Walk over item = pick up item

SockSquirrelMouthwash	Any way this can happen? Trying to make an arcade style map and want to make it so all you need to do to gain a power-up item is to simply walk over it. Haven't had the time to search around, but if anyone has a trick to do this, I'd be happy to know about it Thanks in advance!

First, you might want to turn collision off for the item under its preferences and options... Or not. Then you could just have a function that triggers when specified hero gets within a certain radius (close enough to walk over the pick-up) and then have an action that adds that item to the triggering unit's inventory.

This would only work in the specific case, unless you had the item as a variable... and the hero... and other such things. If you set it up that way, it could work in more general cases.

I hope that sounded as clear in my head as I wrote it just now.

Items only have pathing towards "wind-walked" units.

You could probably do something like this for your actions, and then just run it every few seconds:

JASS:

function GetItem takes nothing returns nothing
    local item I = <Your Item>
    local real X = GetItemX(I)
    local real Y = GetItemY(I)
    if (IsUnitInRangeXY( <Your Unit>, X, Y, 100) == true) then
        call UnitAddItem( <Your Unit>, I)
    endif
endfunction
