Plea for help

alright, im working on a gui multiboard inventory system. Ive started dropping items, and it doesnt work 100%. I think they stay hidden after theyre dropped...

• Inventory Init

    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temppoint[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())])

and finally, the item drop trigger. thanks for any help.
(copy as text for the WIN)

youre also welcome to pick at the numerous other flaws im sure there are in my triggering.

 

[Pharaoh_]

• Set Inventory[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created multiboard)

That should be

• Set Inventory[(Player number of (Player(IntegerB)))] = (Last created multiboard)

Plus, I don't know if it works for you, but I would not use this:

• Hashtable - Save True as (Integer A) of (Key (Picked player)) in InvHash

I'd use

• Hashtable - Save True as (Key((value) + (String(IntegerA))) of (Key (Picked player)) in InvHash

 

[GoGoTauren]

• Set Inventory[(Player number of (Picked player))] = (Last created multiboard)

That should be

• Set Inventory[(Player number of (Player(IntegerB)))] = (Last created multiboard)

oh thanks missed that... It didnt fix the main problem though so noone think i dont need help still

Plus, I don't know if it works for you, but I would not use this:

• Hashtable - Save True as (Integer A) of (Key (Picked player)) in InvHash

I'd use

• Hashtable - Save True as (Key((value) + (String(IntegerA))) of (Key (Picked player)) in InvHash

nah it just gets in the way if i save a value with that... i still might if the need arises but I dont think it will.

 

[Pharaoh_]

So, explain to me, what happens if you drop your items? What do you mean when you say that they might stay hidden?

 

[GoGoTauren]

well,
i made it that when theyre picked up, theyre saved in the hashtable and put on the multiboard, then the physical item is hidden. When it is dropped, its removed from the hashtable, multiboard, the physical item is moved to the position of the hero and unhidden.

(i forgot to remove from the hashtable so just then i added

• Hashtable - Save Handle OfNo item as (Key (items + (String(selectedrow[(Player number of (Triggering player))])))) of (Key (Triggering player)) in InvHash

to the drop trigger

i just realised something i might have done wrong, the handle id's in the drop trigger. I havnt changed them back when i moved around my add trigger... you probably wouldnt understand but it makes sense to me

ha it works as always, thanks for your undying support pharaoh, I'll probably have some more flawed GUI for you tomorrow

 

[GoGoTauren]

bump / new problem

alright.. now theres a problem with items duplicating. Im testing for exact circumstances, but basically picking them up n dropping them a lot

edit: ok, my hypothesis is that the item is being picked up and written down on the multiboard and everything without disappearing...

alright, its something to do with the debug trigger...

 

[Pharaoh_]

By the way, for the drop thing, you could have an integer that increases every time your unit picks an item. Of course that integer is saved to your hero. Then, every item that it is picked up, it receives that unique value of the integer saved and gets its custom value changed to the integer value. This way, you can actually create an indexing system with Unique Ids per item that can affect many units at the same time.
