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!'.

    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

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!

    Finally finding about some of the bots that are flooding the users online - bytespider apparently is a huge offender here - ignores robots.txt and comes in from a ton of different IPs

    @The Helper I'm really not seeing the "Signature" link in the sidebar on that page. Here's a screenshot:
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I have reported it - I was wondering why nobody I have given sigs to over the last few years have used them
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.

    Here is a better place to manage this stuff https://www.thehelper.net/account/account-details which I think should be way more visible
