for thoes rpg map makers that have items randomly dropped by creeps but dont want to have the items just sit there forever, here is a trigger that will remove the items in a set time.

this one will remove the item anywhere from 30-40 sec after beeing dropped.

    Conditions
    Actions

These codes require a variable of type "Unit", and a trigger to set it:

Set selectedHero

    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
    Conditions
        (Triggering unit) is A Hero equals to true
    Actions
        Set selectedHero = (Triggering unit)

Set item charges

    Events
        Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -charges - as A substring
    Conditions
        (selectedHero is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Item - Set charges remaining in (Item carried by selectedHero in slot 1) to (Integer((Substring((Entered chat string), 12, (Length of (Entered chat string))))))

EDIT: This will set the charges of the item in slot 1, to the number that is after the second dash. Use 0 for infinite.

Hero revival time by level

Ok this is a little complicated trigger so im gonna display step by step

first the trigger as it should be

Events- Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Dying unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start (Last started timer) as a One-shot timer that will expire in ((Real((Level of (Dying unit) x (somthing)))) x (somthing) seconds
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for (Last started timer) with title Hero Revive in
        Countdown Timer - Show (Last Created Timer Window)

        Countdown Timer - Destroy (Last created timer window)
        Hero - Instantly revive (Dying Unit) at (Place Region Here), Show revival

so thats the trigger now what has to be done

1) Go to Start Timer
2) Fill in the Timer with your timer varable
3) Keep it as a One-Shot timer
4) Click the 30.00 part
5) click the first 1.00 part
6) go to function list
7) click Conversion - Convert Integer to Real
8) click the blue part
9) click Unit - Level of unit
10) click Triggering Unit
11) scroll up on the menu under function and click click Event Response - Dying Unit
12) click OK once.
13) click the second 1.00 part
14) change that part to anything u want
15) click ok and change the + into x
16) click ok once
17) click the second 1.00 part now
18) change to anything u want and click ok

Countdown Timer - Start (Your Variable Here) as a One-shot timer that will expire in ((Real((Level of (Dying unit) x (somthing)))) + somthing seconds.

That Somthing is the number u want the first one is the level x tims number so if it was 2 and ure hero lvl was 1 the first part would be 2 seconds

The second somthing is the number u want to add on the first time

The your variable is a normal variable time that u make by going to edit variables and create variable timer and thats it

the credits go to player 11 who helped me for this trigger and since its complicated i thought to post it here

About shields, one handed weapons and two handed weapons...

With this you can set what weapons are the heros allowed to use (i.e. only two swords OR one sword and one shield OR one bow OR one staff, etc.).
Hope you like it.

<change the values in conditions for ones of your choice>
<there are two variables, integer type, with an array of size 12 (Hands & Shield)>

When a unit acquires a shield, what happens?

AShield
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item

    Actions
        Set Hands[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] = (Hands[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] + 1)
        Set Shield[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] = (Shield[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] + 1)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Shield[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] Greater than 1
            Then - Actions
                Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
                Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))) the text: Only one shield at ...
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Hands[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] Greater than 2
            Then - Actions
                Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
                Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))) the text: Only two one handed...
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

If the units drops the shield...

DShield
    Events
        Unit - A unit Loses an item
    Conditions

        Set Shield[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] = (Shield[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] - 1)

(this two triggers have an extra variable that only allows one shield)


If someone acquires a One Handed Weapon...

AOneHand
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions

            If - Conditions
                Hands[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] Greater than 2
            Then - Actions
                Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
                Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))) the text: Only two one handed...
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

If the units drops...

DOneHand
    Events
        Unit - A unit Loses an item
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions

    Actions
        Set Hands[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] = (Hands[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] - 1)

Good, not too different to the shields triggers. But with the two handed weapons? Simply +/- 2.

            If - Conditions
                Hands[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] Greater than 2
            Then - Actions
                Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)

                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing

This should work for all purchasable items, so be sure they have a set amount of charges for maximum functionality!

Buy and Stack Items, even when inventory is full

EDIT:
I found a bug in my code so I edited it. Also made some improvements.
For the ones who already implemented this in their game, I put the changes in dark blue.
==========================================================


Ok, I shall start from the beginning, and try to give a clear description of what these triggers are for and how u can use them.
I'm not going to explain the JASS code.


