Item - Changing Slots - Detectable?

[Fulla]

Heyas,

Im working on a basic invetory system, that via next/previous page extends the item to a 10 slot inventory.
Currently everything works fine, theres just a minor hindrance.

If a guy changes items around, say swap item slot 1&4 with each other, thus far to my knowledge I cant detect it.
So when you go to next page and back, the items will revert to their original order.

So if their a method detecing it?
thx

Doesn't "can be dropped: false" keep them in place?


If not, there is an order involved in moving them around:

Events
- Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
- Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
- Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
Conditions
Actions
Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()))

Hey fulla, I would set variables ( ItemSlotOnePlayers [ Array *PlayerCount ] ) for example and then check if item of the hero in slot x equal to the variable. If not, check in which slot the item now is, then you know how he changed item order in his inventory! Hope this helped!

btw, can you invite me into your clan?

ah thx for help, I now simply also, store the page when next/previous page is clicked.

@dhk, catch me when im next online.

For anyone interested

The event is A unit Is issued an order targeting an object and the order ID is:
852002 for an item being placed in the 1st slot,
852003 for an item being placed in the 2nd slot,
852004 ... 3rd slot,
852005 ... 4th slot,
852006 ... 5th slot,
852007 ... 6th slot.

So it is detectable which slot is the item placed into. In case of swapping two items, the order ID only tells the second slot being clicked (e.g. where does the item that was clicked first ends after the swap).

But anyway, you always know which unit's inventory is the swap being performed in - the Triggering unit.

isnt there an Event which simply says 'manipulates object'? a simple 'starts the effect of spell' will detect spells cast even via items, and theres seperate events for Get and Drop items... so Manipulate Object im pretty sure will make it detect when the object is moved around or messed with at all... might actually have to make sure its not being cast or anythin like that...

Not really, no.
And definitely not when moving items around in your inventory.
(Other than what is mentioned in post #6...)

Actually, the plan would be to combine items by dropping one on the other.
Which calls for knowing both the item that is moved and the slot it's dropped to.
Though that wasn't exactly what the original poster had in mind... several months ago...

Can be done - at the time that the order is issued, the items are still in place. So it's just a question of remembering the items in the inventory, waiting 0.1s and then checking the inventory against the remembered one.

But that's just for a future reference, if anyone would be interested

Or what I did in my item sys was when the "go to the next page" button is clicked,remember the current position of the items ^^
