Random Drop SetUp Question

[C.B.King]

ok so this is just a test for future references, but iu like idea of drops same item but randomize the stats it has.

i got it set up like this to test atm, the description and tooltip change, however the name doesn't and it doesn't add the ability to the item like it meant to

• DropItem
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Peasant
    • (Owner of (Dying unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
  • Actions
    • Item - Create Claws at (Position of (Dying unit))
    • Set VariableSet TheDrop = (Last created item)
    • Wait 0.10 seconds
    • Item - Set Name of TheDrop to ((Name of TheDrop) + ( - |cffff8080Level|r: + (String((Hero level of (Killing unit))))))
    • Set VariableSet SetInt[1] = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
    • Set VariableSet SetInt[2] = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
    • Set VariableSet SetInt[3] = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
    • -------- Armor --------

        • Set VariableSet IDropString[1] = |cff808080Armor|r: +1|n

    • Set VariableSet IDropDescription = (IDropString[0] + (IDropString[1] + (IDropString[2] + IDropString[3])))
    • Item - Set Name of TheDrop to ((Name of TheDrop) + ( - |cffff8080Level|r: + (String((Hero level of (Killing unit))))))
    • Item - Set Description of TheDrop to IDropDescription
    • Item - Set Extended Tooltip of TheDrop to IDropDescription

in end after ig et it working, it gonna depend on ur level when u kill the enemy, then it will roll between a dif set of items, per level, so higher level u are the more stats it gives.

ATM trying to figure out how tog et it to add the ability and change item name

then i will go make the full system on my map.

and Of Cos ScreenShot, and Test Map.

These functions are all pretty buggy and tend to not work properly if at all.

Set Item Name/Item Icon no longer working on latest patch

These two Actions no longer work: Item - Set Icon Path of (Last created item) to Item - Set Name of (Last created item) to They were working in patch 1.31.

I'd recommend a Custom UI system, Tasyen has you covered for just about anything you need:

Then you can use a stat system like this to easily add stat bonuses to your Items:

New Bonus [vJASS][LUA]

Intro Hello, this is my first submission in the spell section, so apologies in advance for any mistake. I present to you the New Bonus System. Since Object Merger stopped working and we still have no ways to edit the bonus values of a unit natively, I decided to create this light weight system...

With custom UI you gain far more control and can do things well beyond the GUI limitations. You could make an item system straight out of Diablo 2 if you wanted.

Also, and you probably already know this:

• Wait 0.10 seconds

This Wait will break your trigger if two or more items spawn within ~0.25 seconds of one another. You're also leaking a Point.

i am unsure how a custom ui would change items stats, and the drop system, well to me didnt make sense, but ty for reply

reason for 0.10 wait as if u dont have a wait it doesnt update the strings which is odd

The idea is that you can create anything you want with custom UI. You could have a 1000 slot inventory if you really wanted to. It's not a simple task but it's honestly not that difficult either.

You can fix the trigger issues I described by using a local variable and point variable:

• Actions
  • Custom script: local item udg_TheDrop
  • Set Variable ItemPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
  • Item - Create Claws at ItemPoint
  • Set VariableSet TheDrop = (Last created item)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ItemPoint)

This will store TheDrop in a hybrid local/global variable, which means that for the remainder of the trigger it's value cannot get changed from an outside source. The only downside of this method is that you can't reference TheDrop inside of the Conditions block of an If Then Else statement. Luckily, your trigger doesn't do that anywhere so it's fine.

You could also Hide the Item immediately after it's created and then Unhide it once the Wait is over if you don't want the players to see it until it's finished updating.
