Potion Stack

I searched the forums and didn't see a thread for this so.. Here goes
Is making potions stack together triggered?

Solved,

You mean like potions that would be in a hero's inventory? Some things can be done with the object editor, but mostly stacking would be done with triggers. It depends on what you're trying to do.

Yes like the inventory; You buy a lot of potions and they're all one item and have multiple charges.

• trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Sold Item)) Equal to Replenishment Potion
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Replenishment Potion
            • (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A)) Not equal to (Sold Item)
          • Then - Actions
            • Item - Set charges remaining in (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A)) to ((Charges remaining in (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))) + 1)
            • Item - Remove (Sold Item)
          • Else - Actions

I think something like that would achieve what you want.

That works. But lets say Hero 1 has 6 items, one of them being Health Potion. If he tries to buy more health potions, then it would say "Inventory is full" and thus, not allow him to buy more Health Potions. Workaround is a dummy item. Which is actually a unit. Hero 1 buys "Health Potion" (which is really a unit). If Hero 1 has Health Potion, set charges +1. If Hero 1 does not have Health Potion, and has at least 1 slot left, then create Health Potion, and give to Hero 1.

Oh and then they remove the bought unit. So that's how they do it.... ahaha.

To elaborate on esb's post. It'd be better if a powerup is used instead of unit. I believe that's what is used in DotA. The triggering is more complicated than normal though. Then again, that's not what the poster wants. So, I'll just skip that. Also, try using a unit acquire an item event instead. It would work better because it accounts for items that are 'picked'.

Here's one in our resources.

• Stacking
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Charges remaining in (Item being manipulated)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A)))
            • (Item being manipulated) Not equal to (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))
          • Then - Actions
            • Item - Set charges remaining in (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A)) to ((Charges remaining in (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) + (Charges remaining in (Item being manipulated)))
            • Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)
          • Else - Actions
