Player Hero buys item from shop, trigger removes item but item bonuses stay?

[marvey323]

So, I have a trigger that removes an item from a player unit when he purchases it from a shop but the stat bonus remains on the hero, any reason why this is?

So, I have a stat boosting item like such as armor or agi/int/str/hp/mana and the bonuses remain even though the trigger removed the item from the hero. The item is not in the hero's inventory either so I know it's been removed.


Odd ??

Yeah.
That is a general bug in the game. I have encountered it plenty of times.

One way to circumvent it is to make the bought item a power up. Then run a trigger checking what you need to check. And if everything is in order then create the actual item and give it to the buying unit.

I know if you use this method you will have to create two of every item sold. But it works.

Can units only carry one of every type of item?
Because you only need to make a power up item for those which are unique equipped.

Anyway. That's the only work around I know of unless you want to change your whole item system.

Drop the item first (in the hero position) before removing them, that might do ( I hope)

But can that be done for items being bought?
I don't believe they can or am I forgetting something?

I don't remember that as well, it worth the try though, if the item is directly removed when it was bought, then it might work improperly, unless we add small wait (0.00 seconds).

I would prefer a 0.00 timer before removing the item.

Untitled Trigger 005 Events Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop) Conditions Actions Set sellInt = (sellInt + 1) If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions sellInt Equal to 1 Then - Actions Countdown Timer - Start sellTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds Else - Actions Set sellItems[sellInt] = (Sold Item) Untitled Trigger 002 Events Time - sellTimer expires Conditions Actions For each (Integer A) from 1 to sellInt, do (Actions) Loop - Actions Item - Remove sellItems[(Integer A)] Set sellInt = 0

Well if my map is multiplayer I have to create 8 timers for 8 players !

So you options are:
1. Create 200+ dummy items
or
2. Create 8 timers

If the countdown timer trick works I don't really see more than one option in this case.

No, only one.
