Switching Guns(items)?

[louie999]

How to do this:
when a player uses an ability then the item in that player's unit will be dropped and given to a dummy unit,and an item in the dummy unit's inventory will be dropped and given to the player's unit.
how do i do that help please.

This should be pretty straightforwards. There are basic actions for everything you need. You basically already spelled it out, you just need to find the corresponding actions.

-Unit begins casting an ability or starts the effect of an ability
-Drop item from unit, drop item from dummy
-Give item 2 to unit, give item 1 to dummy

Um is this a correct approach to what i want to do?(ill fix leaks later)

• Next Weapon
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Next Weapon(Q)
  • Actions
    • Set Loc = (Units in (Playable map area))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 6) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Loc and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • And - All (Conditions) are true
                  • Conditions
                    • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Inventory Handler
                    • (Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Owner of (Casting unit))
              • Then - Actions
                • Hero - Drop the item from slot 1 of (Picked unit)
                • Hero - Give (Last dropped item) to (Casting unit)
              • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

make 2 variables "Dummy_Item" and "Unit_Item" and set those variables before you switch both items.

do it in this order:
Set Unit_Item = item in slot 1 of unit
Set Dummy_Item = item in slot 1 of caster
Drop Unit_Item
Drop Dummy_Item
Give Unit_Item to caster
Give Dummy_Item to unit.

If you do not do that, items will be given in the 2nd slot and the next switch weapon will not work.
Next to that, it should work fine... i guess

                • Hero - Drop DummyItem1 from (Picked unit)
                • Hero - Give DummyItem1 to (Casting unit)
                • Hero - Give UnitItem1 to (Picked unit)
              • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

Is this OK now?

You set the item variable wrong.
You must save the variable inside the loop just above drop item.
You refer to picked unit and there is no picked unit at that moment.
Next to that... it should work fine.
