trigger for item

[DexterFstone]

hi
I need a trigger for an item when a player tries to pick, the hero stops and gets a massage "u can't pick this item" (not pick and check by if, then drop again)
how to do that?

    • (Item-type of (Target item of issued order)) Equal to Mask of Death
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop.
    • Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: You can not pick up...

should be as simple as this. when you issue a new order it replaces the previous order. so this will happen when the player clicks on it. If you do want the hero to walk to the item and try picking it up (and only then play the error message) then you want to let the hero pick it up and drop it instantly with a trigger (for the player it will just seem like they can't pick it up).

but it is working perfectly.

strange indeed. glad you got it to work.

I've found that the "Stop" order method doesn't always work and depends on the situation. For example this same issue happens if you try to interrupt a Worker's order to build a structure.

I imagine it has something to do with the execution of the orders. The unit must be getting ordered to "Stop" BEFORE the order to pick up the item happens, despite the fact that you're issuing the "stop" after the pick up order has already been made. That or the "Stop" order is completely ignored for some strange reason.

Anyway, if "stop" doesn't work and pause/stop/unpause doesn't work then I found you can order the unit "move" to a point offset by a very small distance like 0.01, this seems to take precedence.
