Unique item groups

[Erkki2]

Hello! I'd like to create "unique item groups" and I'm wondering what would be a good data structure for it. The idea is that a unit can only hold one item per group. There can be any number of groups, and an item can belong to multiple groups. So somehow I should map from item type to multiple integers (group number).

i'd recommend you to use a hashtable there which saves a boolean value.
each line is for a specific item type and each column of that line is a group. if the item has to be in the group, just save TRUE in there, else FALSE (or leave it as default)

Thanks, I think a hashtable would be the easiest solution.

i dont got, item could part of multiple group ?
why? i would understand if every item part of 1 item group but multiple group

item - item variable
ID = integer variable
GroupId = integer variable, if u want sort like group1,2 etc then GroupId = 1 or 2 etc
Hash_Table = hashtable variable
A = integer - so u can list it

• Set Item = (Picked item)
• Custom script: set udg_ID = GetItemTypeId(udg_Item)
• Hashtable - Save ID as A of GroupId in Hash_Table

or if it is item type directly then

• Set Item_Type = Tome of Experience
• Custom script: set udg_ID = udg_Item_Type
• Hashtable - Save ID as A of GroupId in Hash_Table

example u save 3 item id to group 1, and 3 to group 2

• -------- this group 1 --------
• -------- items: 'pmna' = pendant of mana, 'ciri' = robe of magi +6, 'stel' = staff of teleportation --------
• -------- u get these raw code in object editor if raw code is checked in --------
• Custom script: set udg_ID = 'pmna'
• Hashtable - Save ID as 1 of 1 in (Last created hashtable)
• Custom script: set udg_ID = 'ciri'
• Hashtable - Save ID as 2 of 1 in (Last created hashtable)
• Custom script: set udg_ID = 'stel'
• Hashtable - Save ID as 3 of 1 in (Last created hashtable)
• -------- if you want u can save how much item (3) is in group 1 to 0 --------
• Hashtable - Save 3 as 0 of 1 in (Last created hashtable)
• -------- this group 1 --------
• -------- items: 'pmna' = pendant of mana, 'rwiz' = sobi mask, 'ssil' = staff of silence, 'penr' = pendant of energy --------
• Custom script: set udg_ID = 'rwiz'
• Hashtable - Save ID as 1 of 2 in (Last created hashtable)
• Custom script: set udg_ID = 'pmna'
• Hashtable - Save ID as 2 of 2 in (Last created hashtable)
• Custom script: set udg_ID = 'ssil'
• Hashtable - Save ID as 3 of 2 in (Last created hashtable)
• Custom script: set udg_ID = 'penr'
• Hashtable - Save ID as 4 of 2 in (Last created hashtable)
• -------- if you want u can save how much item (4) is in group 2 to 0 --------
• Hashtable - Save 4 as 0 of 2 in (Last created hashtable)

also if u want then save invers, instead of group number u can save the item raw code, then number (1-x) and saved value the group number, to 0 position save how much group contain this item like

• -------- set ID = raw code -------
• -------- we save group 1 to 1st position --------
• Hashtable - Save 1 as 1 of ID in (Last created hashtable)
• -------- we save group 4 to 2nd position --------
• Hashtable - Save 4 as 2 of ID in (Last created hashtable)
• -------- we save group 10 to 3rd position --------
• Hashtable - Save 10 as 3 of ID in (Last created hashtable)
• -------- we save how much group was assigned to id to 0th position --------
• Hashtable - Save 3 as 0 of ID in (Last created hashtable)

You can just check in condition if a unit has any of your "unique" items and if it does, remove the item bought instead.

Thanks all, I did it using a boolean hashtable and it's working fine.
