Dota's Magic Bottle question.

[DeathBound]

how to trigger the magic bottle in DOTA, i tried my trigger and it works exactly but the problem is the position of the magic bottle is moved to the top when used. how i dont know how to detect in which the item being manipulated is in what position of inventory.

another question is how to auto refill the magic bottle when it is nearby the fountain.. can someone show me the triggers..

another one is how to get a rune using empty bottle? thx!! just show me the triggers

You might want to say what Magic Bottle does, not everyone has played DotA.

It probably uses 3 different items, removing/adding an item when a charge is used or near the fountain. For the stored runes, it probably uses additional items for each type of rune, then when that rune is used, it replaces it with the other bottle item and simply adds a dummy buff.

Read and understand the original post first, then answer.

how i dont know how to detect in which the item being manipulated is in what position of inventory.

You would loop through the hero's inventory and check if the current slot contains the used item. Then store that value in a variable and order the hero to move the newly created item to this slot.

This method has the problem, that the issued order interrupts the current order of the hero. If this is a problem, you would have to fill the empty slots before you give the item to the hero and remove the filler-items afterwards.

Hope this was understandable. =)

how to auto refill the magic bottle when it is nearby the fountain

Just create a region at your fountain.
When a hero enters that region, check if he has an empty bottle and replace it.

Make a new rune bottle item for each rune.
Add an item-targetted spell to your empty bottle item and check, on which rune the spell is used.
Then add the corresponding rune bottle item to your hero.

For using it, add to each rune bottle item a non-targetted ability.
When one of those abilities is casted, you create that rune in front of your hero and order him to use it.

thx for that.

i still dont know the trigger for checking in what position in inventory the item being manipulated this is my code

Magic Bottle 3
Events
Unit - A unit Uses an item
Conditions
(Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Magic Bottle 3/3
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
((Triggering unit) has (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to True
Then - Actions
Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Magic Bottle 3/3)
Hero - Create Magic Bottle 2/3 and give it to (Triggering unit)
Else - Actions

As I already said, store the slot in a variable and order the hero to move the replaced bottle to the stored slot.

And stop bumping.. You could also just ask, if there's something you don't understand.
I will not make the triggers for you.

I just made an ability and gave it to the item instead.

I'd do something like this.

Bottle -> Item Type Array (Used to store the 1/3, 2/3, full bottle.)
BottleType -> Integer
Counter -> Integer
CounterCheck -> Boolean
Space filler -> Just an item that does nothing

Yeah, and I answered.

I just don't think posting the finished trigger helps as much as giving him hints would do, but maybe that's just me.

It's okay, I guess different people have different helping methods. For me, I'd post an example and he should be able to do similar stuff. This is actually, kinda complicated.

Set the magic bottles as
MagicBottle[0] = Empty Bottle
MagicBottle[1] = 1/3 Bottle
MagicBottle[2] = 2/3 Bottle
MagicBottle[3] = Full Bottle

 

[Aedes]

try to use the < item use > trigger. then do the loop to check the slot of the item being manipulated. after checking, remove item. then add item to the position of the manipulated item.

 

[DeathBound]

Set the magic bottles as
MagicBottle[0] = Empty Bottle
MagicBottle[1] = 1/3 Bottle
MagicBottle[2] = 2/3 Bottle
MagicBottle[3] = Full Bottle

sweet!!! +rep for u thx for the help it works now so smooth and clean thx again!!!

 

[DeathBound]

Set the magic bottles as
MagicBottle[0] = Empty Bottle
MagicBottle[1] = 1/3 Bottle
MagicBottle[2] = 2/3 Bottle
MagicBottle[3] = Full Bottle

one small problem.. when i have other items on my slot. the bottles seems to go to the last slot of my inventory..
