[Trigger] Item in slot 1 changes attack range?

[Impereal Gardian]

Alright, simple enough right? Its simple and easy to do for other people, but not me. What i need is when (for example) Pistol is in slot 1, it changes the (Unit Survivor) range to 400, but i don't know a lot much. IF you can, try not to use variables. Also there are 4 different survivors so its 4 players.

I'll give credits for anyone who helps.
Thanks

I'm afraid this can be complicated to do for you.

In order to change an unit's range back and forth you should use a morphing spell (like metamorphosis) so you can change between a low range hero and a high range hero.

In order to make this work on item change and not being castable by the player you should hide the ability in a disabled spellbook. Then trigger the ability when a unit picks up the pistol.

Good luck

Lol ill see what i can do (may have to change some triggers around a bit so it doesnt select any specific unit)

 

[mckill2009]

see my Transformation System, it can do much more than you want...

 

[Impereal Gardian]

ill try it in a few to see if it can work with multiple items on specific units. and thanks to you to both your a lot of help

still messing around :3. will update later tonight if i get anything. 1 question tho: when i do what the steps say, then i import to my map, it askes for a "thing" (kinda like E.xample= Item=0, ) it gets an error??? what do i have to change?

 

[mckill2009]

have you imported the required libraries?
- RegisterPlayerUnitEvent by Magtheridon96
- SimError by Vexorian
and JassNewGenPack?...if yes then kindly post a picture of what the error is or pass the map to me...

 

[Impereal Gardian]

As you know I'm obviously new to this.
I will try and import everythig... But what is this
"jassnewgenpack" that everyone talked abut.
What does it do exactly??

I don't have it downloaded BTW.

cant u just use the night elf range upgrade? whenever a unit acquires an item u set the research lvl for the upgrade to the right lvl for that player...

 

[Impereal Gardian]

Holy crap bro I actually never even thought of that
I'll try and edit it later. Everyone who posted above will
Get credits on my map btw.

Can you have A trigger that makes you forget a reserch? I for got if you could lol

 

[helekiller]

yea just use the same action to set the research level to 0...
hope this works for you ^^

 

[Impereal Gardian]

Player - Set the current research level of M1911 to 0 for Player 1 (Red)
is this the trigger? if so i have no clue what to do with it :3
but so far this is what i got

M1911R
Events
Unit - A unit Acquires an item

Condition
(Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 1)) Equal to M1911

Player - Set the current research level of M1911 to 0 for Player 1 (Red)

 

[mckill2009]

I dont think research can do that coz research affects all units and cant revert back to
its normal state...

 

[helekiller]

if he aquires the item u should set the research lvl to 1 (or w/e lvl u need), if he loses the item again set research lvl to 0 so its back to the old state. Also make sure the upgrade works on your survivor. i think this is what you want...

• trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    • Unit - A unit Loses an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 1)) Equal to your pistol
      • Then - Actions
        • Player - Set the current research level of your upgrade to 1 for (Owner of (Triggering unit))
      • Else - Actions
        • Player - Set the current research level of your upgrade to 0 for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

 

[mckill2009]

if he loses the item again set research lvl to 0 so its back to the old state

No it wont work...plus the tooltip say that Tech cannot be unlearned through the use of this action ...

 

[helekiller]

oh right.... didnt know that

 

[Impereal Gardian]

mckill2009 where it says attached files test range, is that the explanation why it doesnt work or is it the way to make it work? (im on a difforent laptop so ill dl later)

I dowloaded. i see the problem. Ill try and do the Transformations again.

Ps. - "You must register first before using" this was in the how to use. what it mean? (and why do u make it special coding, it makes it hard to do?)

 

[Impereal Gardian]

What??? this trigger doesnt work?

Unit - A unit Acquires an item

(Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Mystery Box)) Equal to Mystery Box

Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Mystery Box)
Item - Create (Random level 8 Charged item-type) at (Center of Myster Box <gen>)

What happens is it creates the same items in the same order EVERY time i buy the Mystery Box item? what am i doing wrong? it should be random..