PURPOSE:
The main goal is to have items that have a charge (like healing potions) take only 1 inventory slot. So that when u buy 2 healing potions u will actually get 1 potion with 2 charges instead of 2 potions with each 1 charge. (I hope this is clear)


DIFFICULTY
The problem with this system is, that when your units inventory is full, you are unable to buy items. So there are no charges added to your items.


SOLUTION
I made 2 versions of all items that I wanted to put together. 1 version is the real one. The second one is a dummy that has no abilities but uses automatically when acquired. In my shops I sell the dummy ones. Because they are automatically used when acquired, u can buy them even if your inventory is full (like tomes). I then use a trigger to catch this event and use the trigger to add the real item to the unit.
I also use a trigger to change the items back to dummies when they are dropped.

This might seem a bit far-fetched, but it is the only way I got it working.


STEP BY STEP
Here i will give a step by step guide of what you need to do, to implement this in your game.

1.
Make your items. When you are sure they are finished and working correctly, make a copy of them.

2.
The copy has the same name as the original. This might be confussing but leave it this way (the items need to be identical for the player). Now we need to make some changes in 1 of them. Pick 1 of the identical items and delete all abilities (Abilities - Abilities) of it. Also set Stats - Use automatically when aquired to True. This item shall I call the dummy item.
For the other item it is important to set the hitpoints (Stats - Hit Points) of the item to the same value as the gold cost (Stats - Gold Cost).

3.
We need to add the dummy item to a shop. (I'm gonna assume u know how to add items to a shop). To make sure we add the right item to the shop, we are gonna look at the raw data values of the items. Go to the menu View/Display values as raw data. Now look for your items in the list.

Let's say u made an item based on the healing potion, and u called it "Elixer". Then you should look for something like this: I005hea (Elixer)
When you look at the first 4 characters, you can see that they are different for all items. These are the ID's of your items.

Now search for the ID of your dummy-item. Then add that item to your shop (Make sure u check if u added the right one).

4.
Now we need to make 2 triggers. Make a trigger called "PutItemsTogether" and a trigger called "DropItemsPutTogether". Now convert both triggers to custom text. Do this by selecting the trigger and go to menu Edit/Convert to custom text.
Next replace the text in both triggers by what you find here

This comes in "PutItemsTogether"

function Trig_PutItemsTogether_Actions takes nothing returns nothing

There is only 1 thing u need to change now. The trigger uses the ID's of your items, so you need to replace these with your own (I placed them in BOLD). U need to replace 'I005' by the ID of your dummy-item and 'I00P' by your real item.

6.
For every item you need to add something to both triggers:

Add to "PutItemsTogether" just below // GET THE TYPEID OF THE ACQUIRED ITEM:

if GetItemTypeId( itemMANIPULATED ) == [B]'DUMMY_ID'[/B] then
    set intITEM_TYPEID = [B]'ID'[/B]
endif

Add to "DropItemsPutTogether" just below // GET THE TYPEID OF THE DROPPED ITEM

 if GetItemTypeId( itemDROPPED ) == [B]'ID'[/B] then
     set intDROPPED_TYPEID = [B]'DUMMY_ID'[/B]
 endif

END
That's it. It might seem much, but once u have imported the triggers it's very little work. Hope u can use it.

                    Else - Actions
            Else - Actions

had to figure this out for my AOS, this is how to combine items into a new one, when more then 1 of the same item are needed

this is an example for DotA, for the stygian desolator, you need 2 mithril hammers, and a stygian desolator recipe scroll, and this trigger makes them into a stygian desolator item

for editing:

the variable styg is an integer
the variable tomporary_point is a point, and is jsut needed for no memory leak at that step
since 2 are needed, you set stg up to 2, the remove them , and give the unit the item, change the styg needed for however many items of the same that are needed

 

[Jo.O]

It makes you only able to have one sword at a time one shield at a time etc.

NOTE: This code is for weapons. so i used PERMANENT for ALL my weapons. ALSO this is only for player 1, so you will have to make more than one code and variables if you have more players.

Change the text to eg. "You already have a weapon. Drop it if you want this one".

Note: The OnlyWeapon1 is a variable of type: Boolean set to False at start.



This is also only for player 1.

            Else - Actions
                Do Nothing

Good Luck.

This is a simpler version of Elthanor's gun triggers. His triggers had Gold as the clips and Lumber as the rounds. My version works only with Lumber as the arrows and the Lumber also decreases for each shot fired.

