Uhm i need help with triggering dropping items..
so it does this..
when any unit owned by player 12 dies,there will be a 4% chance for dropping an item.this item is then randomed between x amount of items before dropping.this is what i have..

Code:
Events
    Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
Conditions
Actions
    If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        If - Conditions
            (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 4
        Then - Actions
        Else - Actions
            Do nothing
how would i continue this??? thanks :thup:

If the unit you use, or units, is already in game when it starts, if you put it from the editor. You can just modify the Item Dropping of the unit, using item tables...

If not... you should make some actions like...

Then Actions
Set variable number = Math - Random number between 1 and X
If number is Y then do:
Drop Z item.
If number is Y then do:
Drop Z item
If number is Y then do:
Drop Z item
And so on...
But that requires a lot of triggering, you should look up for tutorials about this... maybe it would help.

Why not use item arrays? The actions could be like
Trigger:
  • Item - Create DropItem[(Random integer number between 1 and 4)]

where DropItem is an item array variable.

Arrays are going to be the easiest way to go about this, and they aren't too complicated.
First, you would create an Item-Type variable, and click the array box to make the variable an array. Then you would do something like this:
Trigger:
  • Trigger 1
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set ItemTypeArray[1] = Claws of Attack +15
      • Set ItemTypeArray[2] = Crown of Kings +5
      • Set ItemTypeArray[3] = Kelen's Dagger of Escape
      • Set ItemTypeArray[4] = Mask of Death
      • Set ItemTypeArray[5] = ....

You would use one action for each item you want to have a chance to drop.
Then your other trigger would look like this:
Trigger:
  • Trigger 2
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit owned by Player 12 (Brown) Dies
    • Conditions
      • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 4
    • Actions
      • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Dying unit))
      • Item - Create ItemTypeArray[(Random integer number between 1 and X)] at TempPoint
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Where X would be the number of items you had in the first trigger.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    whatever at least you are free

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
