[Trigger] Special Effects: Adding/Removing/Replacing Attachments

[Craka_J]

I want to try triggering an attachment system for Wc3:WoW, but I cannot even figure out how to add an attachment to the unit and take it away or replace it after I've made another attachment. So lets say my hero aquires a Helm of Kings, I want a helmet model (customly imported of course) to be attached to the hero's head and when item is dropped, it is removed. This is easy to do. But it gets hard and confusing for me once I add another trigger that is activated when another item is aquired. So lets say I've already aquired the helmet, now I've picked up another item: Claws of Attack +6 (Sword attachment to Right Hand) and I want the sword attachment to be removed when Claws of Attack +6 is dropped. But I don't know how to do this because I can only remove "Last Created Attachment"
I know I need variables and probably some other Actions, but not sure which to do or how to do them.
Please help me out here.

You don't need triggers. Just go to the Object Editor and make an ability for each item you want called from sphere, and then set the "Art - Target" to your helmet model and then "Art - Target Attachment Point 1" to the point you want whether that be head, hands, etc.

Ah awesome, that saves ALOT of time. Thanks alot Pyritie
One other question, how do I restrict heroes from carrying two of the same class item? (i.e. Player can have only one shield in inventory)

Look in the FAQ tutorial or something. That question has been asked so many times.

An Easy way to do it is to make all shields an item type, (E.g- Artifact) And make no other items Artifacts.When he gets the item make him drop it and say you can not have two Shields at the same time. I was making a runescape map where all of the items dont really do anything until you use an ability by them which looks like an ability in a spell book that looked like armor. It would be hard but a great add on!

Just easy

For making a system that only allows 1 type of weapon armor gloves shield etc etc... you just need to make 2 simple triggers for every player.

But first you have to set up the item types... for example making all waepons an artifact via object editor.

After that make a variable named DoubleWeapon as an integer array[1]

Then start with the first weapon deny trigger... it looks like this one:

This trigger will let you pick up 1 weapon and after that it sets the created variable to 1.
If he try to equip a second weapon now, then he will drop the newly aquired weapon immediately to the floor and a text will say that he only can wear 1 weapon.

After this one write a second trigger to allow equip a weapon again if he have dropped his first weapon...

thats it already easy hmm ?

but it have 2 little disadvantages:
-The first is you have to create for every player 2 new triggers
-The second is that you only have 6-7 item types you can set for different
kinds of weapons...

Remember to set the variable DoubleWeapons for every player:
Example:
Red: DoubleWeapons[1]
Blue: DoubleWeapons[2]
Teal: DoubleWeapons[3]
Purple: DoubleWeapons[4]
etc...

item way is quicker like pyrite said and you could put the attachment in the armor bonus ability for crown of kings so you dont even have to make a second ability from shere