Arrows     
Events
        Unit - A unit Is attacked
    Conditions
        ((Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Archer) 
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Owner of (Attacking unit)) Current lumber) Greater than 0
            Then - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                    Then - Actions
                        Player - Set (Owner of (Attacking unit)) Current lumber to (((Owner of (Attacking unit)) Current lumber) - 1)
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing
            Else - Actions
                Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Stop

Combining Items by Clicking​

I wasn't sure if this was here yet.

-Go to the abilities tab in the object editor and go to Finger of Death item (it's under Special, Items).
-Then change all the effects to nothing like reducing the damage done to 0 etc. Then add item as the targets allowed.
-Next create a new custom item using one of the charged wands.
-Change the name, icon, and effects as you would normally, but add the ability Finger of Death (item) to it. (You can change the name of the finger of death if you like.)
-This "wand" is the item that you will click first and then click another item to combine with it.
-Make sure the wand has only one charge, unless you want the original item to stay.

Having done that create a trigger like this:

Combining Items
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Ability being cast) Equal to Finger of Death (item) [COLOR=Blue](or the changed name)[/COLOR]
                (Item-type of (Target item of ability being cast)) Equal to [COLOR=Blue]<the item you want it to combine with>[/COLOR]
            Then - Actions
                Item - Create [COLOR=Blue]<the item you want to be made>[/COLOR] at (Position of (Target item of ability being cast))
                Item - Remove (Target item of ability being cast)
            Else - Actions

Item Stacking System​

Note: Since I now released Item Stacking System II this one can be considered as obsolete so it is recommended that you do not use it anymore.

Considering the fact Appie's system wouldn't work for me i had to make my own...

What it does?
Every time you pick up a stackable item (healing potion, ankh of reincarnation or anything else) it will stack instead of taking a new item slot.
You need 2 triggers for this:

Acquire
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
        (Custom value of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to 0
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Potion of Healing
                (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Potion of Mana
                [COLOR=Red]>>add new items here<<[/COLOR]
    Actions
        Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
        Item - Set the custom value of (Item being manipulated) to 1
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Hero manipulating item) has an item of type (Item-type of (Item being manipulated))) Equal to True
            Then - Actions
                Item - Set charges remaining in (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type (Item-type of (Item being manipulated))) to ((Charges remaining in (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)))) + (Charges remaining in (Item being manipulated)))
                Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)
            Else - Actions
                Hero - Give (Item being manipulated) to (Hero manipulating item)

Lose
    Events
        Unit - A unit Loses an item
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Potion of Healing
                (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Potion of Mana
                [COLOR=Red]>>add new items here<<[/COLOR]
    Actions
        Item - Set the custom value of (Item being manipulated) to 0

Now the only thing you need to do here is to make a list of items you want stackable. To do this simply add new conditions below >>add new items here<< in both triggers.
Example:

    Conditions
        (Custom value of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to 0
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Ankh of Reincarnation
                (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Healing Wards

Hope this is clear; it makes Ankh of Reincarnation and Healing Wards stackable.

This is a much simpler version of the trigger that limts heroes from carrying more than one weapon, shield, etc at a time. The equipment is put into classifications, such as weapons are misc., armor is artifact, shields are charged, etc. TO modify it for different equipment all that must be changed are the conditions, change the classification to what your working with, the slot the item is moved to, and the item slots that are checked for other items of the same class.

Weapon
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
        (Item-class of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Miscellaneous
    Actions
        Unit - Order (Hero manipulating item) to move (Item being manipulated) to inventory slot 1
        Wait 0.01 seconds
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Or - Any (Conditions) are true
                    Conditions
                        (Item-class of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 2)) Equal to Miscellaneous
                        (Item-class of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 5)) Equal to Miscellaneous
                        (Item-class of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 3)) Equal to Miscellaneous
                        (Item-class of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 4)) Equal to Miscellaneous
                        (Item-class of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot 6)) Equal to Miscellaneous
            Then - Actions
                Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
                Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))) the text: You can only wield ...
            Else - Actions
                Do nothing

The Event is simply when a unit picks up an item, the condition just checks what class this item is, then the action moves that item to a certain slot, then it checks all slots except that one for the item, if another item of the same type is picked up, the old item is moved from that slot, and the new one put in its place, but then there is an item of that type in the slots it checks, so that last aquired item is dropped, and a message is displayed.
The onlly downside to this trigger is it makes keeping your inventory organized difficult, but one trigger will work for every hero on the map.
