Silence items? {using Silence to prevent heroes from using items}

[darkrider]

well... couldnt find anything in gameplay constants neither searching in the forum so i ask here this question... how can i make so that silences can affect item abilities (while carring the item of course)

i wan to prevent heroes to use items while silenced... any idea?

maybe change targets allowed to item

maybe change targets allowed to item

Why I think, that that wont work.

There's undoubtedly a way to trigger it manually.

if i change its target type to item... i must target an item to silence it ... it wont silence the item inside the inventory... isnt there any other way inspite of :

(casting unit) has buff == to (silence (and any kind of other silences) == to true

then order casting unit to stop?...

isnt there any gameplay cosntant or object editor way to do it?

well use the silence action for the item i mean make a custom one and edit it

ive looked up for silences in my map there are 4 options in there...

Data - Attacks prevented
melee
ranged
special
spells

those are for options to tick... spells is checked... but there are no items to select... would it be special?

EDIT: nop... it is not special :/

hmm, replace the item that you want to get silenced with same item that not have any ability? and make that item undroppable.

after a few second, replace back again your item.

maybe you must recheck every 0.x second to detect unit get silenced...

Unit uses Item
Has buff Silence (or is there booleon for "unit is silenced"?)
Stop unit
