Item dropped to region triggers actions

Trickster	I need certain actions to happen when item is dropped from inventory to a region. Sort of like planting a seed, and it starts to grow. But I can't find an Event that would fit this situation. Help, anyone?

Mezzer	Well, just combine the "Unit drops an item" event with checking if the item is in the right region.

Eah. Only found a Unit loses an item... Here's what I tried, didn't work tho.

Trigger:

Weed grows

Events

Unit - A unit Loses an item

Conditions

(Item-type of (Last dropped item)) Equal to Seed

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

((Last dropped item) is in Rect 000 <gen>) Equal to True

Then - Actions

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Last dropped item)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\Thunderclap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl

Else - Actions

Do nothing

(making a special effect on the spot just for the test, when I get it to work it'll be something else.)

Am I on the right tracks?

Mystic Prophet	This should work. Trigger: item stuff Events Unit - A unit Loses an item Conditions (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Claws of Attack +15 (Region 000 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True Actions Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of Region 000 <gen>) using Abilities\Spells\Items\TomeOfRetraining\TomeOfRetrainingCaster.mdl

Trickster	Indeed, that did work. I used position of item being manipulated instead of the center of the region when placinbg the special effect... Ran into a funny problem, the effect goes to a random spot nearby, not the position of the dropped item. Edit: ahh, I see. It picks the position where the item was before being picked up. any way around this?
