Bottle item from dota

[djb4cc1o94]

How do i make an item like the "Magical Bottle" in DotA? i already made runes.
What do i need to make ? Trigger it i guess,but any explain ?

Please dont say "Not all players play dota explain better" coz i cant explain better.

 

[johnnymra]

That is actually what you should do, explain better. But because thank god i played dota... i will sacrifice and do your work. I will explain what i think you want.
You want an item (a bottle) that regenerates hp and mana and dispels on combat.
Still, the item has 3 charges... but when all the charges are used, it still does not dissapear... and it can be recharged from a fountain. (when you get near the fountain you get back the 3 charges)
Also when a hero acquires a rune (an instant used on acquiring item) the bottle item shall be transformed into an item with the ability of the rune, and when it is used it transforms back into the 3 charged bottle.

Hope this clarifies it so that some people may be able to help you, i don't... but at least i have the brains to form a description for what you want, something you should have done...

Refills to 3/3 full when you are near the fountain

Regenerate
Restores 135 HP and 70 Mana over 3 seconds
Effect ends if you take damage
When used, 3/3 full Bottle changes to 2/3 full, 2/3 Bottle changes to 1/3 full, and 1/3 full Bottle changes to Empty Bottle
Cannot be used when Bottle is empty
Has a 0.5 second cooldown

Rune Capture
Stores the target rune in the Bottle, the rune can be used by using the Bottle
When a rune is used from the Bottle, the Bottle is refilled to 3/3 full
Stored runes are automatically used after 120 seconds
Can only be used when Bottle is empty
Bottle is not drop-able when it has a rune stored

You should at least try to post a better description of what you want.
If you don't, we can't help you at all.
Don't say you 'can't'.
I got the above description directly from the Official DotA Website.

johnnymra didn't have to be so roud about it though.

All you have to do is to make several items and link them with triggers. You have Bottle_Full, Bottle_2/3, Bottle_1/3, Bottle_Empty, Bottle_MS, Bottle_DD, Bottle_REG, Bottle_ILL, Bottle_WW.
Add to all items an ability based on channel and at targets/cast you choose instant, so when you press an ability is done.
Now check what items do you have when you press the ability from item, if you have Bottle_Full then create a dummy and order it to cast healing on you and then remove the item and place Bottle_2/3, continue until you replace Bottle_1/3 with Bottle_Empty, on Bottle empty add the channel ability but at its options add target type "unit target" and check if target is one of your runes when you cast ability, then you will be able from runes to replace your item with the according one that has the special abilities.
Even on "special" Bottles add the same channel ability as I said and then check what the item and order your dummy to cast the ability the item describes.
When you get a special bottle start a 2 minute timer, when it stops check if he has now the same special item and force him to use it.
If he pressed the special item before the 2 minutes pass, just stop the timer and destroy it.
Also add a region near the fountains and add an event when someone enters that region to replace if he has Bottle_2/3 or Bottle_1/3 or Bottle_Empty to replace it with Bottle_Full.

"Nha im too lazy also i didnt ask you to"

This won't save you. We are not your slaves to tell us DO IT and expect you to do, this is thehelper.net not findyourbitch.net

Just because u got the description... i know it u can go to dota website.

You're the one asking for help.
We're here to help you, but we're not the ones who should have to run around and look for the description of what you want.

If you didn't want to post that big quote, you could've at least linked to some sort of website with the description of the bottle.
If you knew it was on the DotA page, why not link it?

I'm not trying to be mean, or rude, but just take some time and type out a clear, concise description of what you want before you post.

 

[djb4cc1o94]

Only people wich plays dota can understand description very well and have a demostration of the item working so thats why....

 

[WolfieeifloW]

With the description I posted, I believe anyone could understand what a 'bottle' in DotA is.
Maybe, you might, have to explain what a rune is, but I don't really think you would have to.

Try this.

Not sure if it works or not, but if you use it, and something doesn't work, just tell me, and I'll fix it.

You can use any old item. It doesn't matter. Make an ability that targets items, but does nothing (probably based off Channel), and add it to the item. If you don't know how to fill in the item fields, copy the values from (or even base the item off) an existing item with a targetable ability.

As for the code, create a new trigger, and Edit > Convert to Custom Text. Make sure that the trigger is blank, then copy and paste the code into the trigger.
