AtOmIc_PeAnUt	Hihi, what I would like to know is whether it is possible to stop certain unit types from picking up certain item types, e.g. so a warrior can't pick up a spell tome, as a mage can't pick up a huge sword etc... I'm sorry if this is a noobish question

PerfectlyInsane	Trigger: Events Unit - A unit Acquires an item Conditions (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Sword Or - Any (Conditions) are true Conditions (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Mage Actions

AtOmIc_PeAnUt	But would that actually stop the unit picking it up?

Captain Griffen	Add an action to make him drop the item.

This is how i would do it:
Its quite the same

Trigger:

Drop Sword

Events

Unit - A unit Acquires an item

Conditions

(Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Sword

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Mage

Actions

Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Triggering unit)

Game - Display to (All players) for 10.00 seconds the text: (Your class dosent let you use + (Name of (Item being manipulated)))

AtOmIc_PeAnUt	OK, lol, sorry for being a pain, but what about tomes? They dissapear when they are picked up so I couldn't use that action seeing as their will be no item left to drop.

PerfectlyInsane	I left the second part blank because there is alot of ways you can handle it now wont diablo II be silly if your playing as a barb.. and you kill Baal.. and he drops a windforce.. and you can't pick it up becuase your not an amazon

AtOmIc_PeAnUt	No, that's not my point lol. It would seem silly if for example a warrior picked up a tome for a spell he can't learn (because he's a warrior) so the tome just vanishes, i.e. is used automatically with out going into the inventory first, and takes no effect, when it would be much better if he couldn't pick it up in the first place, and it is left there until a mage comes along...

shadow1500	Make the tome not use on pick up, so that the warrior could trade it for money instead.

weaaddar	to disable pickup it's easier to use the order event only because it will stop him in his track... Something like Trigger: Event- Unit Is Issued an Order with a target Condition- Triggering unit is a mage Manipulated item is sword of pwnage+5 Action- Unit-Pause Unit Unit-Issue Unit Order with no target "stop" Unit-Unpause Unit Game Display Text Message "A mage can't use a sword of pwnage+5!"
