could have a pack horse vendor. and make units drop items once they enter a region or something.

Ahm, no, the bug occurs by the time you pick up an item of type tome of Experience, so the crash is done due to the lack of experience bar of the unit; i mean, inventory is created for heroes mostly. Even the ability out of Unit abilities is called "Inventory (Hero)".

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Which is what i was suggesting at first. Making the hero inventory a unit inventory. That cannot USE items. I was misunderstood. Maybe because I didn't make myself clear.
And for the misconception, the hero inventory is a unit ability because it is not supposed to be levellable. Hero abilities are castable and levellable abilities (for the most part). Unit abilities are normally just general abilities given to the unit.

I know there is a GUI trigger for this my friend who is on vacation made one that worked so someone please try to find one for me

 

[Super-Sheep]

Make FAKETOMES and REALTOMES.

When unit acquires FAKETOMEOFAGILITY then do nothing.
When hero acquires FAKETOMEOFAGILITY then remove FAKETOMEOFAGILITY from the game and create item REALTOMEOFAGILITY for hero-manipulating-item.

FAKETOMES are just items without any abilities, they just have same icon as normal tomes.

 

[CHA_Owner]

i dont really understand what you are saying?

 

[Magissia]

Make a tome that do nothing and don't auto-use, if a unit pick it upn then do nothing, if a hero pick it up, then delete this fake tome and add XXX exp / str / int / agi to the hero

 

[CHA_Owner]

I decided to just change the pack mule to a hero unit and it fixed everything ty for the help though

 

[Meticulous]

...Okay, but picking up a tome with your pack mule will still waste it, right?

 

[jadegolem]

The answer to your solution is very simple. If you want the mule to carry but not be able to use items, create another inventory(hero) ability and check off the box that says "Can use items". If you want the mule to use items but not get tomes, the answer is very easy as it is a simple trigger.

• Tome
• Events
  • Unit - A unit uses an item
• Conditions
  • Borlean - (Hero Manipulating Item) is a hero equal to true
• Actions
  • If (Item type of (Item Being Manipulated) equal to Tome of Strength then (Hero - Set strength of (Hero Manipulating Item) to (Strength of (Hero Manipulating Item) + <Wanted Value>)

As you can see, you can easily change the item type and the attribute type without mistakes. Sorry about the icons, I cant seem to remember the correct name of the triggers but its close.

Yes, but the gold may be refunded using triggers

 

[warden13]

Make a different shop that sells only tomes. There will be no items. Change this unit's abilites to Select Unit -> to Select Hero. So your carrier wont be able to buy here, will able to buy from normal item shops.

 

[Archangel_Tidusx]

Or, you could just set the "Automatically use when picked" field to false in all the tomes.

QFT.

So shut the heck up with your wrong information.
