Persistent Summon Inventory - D'oh!

01-09-2007, 05:15 PM

Bringing this into its own thread because I have several variations of it I'm looking to implement, but the flagship trigger is as follows:

Trigger:

Catalogue The Gore Bus

Events

Unit - A unit Acquires an item

Conditions

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 1) (Gorvus)

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 2) (Gorvus)

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 3) (Gorvus)

Actions

If ((Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 1) Equal to No item) then do (Set GoreBusItems[1] = No item) else do (Do nothing)

Set GoreBusItems[1] = (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 1)

If ((Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 2) Equal to No item) then do (Set GoreBusItems[2] = No item) else do (Do nothing)

Set GoreBusItems[2] = (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 2)

If ((Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 3) Equal to No item) then do (Set GoreBusItems[3] = No item) else do (Do nothing)

Set GoreBusItems[3] = (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 3)

If ((Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 4) Equal to No item) then do (Set GoreBusItems[4] = No item) else do (Do nothing)

Set GoreBusItems[4] = (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 4)

If ((Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 5) Equal to No item) then do (Set GoreBusItems[5] = No item) else do (Do nothing)

Set GoreBusItems[5] = (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 5)

If ((Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 6) Equal to No item) then do (Set GoreBusItems[6] = No item) else do (Do nothing)

Set GoreBusItems[6] = (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 6)

Using this to take note of items when the summon is given them. Then I have this:

Trigger:

Gore Bus Dies

Events

Unit - A unit Dies

Conditions

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 1) (Gorvus)

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 2) (Gorvus)

(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 3) (Gorvus)

Actions

Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 1)

Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 2)

Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 3)

Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 4)

Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 5)

Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 6)

To keep the items from just dumping on the ground. Problem is, I can't seem to give the items back to the thing when it is resummoned, etc. Here's the last part of the equation:

Trigger:

Outfit The Gore Bus

Events

Unit - A unit Spawns a summoned unit

Conditions

Or - Any (Conditions) are true

Conditions

(Unit-type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 1) (Gorvus)

(Unit-type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 2) (Gorvus)

(Unit-type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to The Gore Bus (Level 3) (Gorvus)

Actions

Hero - Give GoreBusItems[1] to (Summoned unit)

Hero - Give GoreBusItems[2] to (Summoned unit)

Hero - Give GoreBusItems[3] to (Summoned unit)

Hero - Give GoreBusItems[4] to (Summoned unit)

Hero - Give GoreBusItems[5] to (Summoned unit)

Hero - Give GoreBusItems[6] to (Summoned unit)

Naakaloh	An item must exist to be given to a hero. If you remove the item, you'll have to create another of the same type for it be given to the hero.

Ahhh, that makes sense. So this is the right way to do it?

Trigger:

Hero - Create (Item-type of GoreBusItems[1]) and give it to (Summoned unit)

Edit: Damn. Still doesn't work.

Thunder_Eye	Trigger: Set GoreBusItems[2] = (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 2) should be and Item-Type comparsion, not an Item comparions. EDIT: I dont think that will work if GoreBusItems[1] is "No Item" (after youve removed it)

EDIT:

Set GoreBusItems[1] = (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)))

?

How would I better go about making sure someone doesn't trick the array into free items?

Naakaloh	Can you use an itemtype variable instead of item? I don't know if you can it's been a while since I've used the World Editor. Assuming that will work, just set the value to null or "No Itemtype" or whatever it needs to be after you give it to the resummoned thing.

Did that, but for whatever reason it only keeps track of inventory slot 1.
