[Trigger] One of specific item per unit

[mtt_asch]

well, i just got back into map making when i ran acrossed a problem. I made weapons and i noticed people just kept grabbing more of them when really you were only suppose to have one. So now i am trying to fix that little problem. I tried this trigger

Luger 2
Events
Unit - A unit Acquires an item
Conditions
(Item-type of (Matching item)) Equal to *****
Actions
If (((Matching item) is owned) Equal to True) then do (Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Triggering unit)) else do (Do nothing)







Nothing. he is not dropping the second item. Please help?

You cant use "Matching Item" in those cases, you better try the first time "Item being manipulated".

Maybe you try this trigger i wrote for you. It checks in a loop the amount of Items carried by the Hero, that picks up the item. Then it drops the Item, if there is already one.
If you want an item not to be affected by this trigger, then you have to add a general condtion for the trigger like this: "Item being manipulated is not equal to "your choice"

• Events
  • Einheit - A unit aquires an Item
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set i = 0
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Aktionen
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • 'IF'-Bedingungen
          • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Ankh der Reinkarnation
        • 'THEN'-Aktionen
          • Set i = (i + 1)
        • 'ELSE'-Aktionen
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • 'IF'-Bedingungen
      • i Greater than 1
    • 'THEN'-Aktionen
      • Held - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
    • 'ELSE'-Aktionen[/quote]

I translated the important things.

Now i need it for not just one unit but a few more. what would i do then?

And i tried putting in the item being manipulated in the trigger but now the unit cant have the item at all.

and notice this trigger is not for a hero, it is for any unit.

And also thanks for making the trigger, i cant read german, i only know a few words.

my trigger is one correct solution, i tried it, maybe you should have done this too before reposting -.-!

Hero doesnt mean Hero Unit, it only means a unit with an inventory, and of course your trigger solution doesnt work, you have the item, when you acquired it, so why dont you use my trigger?

There are any important German words anymore in it! or are there any?^^

PS: The Trigger i posted works for every unit with an inventory in your map, its absolutely Multiplayer useable^^

ok, let me put it to you blatently, I have no idea what you put there. So even if it is a perfectly good trigger (thanks for the thought though, much appreciated) I wouldn't know what to put. The only thing i got out of that trigger is that it has a variable. I am not an expert trigger person.

 

[mtt_asch]

Let me put this to you blatently, I cannot understand your trigger. There is insufficient information there. For example i dont know what type of variable that is. I also can't understand the vital parts (mostly cause they're in german). so even if it is a good trigger (thanks for trying to help though, much appriciated) i cannot understand it.

Just assign custom values to the weapons. Then check it by triggers. If there already is an item with that value, drop the aquired one.

i am working on emma's trigger right now. I want to see if that could be solution.
Also how did you get the:
Held - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
Action?
Also should i make a second trigger for when the unit drops the gun?

you could try the link in my sig.

apperently your trigger worked itself out. I have no idea how it did because i thought one he picked up the pistol it would add, and not count when he dropped it and minus it then. I think i might be making this more complex then it is.
