tome of inteligence +2

[varonion]

I was just testing my map out and tried to pick up a unedited tome of inteligence +2 with an custom made model it gave me an error and threw me out of warcraft 3 i figured it has something to do with the unit not being able to use the tome but still trying to pick it up?

if thats the case how do i prevent the unit from trying to pick it up even if u click on it?

Normal units cannot pick up tomes, only heroes. In order to override this, do this:

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order targeting an object
• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) is a Hero) Equal to False
  • (Item-type of (Target item of issued order)) Equal to Tome of Intelligence +2
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Position of (Target item of issued order))
  • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move to Point1
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Well i want the trigger so that normal units cannot pick up the tomes and all xD, iam modding this map and i think it has been deleted.

This is what my trigger does.

This is what my trigger does.

So i need to make a trigger for each item that can drop on my map?

Create one long 'or' condition or use JASS.

EDIT: And always you can use

• (Item-class of (Target item of issued order)) Not Equal to PowerUp

Setting up a condition by class will do much better. GUI is relatively slow; if you make the trigger run too slowly, you risk making it not run fast enough to stop the unit before it picks up the tome.

you can put tomes at one class like power up,so if unit wants to pick up power up tome,dont allow him,

you can also set life value or level value of tome to some number that no other item has and make condition from that


and i think for stopping unit when issued an order you can also

pause unit
unpause unit
order unit to stop

however this sometimes does not work but it works more times than moving unit to point

Well shoot and i thought iam getting the hang of WE but your all talking in terms i dont understand lol.

The reason for this is that its gonna be an online map and i dont want people to be thrown out because they pick some tomes up with the wrong units, it only does this with tomes that add statts to your unit so with items it hasnt any problems (mainly because many units have given the backpack ability).

so whats the best and easiest solution?

many thanks already and + rep to all that are trying to help me .

    • Unit - Unpause (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
    • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) the text: Unable to use ...
