Unable to pick while under effect or hold when ability is being casted

[Spoontoobig]

Hey,

Firstly sorry for my epic bad English.
Secondly having problemos with my triggers. I want to make that when hero is under effect of buff he can't pick up item(in my map flag) and when holding a flag he cast a spell the flag is dropped. Everything seems to work, just not with text when u pick random item or just cast spell while not holding a flag TEXT STILL APPEARS.

HERE'S MY EPIC TRIGGERS:

That's because you actually tell the trigger to show the text no matter what.
You need to place the game message within the else-section of the ITE, like this:

• CTF unable to pick
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Forest Titans Flag
        • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Sky Titans Flag
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Stealth ) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Divine Shield) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) has Flag_Alliance) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Drop Flag_Alliance from (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Hero - Drop Flag_Horde from (Triggering unit)
        • Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: |cffFF0000Unable to...

Heh, it works, but now when I try to pick a flag even without buff it drops and writes that text. Wierdo

Oh I see, that's because the trigger is really weird (didn't actually look at it until now D.

1) The conditions in that ITE should be Or - Conditions, and the check for which flag it is shouldn't matter.
2) The Then-section should contain both drop-actions and the text
3) The Else-section shouldn't contain anything.

• CTF unable to pick
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Forest Titans Flag
        • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Sky Titans Flag
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • ((Triggering unit) has buff Stealth ) Equal to True
            • ((Triggering unit) has buff Divine Shield) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Drop Flag_Alliance from (Triggering unit)
        • Hero - Drop Flag_Horde from (Triggering unit)
        • Game - Display to (Player group((Triggering player))) the text: |cffFF0000Unable to...
      • Else - Actions

I think this works.
Yeah, it drops both flags (which is impossible), but if the hero isn't carrying that item, it won't do anything. Seems safe .

(Also: "(Player group((Triggering player)))" leaks (you create a player group), you should take care of that .
