Referring to an item giving unit.

[Eriador]

Hi,

I have a 'shop', that is just there for the looks. It's a unit with an inventory.

If a player clicks on it, the personal 'item forge' of the respective player is selected. On this forge players can combine and upgrade items, and I want everybody to have his own private forge.
That all works fine, but I also want the items given to that dummy to be given to the correct forge.
I have put the forges in an array from 1 - 6, (I got 6 players in my map.)

However, giving an item to the dummy, by any player, just gives the item to the forge of player 1. I think that's because '(Previous owner)' is wrong. However, I just can not find how to refer to the previous owner of an item :s.

How can I make this work?

• ItemPushThrough
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Soulforge Clickable 0037 <gen>
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Integer A) Equal to (Player number of (Previous owner))
          • Then - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Number of items carried by SoulForgeArray[(Integer A)]) Not equal to 3
              • Then - Actions
                • Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to SoulForgeArray[(Integer A)]
              • Else - Actions
                • Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to HeroArray[(Integer A)]
          • Else - Actions

You could use the item's custom value to manually set ownership of the item, because Previous Owner only refers to ownership changed units as far as I know. So for example, an ownership trigger would be like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Loses an item
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Item - Set the custom value of (Item being manipulated) to (Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))

Then you can run a trigger like you had, but you'd be checking for the item's custom value:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
• Conditions
  • (Triggering unit) Equal to Soulforge Clickable 0001 <gen>
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Custom value of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to (Integer A)
        • Then - Actions
          • Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to SoulForgeArray[(Integer A)]
        • Else - Actions

Yeah, that works, thanks for the solution!


I also realized that I was thinking wrong with the integer loop:

• ItemPushThrough
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Soulforge Clickable 0037 <gen>
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of items carried by SoulForgeArray[(Custom value of (Item being manipulated))]) Not equal to 3
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to SoulForgeArray[(Custom value of (Item being manipulated))]
      • Else - Actions
        • Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to HeroArray[(Custom value of (Item being manipulated))]
