Prohibition of purchase of items

[Wing-Span]

When buying an experience book for a unit that has a hero slot, the game crashes. How to avoid this? How to track the purchase of an item before using it?

Or how to prohibit a shop from selling items to units but not heroes? I tried to set allowed targets for "select hero", but it didn't work.

I think the ideal solution is to trigger things yourself:

• Custom Tome of Experience
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Tome of Experience NEW
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Hero - Add 100 experience to (Triggering unit), Show level-up graphics

So you copy and paste an existing Tome (Item), change it's Ability to something that doesn't crash the game - I used "Item Permanent Life Gain" with the bonus set to 0 since all Units in the game have Life, and trigger the effects yourself.

Now you're in full control of what happens when the Tome is consumed. You can create your own effects with this as well, ie: Adding bonus experience to an underleveled hero or scaling the experience gain based on the hero level. You could even have an alternate effect if the unit isn't a Hero, making the tome useful to everyone.

Crashing happens because you buy an item that gives attrihutes for a hero but the buying unit is not a hero

how to prohibit a shop from selling items to units but not heroes

1.the shop can have the ability [select hero] or [select unit]
2. If a unit does not have [inventory] ability then it cannot buy

if you want the unit to carry the item but not use it then it must have [unit inventory] ability not [hero inventory]

You are right as always))

Alas, my unit is like a bear in Dota. Heroic slots.

The unit must be both hero and have hero inventory. Is it a hero?

Yes, items should give him protection, regeneration, etc. But at the same time he should not have the ability to receive exp, otherwise he will share it with the hero, which is not good.In short, the issue has already been resolved - triggered gaining of exp.

So you were looking to disable specific hero to gain experience from items (and probably kills). I misunderstood your post.
