Collecting spell

[go7ary]

hi everyone- i was hoping if someone could please help me make a spell- the spell is suppose to make a specific unit type collect a specific item- i think i need to make a dummy spell, but im not experienced with triggers. If someone could please post a trigger that would make the specific unit automatically collect a specific item that would be really helpful- if its possable i want the spell to be one of those right click and activate it automatically for as long as its selected. Thank yo

Or to create an item directly to him? I haven't played much with items so I'll stay at the side and watch others solutions and learn something myself too

Best wishes.

Well I might be able to help you if I knew what you were saying...

Ha. Lol.

But in a more polite manner , Can you please rephrase what you are saying? I dont quite understand.

sorry for confusion - i mean to say is that i want a unit, that has an spell- when this spell is cast it collects a specific item near it- and the spell can be put on automatic mode

 

[Hadezown]

Try this:

Events
    Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions
    (Ability being cast) Equal to ItemGivingAbility

Actions
    Hero - Create YourItem and give it to (Casting unit)

The ItemGivingAbility can be based on autocasting Frost Armor, that's just what I would use anyway. Just remove the armor bonus and duration of the frost armor and it should work fine. Inner Fire works too. Just keep in mind they will only autocast when the unit is attacking.

thank you for the help- but i think you understood wrong - my fault for unclear explanation. There item is already on the map- i just want the unit to collect the item not create it.

Do you want the unit to go to the point where it is? Or just have the item moved to his inventory?

Do what Hadezown said but first set the item type in a variable, then remove the item from the game, and then create the item again but put it in the inventory of the unit that cast the ability.

OR:

• Hero - Give (Item) to (Triggering unit)

(Item) is a preset item that you selected in the world editor, and Triggering unit is the unit that cast the spell.

Perhaps something like this?

• Pick Item Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to <YourCollectAbility>
  • Actions
    • Item - Pick every item in (Region centered at (Position of (Casting unit)) with size (200.00, 200.00)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Give (Picked item) to (Casting unit)

I haven't tried it though, so I'm not 100% it works good.

That would probably work.

Make sure you remove the memory leak too, by setting the position of the unit to a variable, then remove it.
