Variable with item Description

[Mufanza]

...Item description through code?
I mean, something like

• Set (String) = Item Description of (item)

Is it possible somehow?

 

[Eleandor]

Nope.

like eleandor said no, but you could trigger items for example, if someone receives an item you show a text, which is the item description and with a command you can see it, or with a multiboard

once you pick up an item scroll over the item in your inventory and it will tell people what the item does from what you type in after you make the item so really no need to trigger it

Doesn't need to be in Triggers, could use JASS also
Schurke: I can do it like you said, but that's a long process :C
b a d: Actually, I am creating a full-screen inventory system, and I need it

Anyway, thank you for reply all

 

[b_a_d]

oh ok then you can do this this will be a long trigger if you have lots of items but you can set a description for each item, you do that in a map int trigger then when a player picks up and item set it to another variable then make it look to see if that item is the same as the first variables you made then pick that one and and show it. if you want to know how it would look just let me know

 

[Mufanza]

Aye, I am saving that as last possible solution, it's too long process, as I said already C:

 

[b_a_d]

ok well im pretty sure thats the only way you can do. unless its like the normal inventory and you can scroll over

I actually checked jass and ignored gui.

The "easiest" way you could do this is:

Create following global variables:
- Itemtypes (which is an item type array)
- Itemdescriptions (which is a string array)

At map initialization, you do this:

• Set Itemtypes[0] = Potion of healing
• Set Itemdescriptions[0] = "Heals a unit for 200 HP"
• Set Itemtypes[1] = Potion of mana
• Set Itemdescriptions[1] = "regenerates mana over time"
• ...
• Set Itemtypes[n] = The last item
• Set Itemdescriptions[n] = The last description

When you need the description of an item, you do this:

• For each Integer A from 0 to n do:
  • Loop - actions
    • If Itemtypes[Integer A] = Item type of (your item) then
      • Use Itemdescriptions[n] as the description
      • Skip remaining actions

n is the amount of items you needed in both triggers.

This is technically what Schurke and b a d said if I understand well (only they didn't write that code as a sample)
What I am trying is to avoid Variabling every item one-by-one


Well, it seems like I have no other choice but do it that way
Anyway, thank you for your time with writting that reply

yes i think you have to do each description in a var, i'm sorry for you^^
