Wc3 Editor Trigger

Hi guys I was wondering if anybody possibly knows how I could do to make this work. I want to be able to write a chat command that makes a weapon in my inventory turn into another. I tried this:

EVENTS
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
CONDITIONS
((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type weapon2 Equal to True
ACTIONS
Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type weapon2)
Hero - Create weapon1 and give it to (Hero manipulating item)

It looks right to me but when I type the message in-game, nothing happens.

"Hero manipulating item" works if you have events like "Unit gets/loses item". For your event, it does not work.

I think this should be in the World Editor Help Zone. Also, use [trigger]trigger[/trigger] tags.

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
• Conditions
  • ((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type weapon2 Equal to True
• Actions
  • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type weapon2)
  • Hero - Create weapon1 and give it to (Hero manipulating item)

Much better! Now, to the point: there is no (Hero manipulating item) because the event doesnt involve any units (let alone items).

You can do something like this:

• Set Hero = ...

(replace '...' with the hero you want)

Then the problematic trigger would look like this:

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
• Conditions
  • (Hero has an item of type weapon2 Equal to True
• Actions
  • Item - Remove (Item carried by Hero of type weapon2)
  • Hero - Create weapon1 and give it to Hero

If you want 1 hero per player you can to the following:

• Set Heroes[1] = ...
• Set Heroes[2] = ...
• Set Heroes[3] = ...

(replace '...' with the hero you want)

Then the trigger would look like this:

• Events
  • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 3 (Cyan) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 9 (Grey) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
  • Player - Player 12 (Brown) types a chat message containing weapon1 as An exact match
• Conditions
  • (Heroes[Player number of (Triggering player)] has an item of type weapon2 Equal to True
• Actions
  • Item - Remove (Item carried by Heroes[Player number of (Triggering player) of type weapon2)]
  • Hero - Create weapon1 and give it to Heroes[Player number of (Triggering player)]

Thanks man, that worked. I'm not very good at triggers and I just tried changing a recipe trigger into what I thought would work.
