Item Recipe System Recap

Hi, this is for all those people looking for an EASY GUI Recipe system.

Seems that people have gotten complicated with this simple system and are making a lot more trouble for themselves.

Here is the system:

Code:

Item Recipe System
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
    Actions
FIRST LOOP -->  For each (Integer recipe_integer[0]) 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 (Triggering unit) in slot recipe_integer[0])) Equal to Dust of Appearance
                    Then - Actions
SECOND LOOP (NESTED) -->  For each (Integer recipe_integer[1]) 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 (Triggering unit) in slot recipe_integer[1])) Equal to Minor Replenishment Potion
                                        recipe_integer[1] Not equal to recipe_integer[0]
                                    Then - Actions
THIRD LOOP (NESTED) -------------->      For each (Integer recipe_integer[2]) 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 (Triggering unit) in slot recipe_integer[2])) Equal to Potion of Speed
                                                        recipe_integer[2] Not equal to recipe_integer[0]
                                                        recipe_integer[2] Not equal to recipe_integer[1]
                                                    Then - Actions
                                                        Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot recipe_integer[0])
                                                        Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot recipe_integer[1])
                                                        Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot recipe_integer[2])
                                                        Hero - Create Ring of the Archmagi and give it to (Triggering unit)
                                                        Skip remaining actions  
                                                              Else - Actions
                                                                    Do nothing
                                    Else - Actions
                                        Do nothing
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing

This sytem is to combine 3 items. If you want to combine 2 items just REMOVE the "recipe_integer[2]" NESTED LOOP.

If you want to combine 4 or more items, simply ADD ANOTHER NESTED LOOP.

The ONLY thing that might confuse new people is the recipe_integer[x] variable. I USED AN ARRAY. recipe_integer[0] and recipe_integer[1] are 2 DIFFERENT VARIABLES. Instead of saying 2 variables of recipe_integer1 and recipe_integer2 I simply used an array to make things faster. You COULD however, do the recipe_integer1 variable if you wanted to. Just remember, I'm using 3 DIFFERENT VARIABLES HERE.

Basically the system runs like this:

first loop:
integer[0] checks all 6 slots (from 1 to 6 right?) for the first item of your recipe

second NESTED (like INSIDE a birds nest?) loop:
integer[1] checks all 6 slots AGAIN for the second item of your recipe
THEN MAKES SURE IT'S NOT THE SAME AS integer[0] U FOLLOW ME??

third NESTED (little birdy) loop:
integer[2] checks all 6 slots AGAIN for the third item of your recipe
THEN MAKES SURE IT'S NOT THE SAME AS integer[0] OR integer[1] GOT IT?

DONE....

Now a lot of people have been adding crap to this sytem, tweaking it, etc... But SERIOUSLY, what can u expect to define in a system like this? You need to define the 3 ITEMS for the recipe and the 1 item for the CRAFTED ITEM. So nomatter HOW you do this, you will have to define 4 Variables.

WITH THIS SYSTEM, YOU SIMPLY COPY + PASTE IT AS MANY RECIPES AS YOU NEED AND JUST HAVE THEM ALL RUN WHEN A UNIT AQUIRES ITEM. Simple.

For all you going to comment, QUIET PLZ :D Unless it's a good comment :P

Guest	Ohh, why didn't u submit this in the submission forum? =D

Anitarf	Because it already is there... I have another question, why didn't you use the [code] tags? And you should put a "skip remaining actions" function after you create the item.

volatile	Another question? Anitarf you need to ask a question for the next one to be considered "another" one :D j/p

Well, it was another one, because Hunter Destruction had already asked a question before that.

By the way, copy+pasting is really really realy bad way of programming...

Copy and pasting what? You're totally losing me here Anitarf. I almost think you're trying to insult me in some subtle way, let me remind you that this thread is meant for people who want a "SIMPLE" way to add an item recipe system into their map because of you guys adding too much "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooooo" to the other threads to make finding a solution easy for the beginner. This thread is the end all of end alls when it comes to item combination for beginners, and I think it accomplishes exactly what it needs to.

I don't think any more discussion needs to be done in this thread thank you :D
