Lost item issues.

[ThySpektre]

Well I really have struggled with this as I hate trying to get spoon-fed but I don't see what I am doing wrong with this trigger or a better way to do it.

I am trying to make it such that if any player's hero (one per person) loses an item the following occurs.

1. If it is dropped on the ground it turns into a different item.
2. If it is given to another hero (all heros are MECHs in this game) it is removed from the receiver's inventory and handed back to the giver immediately.
3. If it is given to a non-hero unit (including a building) it is just given as normal.
4. If it is pawned at a shop, it is just pawned as normal.

Here is the current trigger. All seems to work well "most" of the time. Rarely though when an item is dropped on the ground it just disappears howver. I know it is a complicated trigger, but any help would be appreciated.

The problem is in your last condition check. That one which checks if it belongs to a variable with an array of size 81. And that same one which checks if the item is hidden.

I dunno what exactly may be the problem, but look at the size of your array, also look if there is a trigger hidding an item somewhere in your triggers.

Just keep in mind that one of those 2 conditions make it bug because if it returns false it will make the item disappear but won't create a new one, since the 2 conditions must be true.

Good luck

Thaks,

Sometimes you need to just step away from something a while.

It was a tupo as you notices. The correct array in my map is WeaponType...not WeaponSelected.

Thanks,

I guess you figured it out by yourself then

Good luck !

Nope, you pointed me in the right direction...rep for you. That was a long trigger to dig into.
