Chasing Visibility

[Addos]

hey,

im wonderin if it is possible to make it so when a hero buys a item
it will show to all players that hero, and where it moves (when its carring the item)

a little vision spot that follows the item, so if the hero drops it, it will show the item only , not the hero

same if the hero passes on the item to anotrher, it will then follow the new hero

i need to work, so when a hero buys a specific item, all other players can see him (only the hero, not the entire player base or the map), and hunt him down for the item, kinda like kill the dill wif the pill

and while im here,

when selling an item, u kno how it is always 50% of what its worth?, is it possibile to make it normal? like u buy sumthing for 500, and sell it for 500 ?


thanks.

oh, and also forgot to mention, when the hero carrring the item dies, he drops that item only, not all the items carried

hey, dont worry about the item sellin @ 50% bit, -- fount it

"game constants ! "

hmm I'll investigate more tomorrow, but for now start off with the action 'unit - share vision'. Items don't have visibility fields as far as I'm aware, so you're going to have to hunt for an item or unit ability to give it that will grant visibility.

To make it so that only that particular item gets dropped, simply set the 'stats - dropped when carrier dies' field to false for the items in question.

 

[Mind]

Event:
Unit - Specific/Generic unit event:
Unit acquires an item

Condition:
Item comparison:
Item is equal to item.

Action:
(Lock camera on unit)
(Message: Unit has acquired item)
Unit - Shared unit vision:
Grant shared vision of triggering unit to player

yeah that trigger is good, maybe replace (triggering unit) with (hero manipulating item)

as far as giving the item visibility goes, the only way I can think of to do it is to make an invisible dummy unit. Whenever the hero drops the item (i.e. in the event 'unit loses an item'), simply create a dummy unit at that location and everyone will be able to see the item.

thx ,

but to make things easier

having a visibility spot chasing the hero carring the item will be enuf,
showing the item when it drops is not nescessary,

so all i need is when a hero / unit buys an item, all others can see him (only the unit/hero, not his base and others)
and try to hunt him down.

then when a new hero gets the item by killing/pickin up or if the current hero just gave it to him. the visibility spot chases the new guy wif the item.

edit :"buys a specific item"
