Combining 7 items

In my map I have 7 items I want to combine. So when you have 6 and pick up the final necessary item you get a different item back. So can anyone help me on how to do it ?

^^that thread (which actually isn't far down the list) is about the same thing combining items, so try that thread first :8

Actually, this is different. I have never experimented with this possibility before, so I can't give you a solution out of the top of my head. My item combination system can handle 6 items max, because it only deals with items in the inventory. Adding an outside item to the calculation would require detecting orders for picking up items and merging the items right before the player would get the "inventory full" message, which would be either directly after the order event if the item is close enough or just before the hero comes into pickup range of the item.

I just thought of this, so I think your gonna have to try and see if it works.
Maybe you could:

1. Get 6 items.

2. Force your hero to DROP(yes... drop) and destory one of the items w/ triggers.

3. Get rid of what's in the inventory.

4. Put in the 7th item with triggers.

Oh yeah, and make sure that it requires that you have all 6 items. Let the dropping happen after.

Wait... did you mean combining 6 items to make a 7th, or 7 items to make an 8th?

why not have 2 intermediate items? for example, for sword of kick ass you need:
Mithril
Steel
Ruby
Bracer of Speed
Bracer of Strength
Bracer of Wisdom
Sharpening stone

Gettin the 3 bracer and the steel would give you a handle, and the other 3 would give you the blade, and combining them would give you the sword. It Might be a bit cumbersome, and you would need extra items/icons, but it would be (IMO) the easiest thing to do

I mean combining 7 items to make an 8th but I tried it myself and the last item just wont pick up. I know how to combine items but I dont know how to make the 7th item be picked up by the hero without the game saying "inventory is full".

Well In case you will always find them in the same order, you can make the last one a tome, so when the unit acquires it you check if the other items are complete.

OR you can make 2 versions of each item, and make it so when they are in the ground they are ground, you pick them and it creates the non tome version, you lose them they become the tome version again.

Or you can make 3 items that are the combination of 2 items of the group, so when you have those 3 and the last one they become the final one.
