Unique Item

I am making this CTF map and I want a Hero to be able to only carry one flag at a time. And the thing is, I want the trigger to go off and stop the unit before he picks it up.

I have a variable that keeps track of whose flag the unit is carrying.
If I pick up another teams flag this would mean I would overwrite the previous flag with the new flags value, and this would f- the game up.

So in short, I need a solution to how to get a hero to NOT pick up an item it has selected to pick up. Without the event "A unit aquires an item".

PhoenixFeather	Trigger: Untitled Trigger 001 Events Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object Conditions (Target item of issued order) Equal to Flag ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Flag) Equal to True Actions Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop Is this of any use?

I just tried that, and it doesn't stop my unit.

It shows the text, but doesn't stop the unit.

Trigger:

One Flag Rule

Events

Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object

Conditions

((Triggering unit) has an item of type CTF Flag) Equal to True

(Item-type of (Target item of issued order)) Equal to CTF Flag

Actions

Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Ordered unit)))) the text: |cffff0000Error!|r ...

I've tried using both Triggering Unit and Ordered Unit and neither works, the Hero keeps moving towards it and picks it up.

Siphonized	Nvm, I'm a fuckup.

Siphonized	Humm, it only works if I use a Wait before the entire trigger... Very odd.

Siphonized	Pause did the trick, but I can't use text output in the same trigger.

Captain Griffen	Why not? Just pause the unit, order it, unpause the unit. Has no effect on text output.

Siphonized	Just doesn't work. It spams the text output like a billion times if I try it.
