Differentiating Between Drop Item and Give Item

Is there a way differentiate between when a unit is ordered to drop an item on the ground, and when a unit is ordered to give an item to another unit? Both use the order id 852001 (as far as I know), and I can't find a way to detect which is which.

Why? I am nearly finished with the first part of WMI (I have written all the base code, and am almost done implementing a bag), but I need to know if a unit is going to drop an item on the ground, or on a unit. If it's gonna drop it on the ground, I can let it do that, but dropping an item on a unit is disallowed.

There's a thing in Object Editor for items called something like "Stats -Can be dropped?" It's a boolean, maybe try set that to false for the item, I don't know if it will work or not but it's worth a try.
And umm... Maybe giving an item to a unit is just dropping it then making the target unit pick it up, hard coded?

Check to see if any unit within range of the "dropper" holds an item of that type.

If yes, then well give it back to its respective owner!

Or, something might worth a try would be to check if there is a "Target unit of issued order".

Damn. The problem seems to be that these two are instant-target orders. Just like 'unload' on the goblin zeplin, they 'target' a widget, but are instant orders (I dunno why, but they are). I will keep trying to find a way to at least get the point that the item is going to be 'dropped' on (if the order was to drop), so that, if there is a point, I know it's a point order.

If none of this works, I will probably have to do something like:

You drop an item on another hero. A window pops up for them. "BLANK would like to trade." If they click yes, then you go to a trade screen, where you can see your item, their item, how much gold you are offering, and how much they are offering, a 'complete transaction' button, and a cancel button. To change your item, double right click it. Then find another one in your inventory, and double right click it. To make an offer, click the transaction button. If you make an offer, and then they make the same offer before you make a different offer or cancel, the trade will be made. Click cancel to cancel trade. If they click no, nothing happens, and no trades can be made between those two specific heroes for thirty seconds (to avoid gay "I'ma keep doig this until you trade with me!!!!1!!one!'.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
