Hero Inventory System

So, basically I took "Mapz_Maker's Multiboard-based Menu System" and changed it so it turns into a hero's inventory.

As in, you pick up a pair of gloves it goes into the gloves slot and if you remove it it changes back to <empty>:




Ok. So now that we have this system establish it gets a lil bit more complicated...

In my RPG you can only have 1 of any type of armor/weapon/shield etc. In my map I have all of the items in the above pic + more in my map and seeing as you can only carry at any given time 6 items it really makes the game limited. Especially when u add in potions/quest items/rings etc.

What I could do is make it so lets say hero picks up gloves X and gloves slot = empty.
Then move gloves to X region and add all item abilities to Hero...

I really, really, REALLY do not wanna do it this way because by doing this I would have to go in a make a trigger for acquires AND loses an item for over 200 sum items that I have in my map...

The question: Can this be done a more efficient way?

No one knows a better way?

Are you willing to work with Jass code? This is ridiculously easy with a bit of Jass/vJass.

I got no problem with that if you help me?

How do we do it!?

BTW I already have a system that uses both item classifications as well as custom values...

My idea:

A unit has an equipment inventory and a main inventory. It has an ability on the command card to switch between them. When an equipment item is acquired, it automatically goes to the equipment inventory, unless the player is wearing an item of that type; then it goes to the main inventory. Players can click on equipment items to send them to the other inventory (replaces equipped items if sending to the equipment inventory).

As for when I can do it, im not to sure. Starting classes tomorrow and work most days im not in school. I'm also currently writing my own systems for my map, so it would have to be when I get bored of doing that.

Also, if possible, can you give me a demo of what you are using the custom values for?

Ok. I like that idea. Although, I don't know where we would put that command card due to all slots on spells are full.. It might have to be an item in hero's inventory? Like bottom right corner or something... I also have no idea even how to make something like this work with 2 separate heroes...

As for the demo, here is the trigger I use for only being able to use 1 item and I have a custom enchanting of weapons on my map, and is included below as well. The enchanting is what uses the custom values. We could always take a higher # of custom values and go from there, if possible, like 50-200 etc.
