Item Drops

[JakeWC123]

How do you make random item drops
Can you do it with triggers?

 

[PurgeandFire]

I think you can do it with triggers or double-click a unit and give a % chance to drop an item...

Random items as in loot from kills? Or just random items placed randomly on the map?

As In Loot but if you double click the unit that item only drops once

Item Tables can cause a unit to drop more than one item. You just need multiple sets, each with 100% chance (I think, never really used Item Tables). If you are going to have units spawned via triggers, there's a better (and actually doable, Item Tables only work on pre-sets) way. Just detect a unit dying, and If it is a Wolf, roll a random number between 1 and 100. If it's like 10 and less, drop gold, etc.

hmm ....how to roll random number....where is that in scripts ?

You would have to use integer comparisons:

    Actions
        Set Temp_Int = (Random integer number between 1 and 20)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Temp_Int Less than or equal to 10
            Then - Actions
                 //Do further actions
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        Temp_Int Greater than 10
                    Then - Actions
                         //Do further actions
                    Else - Actions

Those conditions would isolate the stored number in the variable, giving both a 50% chance to be true.

You don't need to use a variable to refer to the number though, that can easily be done without, but, I use one because it makes things a little easier to read.

Here's an example of a random number isolation, that doesn't use an integer variable:

    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Random integer number between 1 and 20) Less than or equal to 10
            Then - Actions
                 //Do further actions
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Random integer number between 1 and 20) Greater than 10
                    Then - Actions
                         //Do further actions
                    Else - Actions
