Store Bought Spells Trouble

[shift4101]

I need some help with some triggers I need to find out how to buy a item to learn a spell and then destroy the item once the spell is learned. BUT.............

Ok.. there are 3 spells in a store. One is called 1, second one is called 2, and third one is called 3. To learn 1 you need to buy it from store. To learn 2 you need to buy it from store AND ALREADY KNOW 1. to learn 3 you need to buy it from a store AND ALREADY KNOW 2. You cant buy 1 again if you have 2 or 3, and you cant buy 2 if you have 3. and once you know the next abiilty the other ability would be lost. So any help cause I have scanned triggers for days and none seem to work

for the items you could use tomes and try to use researchs to activate spell2 or 3

lol yeah use a tome that has no ability set to him :F or attached to a dummy ability with 0 str/agi/int/lvl/exp gotten
here is something i would do
(wrote it by hand so may have mistakes)

• Learn1
• Events
  • Unit - A unit aquires an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-type of (item being Manipulated)) is Equal to ''1''
  • (Hero Manipulating item) is in ''1Aquired'' is False
• Actions
  • Unit - Learn ''1'' to (Hero Manupulating item)
  • Unit Group - Add (Hero Manipulating item) to ''1Aquired''

• Learn2
• Events
  • Unit - A unit aquires an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-type of (item being Manipulated)) is Equal to ''2''
  • (Hero Manipulating item) is in ''1Aquired'' is True
  • (Hero Manipulating item) is in ''2Aquired'' is False
• Actions
  • Unit - Learn ''2'' to (Hero Manupulating item)
  • Unit - Remove ''1'' to (Hero Manupulating item)
  • Unit Group - Add (Hero Manipulating item) to ''2Aquired''

• Learn3
• Events
  • Unit - A unit aquires an item
• Conditions
  • (Item-type of (item being Manipulated)) is Equal to ''3''
  • (Hero Manipulating item) is in ''2Aquired'' is True
  • (Hero Manipulating item) is in ''3Aquired'' is False
• Actions
  • Unit - Learn ''3'' to (Hero Manupulating item)
  • Unit - Remove ''2'' to (Hero Manupulating item)
  • Unit Group - Add (Hero Manipulating item) to ''3Aquired''

that should be it

wow thanks! But for Learn 1 it should be Unit hasn't acquired 3 or something like that. Thanks!

EDIT: First off.. The units I want learning the spells ARENT heros.. and second off the item wouldn't be destroyed once I got it.

First, Hero manipulating item works perfectly /or use (triggering unit)/
To make the items stay, remove the 'Remove *item* from *unit*' from your trigger et voilà

the better way to do this is just make it so players buy units that spawn by the shop then-

event-unit is created
condition-unit equel to spell 1
action- set spell array 1 = 1
unit add ability (spell 1)

event-unit is created
condition-unit equel to spell 2
-spell array 1 = 1
action- set spell array 2=2
unit add ability (spell 2)

event-unit is created
condition-spell array 1=1
-spell array 2=2
-unit equel to spell 3
Action- Unit add ability (spell 3)

I was lazy and didnt bother using world editor
This requires 1 variable named in this case spell make it an array size 2 of type integer.
