why does it not work?

[Lordthom]

first of all, sorry for all those questions
But now, i made a water thingy that you can fill your "empty Vial" when you are in a Region (close to water) and replace it with a "Full Vial" but the trigger i used wont work:

• Water Initalization
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Empty Vial
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (water 1 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)
        • Hero - Create Full Vial and give it to (Triggering unit)
      • Else - Actions
        • Hero - Create Empty Vial and give it to (Triggering unit)

why doesn't work? thx

(water 1 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True

I haven't seen that before;
It should be:

• Set Point1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
• If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (water 1 <gen> contains (Point1)) Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Triggering unit)
    • Item - Remove (Last dropped item)
  • Else - Actions
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

still not working, when i click on the empty Vial, nothing happens

ps. oh, Pharao can you look on the other thread of me if you want?, i posted another question

I haven't seen that before;

It`s unit condition - Unit in region

 

[Lordthom]

but did you found a solution for it?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

I think I know...

The condition "item being manipulated" often bugs with the ability it is using.

Create a special ability for it and change the condition and action to:

Action: Unit starts effect of ability
Condition: Ability being cast = yourItemAbility

 

[johannesr]

Hmm, maybe replace Triggering Unit in the If condition with Hero Manipulating Item

 

[Lordthom]

still not working... maybe start from beginning again?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Have you tried my idea?

If that doesn't work go the long way and remove "x conatains y" and put a:

pick every unit in x and do actions
If(picked = triggering)
..

 

[Lordthom]

i tried your idea but dont understand your long way, can you make a trigger thingy?

Seas =)

I work on a map where I use something like that - this will solve your problem.

 

[Lordthom]

thx! but when i click the empty vial he moves to the second slot... anyway, i shall credit you

ps. what style of map are you making?

 

[Dr. Boom]

Seas =)

Nah the vial isn't moving =) - but the new created vial is created at another itemslot ^^

I create a "escape map"- something different from all other escape maps but still an escape map =D ( good team-map )

 

[Lordthom]

ok, im making a map... well see beneath a great book
