I can't get this stupid trigger to work.

Event: Unit - Paladin 0001 <gen> Uses an item

Condition: (Item being manipulated) Equal to (Item carried by Paladin 0001 <gen> of type Staff of Negation)

Action: The action doesnt really matter. I just want the event and condition to work

I've tried taking out the condition and it still doesnt work so I have no clue what is wrong emote_confused

Use just Item type of (item beign manipulated) Equal to (item u want). You dont need to make item carried by Paladin cause it already is made in Event (i guess hero just cant use item that is carried by someone else :ggani: )

NO I GOT IT!

if the item is a tome, then the even with be:
Unit - Paladin 0001 <gen> Acquires an item
because now, the tomes are used right wen they are acquired.

but if it is not a tome, the make it:
Unit - Paladin 0001 <gen> Uses an item

its a bug with the function.
Non perishable permanent charged items do not trigger the event of uses item.

well thats obvious, cuz u never use them, u only acquire them. thats why u would use wen a unit Acquires an Item. but im assuming that his items that he is using are perishable.

I am using a staff of negation, so I'll just have to change it to see if it works. And I thought when an item gets clicked on the effect is set off it would be used, not when the item is gone :( Thanks

or it could be this..
Unit - Paladin 0001 <gen>

is the hero a set unit... meaning... is that hero that u picked already on the map? or does it create after u pick him or create after the map starts?
