Item lost questions.

[ThySpektre]

1. How would you differentiate the triggers for a hero giving an item to another hero versus the hero dropping it on the ground? Both would trigger "Hero looses an item" but how would you do the check for given to another hero or dropped on the ground?

2. How would you code a trigger that if given to another hero, it is immediate given back to the original hero? (NO SHARING!! )

1. Maybe when a hero loses an item check if that item type is in a region centered at the hero with x,y width so it will see if he dropped it around the hero.
2. Try what i just said and do Item - Give item to Hero manipulating item

Just a reminder or something, that doesn't prevent sharing the item by dropping it and another one picking it up.

Hehe yeah it does... what you do is see if the hero lost the item... if he did give it back, then they cant take it.

Right, which is why I need to differentiate it. If it is dropped, I want to do to something else with it. If it is given to another hero, I want to give it right back. If it is placed in a building, the building will keep it.

Hmm, sounds like a good idea but it doesn;t work. it just sits there on the ground to be picked up.

Looks like it might be a matter of timing. I reversed the logic and it works. So it still considers the object "owned".

edit: by works I mean "doesn't work" LOL. The dropped item is ALWAYS owned.
