Item Crafting Spell

[Naga Captain]

Ok, I got back into Warcraft AGAIN, and I request some help for a spell. As described in the title, the spell creates an item. I have an idea for a Witch Doctor hero in which the hero creates an item through a spell, and I don't know where to start. Also, while I'm at it, on another map I have, I have a Hero that's pretty much a Druid. He's supposed to have two shape-shifting; I based them off of the Tinker's Ultimate. But, I always have some problem; can't revert back, can't access the other forms spells... Is it because it's a different Hero? That probably is why. I might just make a special unit out of it, rather than a hero. Well, thanks for any help you send my way, appreciate it, etc.

The convertion it is easier if you base it on one of the nightelf druids abilities, like bear-form for example.

And for the first question. Use the search function in this forum, it is your friend and I am pretty sure that someone has posted about how to make that kind of spell before:thup:

Searching doesn't help at all =/

Ok, sorry for double posting, but this is going to get no attention three pages back. Could anyone please help? ;~;

Make a trigger that checks when an ability is cast, and then create (item) for the caster. If you want to remove leaks, store the casting unit in a variable and clear the variable after.

Ok, but what ability to I base it off of then?

Units do not leak, they are removed when decayed, unless they are heroes.
Common units does not have to be stored in a variable.

I recommend channel, it is the easiest spell to make dummy spells from.
Here you can find turotials wich will help you towards your goal.

And to say, that you may want to store the "Craftable items" in a Item type array variable.

If it is a random creation of these items you can do this:

Event: Map init
Conditions: none, 0, nada, inga, null.
actions:
set item-type-array[0] = Gloves of haste
set item-type-array[1] = Sword of Flame
set item-type-array[2] = Boots of Wind
and so on...

Then you do another trigger that reacts to the spell.

Event: A unit casts an ability.
Conditions: Ability beaing cast = your ItemCreation Spell
Actions:
Create Item of type (item-type-array[Random number between 0 and 2]) for triggering unit

That is one way to do it, and what I recall it shall be leak free and only takes one variable:thup:
