Eriond	How do I cause a trigger to fire whenever a unit buys an item?

Axiverse	there are events - unit - specific unit event and unit - player conrtolled event that triggers when unit aquires an item or unit sells an item and much more

Eriond	I know that, but I want to make it so when the unit buys the item, not when he picks it up (A.K.A. Aquiring, because that applies to any method of aquiring)

The event your looking for is a UNIT action...

Code:

Item Purchase
    Events
        Unit - BlahBlah 0000 <gen> Sells an item
    Conditions
        (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to ItemBlah
    Actions
        Blah Blah Blah

The above is a "Unit - Specific unit" event...

The below is a "Unit - Generic unit" event...

Code:

Item Purchase
    Events
        Unit - A unit Sells an item
    Conditions
        (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to ItemBlah
    Actions
        Blah Blah Blah

You can even do a codition "(Owner of (Buying unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)" which would make the trigger only fire if player 1 was doing the buying..

Eriond	Right.... Now I see it... when it said: Unit Sells an Item I thought it meant when you sell it for gold, not when the shop sells it to another unit... thanks, you've really helped me.

AllPainful	Glad to be of assistance.. And I can definatly see how it could be mistaken for units selling items for gold... As a matter of fact, you sparked my interest... I KNOW the trigger fires when someone buys and item... but would it also fire is someone sold an item for gold? Hmmm.... I wonder...
