i have a couple questions plz. 1) how do i make it so a hero can only carry only one armor and only one weapon at a time ( i hope its kinda small trigger cuz ive got tons of items needed to be done) 2) to kinda go with the other one is there a way so only specific type of unit can buy certain items? 3)also if a hero has a bow item with sfx (using orbs as a base item) can it make them ranged somehow? 4)my minimap preview thing is all screwed.. i imported a 256x256 tga file and tried every type of bit but its a white screen as a preview! thanks if u can help me with any of these ^_^ |

1. well.. its pretty much a long trigger. Code:
Swords Copy Events Unit - A unit Acquires an item Conditions (Item-class of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Permanent Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions Or - Any (Conditions) are true Conditions HeroClass[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] Equal to 1 Then - Actions For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions) Loop - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Then - Actions Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item) Else - Actions Do nothing Else - Actions Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item) then you have to have item classes. luckily these are there for you. set all of the swords to permanent, armor to charged etc. in this trigger the class 1 corresponds to the permanent item class. 3. thier attack animation wont change but.. some abilities add range dont they? like item attack fire bonus. 4. I dont know much about minimaps sry :\ |

1) You could create two boolean for each player(maybe an array) which is set to true when you buy a weapon(first boolean) or shield(second boolean). Then when you buy another weapon/shield drop the bought item if the boolean1/2 is true. |

yes but if he has multiple units then that would require tons of booleans and as each unit is created it would have to be indexed in the array then refrenced later through a loop which is a real pain. my trigger checks class and multiple items all in one. |

i made this for an rpg i made it works too (however it only works if sword is in slot 1 and armor is in slot 2...) Unit - A unit Acquires an item (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Sword If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Item- type of(item carried by triggering unit in slot 1)) equal to sword Then - Actions item-remove Else - Actions nothing   |

well that requires a whole other trigger to constantly move the sword and shield to slots 1 & 2 |

A way that I came up with to do this a while ago was to set the life of items. For example set all weapons life to 1, and set all armors life to 2. This can be used to check alot more like requirements. This trigger should do the trick. Events Unit - A unit Acquires an item Conditions ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True Actions For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions) Loop - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Integer((Current life of (Item being manipulated)))) Equal to (Integer((Current life of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))))) (Item being manipulated) Not equal to (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A)) Then - Actions Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item) Else - Actions Do nothing |

Since im using a lot of permanent items, is it possible to make heroes use only one lvl 5 permanent item? For instance, all my weapons are lvl 5, and i want the heroes to be able to use weapons and gloves of haste. can you give me the codes for that? |

Usually giving the items different settings for health is the best way to go. As long as you give them all the invulnerable ability you can have an infinite number of categories, and it's still easy to check, no-matter where they put them. |

Sure you can check item level, im just going to add it to the trigger I posted earlier so it only checks the life of lvl 5 items. Code:
Events
Unit - A unit Acquires an item
Conditions
((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Integer((Current life of (Item being manipulated)))) Equal to (Integer((Current life of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A)))))
(Item being manipulated) Not equal to (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))
(Item level of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to 5
(Item level of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to 5
Then - Actions
Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
Else - Actions
Do nothing |
