Mendel	i mean there is this artifact class and all these... so is there a way a create a costum class like weapons or armors.. so later i can manage the hero to carry only 1 weapon item 1 armor item ... i have already figaurd out how to able the hero to carry only 1 item of type but than again he can carry like different types of claws of attack and that just not fits :S

darkwulfv	No, the item classifications are static and can't be added or changed. You'd have to trigger the whole thing.

Fledermaus	Depending on how many classes you want, you can probably get away with using the ones already there. Keep in mind the Misc classification doesn't work.

You can use Item Level to tell apart the items. Make same kind of items in the same level, e.g. Weapons Lv2, Shield Lv3, etc.

Create a Boolean-Array-Type variable with 7 sizes (here named Inventory), And use the follwing 2 triggers:

Item Acquire

Trigger:

Events

Unit - A unit Acquires an item

Conditions

Actions

Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

Inventory[(Item level of (Item being manipulated))] Equal to False

Then - Actions

Hero - Drop the item from slot (Item level of (Item being manipulated)) of (Triggering unit)

Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to move (Item being manipulated) to inventory slot (Item level of (Item being manipulated))

Set Inventory[(Item level of (Item being manipulated))] = True

Else - Actions

Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Triggering unit)

Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

Item Lost or Drop

Trigger:

Events

Unit - A unit Loses an item

Conditions

Actions

Set Inventory[(Item level of (Item being manipulated))] = False

Using these triggers your Item Level must start with 2. Maybe becasue of bugs.

Anachron	Why not triggering your item classes? Use the ItemUserData as the others already said, add a classstruct, add an itemarray and add the type of your icon. Then you can have endless classes.
