k i have 2 questions:

1.When I Build a Shop containing TOME Items, and buy the tomes in the shop. I get a little floating Book where my character was, stuck on the ground. Does anyone know what this is caused by or how to fix it?

2.I made an STR/AGI/INT +1 tome and ability, and it doesnt increase my heros stats at all, how should i fix this? Change it too a trigger?

1. Since some patch, tomes no longer get removed but killed when picked up. You can revive them to reuse them or remove them manually.

2. Well, I have no idea what you made wrong but there is already a +1 strength, a +1 agility, a +1 intelligent and a +all stats tome. Surely, you can also do it via trigger.

blizzards fault
didn't notice this until a few months ago though (probably caused by some patch)
the scroll of town portal at dota leaves a tiny version of itself behind as well

gonna try to find some way to remove it and will edit it in here later

edit:
this works
  • RemoveBugEffect
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    • Conditions
      • ((Item being manipulated) is A powerup) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)
note that this also removes the effect on pickup: Objects\Spawnmodels\Other\ToonBoom\ToonBoom.mdl
you can trigger it to be shown at the position of item being manipulated but I don't like the effect anyway
effect on hero is still shown and hero gets stat bonus

and apparently waterknight was faster x)
