sell item with an ability

[claptomanic]

hey all

i wanna add a spell to my heroes so they can sell items they own directly and without running to shops but i have no idea how to get the gold costs without setting every items gold costs in a hash and calling them from there.

anyone has a way to get the gold costs directly?


thanks in advance

Well, hashtable is the best way to make that part. You'll have to use it. Other thing I can come up with is item levels. By setting level of the item you set it's cost. However, I have a feeling that the maximum level of an item is quite limited.

I just checked out Nestharus' system and based on that idea, created this (does not require JNGP):

function GetItemCost takes item i, string s returns integer
    local integer itemId = GetItemTypeId(i)
    
    call SetPlayerState( Player(14), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD, 1000000 )
    call SetPlayerState( Player(14), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_LUMBER, 1000000 )
    
    call AddItemToStock( udg_dummyItemCost, itemId, 1, 1 )
    call IssueNeutralImmediateOrderById( Player(14), udg_dummyItemCost, itemId )
    call RemoveItemFromStock( udg_dummyItemCost, itemId )
    
    if s == "gold" then
        return 1000000 - GetPlayerState( Player(14), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD )
    elseif s == "lumber" or s == "wood" then
        return 1000000 - GetPlayerState( Player(14), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_LUMBER )
    else
        call BJDebugMsg( "Invalid input: GetItemCost( item, " + s + " )" )
        return 0
    endif
endfunction

It gets the cost of all items you want with the use of a singly dummy.
You can call it like this:

set GoldCost = GetItemCost( item, "gold" )
set WoodCost = GetItemCost( item, "lumber" ) // or set i = GetItemCost( item, "wood" )

Add the script to the header, copy/paste the dummy and you're all set (I hope ).

I heard there's a native JASS functions too about calling it to refer to unit's Gold and Wood cost sadly it requires JNGP AND it does not catch upgrades, unlike Nes', his catch upgrade/morph/etc.
