[General] Weapon Counter Triggering

[SnowYell]

What is this trigger missing?

I followed a turtorial showing me how to make an IDS.
Now this one is based on the item level in object editor.
Let's say all two-handed weapons are level 1.
Main hands are level 2.
And off-hands are level 3.

The main idea here is that you cannot use 2 two-handed weapons. Nor can you use two main hands or two off-hands at the same time. But you may be able to use 1 main hand and 1 off hand together.

But the trigger i was instructed does not seem to work.
What am I missing?

• IDS
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set ItemCounter_Limiter = 0
    • Set ItemCounter_Level = (Item level of (Item being manipulated))
    • Set ItemCounter_PickUpUnit = (Triggering unit)
    • Set ItemCounter_Inventory = (Size of inventory for ItemCounter_PickUpUnit)
    • For each (Integer ItemCounter_Loop) from 1 to ItemCounter_Inventory, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item level of (Item carried by ItemCounter_PickUpUnit in slot ItemCounter_Loop)) Equal to ItemCounter_Level
          • Then - Actions
            • Set ItemCounter_Level = (ItemCounter_Limiter + 1)
          • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ItemCounter_Limiter Greater than 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from ItemCounter_PickUpUnit
        • Game - Display to (All players controlled by a ((Owner of (Triggering unit)) controller) player) the text: You are fat.
      • Else - Actions
    • Set ItemCounter_PickUpUnit = No unit

Thanks to the previous comments for the assistance.

Why not simply using this: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/ids-infinite-number-item-classes-162448/

It already does everything you want to achieve + a very detailed explanation what is going on.

You made it so complicated whereas it needs simple triggering.
Basically there are many ways to do this.

Here is my only-one-lonely trigger that can achieve this, I will use booleans (Note that I made this so fast, I didn't revise it):
You can also add the OffHand Boolean and Armor Booleans ...etc
NOTE 2.432 !!! : THIS IS NOT MUI, IT'S MPI, I just assumed you are building an ORPG or something , representing one hero per player...
