Detect when Item Drops Then...

11-03-2006, 01:16 AM	#1
Ignitedstar	I'm trying to create a trigger that detects when a certain item is dropped from ANY hero that is carrying the item. Then, it'll reduce the level of a certain ability acquired by the hero. However, I have NO idea how the heck I could do the conditions. Any help?

[VDM]Amn	Trigger: Events Unit - A unit loses an item Conditions Item being manipulated equal to [your_item] Actions set level of [your_ability] for triggering unit to [level of [your_ability] - 1] if that doesn't work, try the following event. Trigger: Events Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point Conditions Issued order equal to (string("itemdrop")) something like that. good luck.

The_AwaKening	Be a little more specific on the ability. Is it an ability that the item initially adds or raises; or is it just a normal hero ability? Are you ok using JASS, or do you need GUI?

Ignitedstar	It's an ability that the item raises. The ability starts at first with the hero. And I don't really mind if it is in JASS. So long as it can be understood.

Mystic Prophet	heh, hey ignited. didn't feel like asking me? Amn's trigger (first one) should work just fine.

This one is wrong. If you ordered the unit to drop the item at a far away place, this trigger will trigger before the unit runs there. A worse situation is that the unit was issued itemdrop and then immediately issued stop - then the level will decrease with the item on the hero ^^

However, the first one seems to work quite well, at least to me. ;-)

Ignitedstar	Whoops, my bad. I've been spacing out the last few days. Thanks you guys. I feel dumb now. I complete forgot that there was a "Unit loses item" event.
