Item Problems

[HoboJoe_5]

Is there a way to limit the number of an specific item an unit can have without triggers. (I know a way with triggers i am just lazy)

Umm... if you only have 1 item on the map it would be incredibly difficult to get 2... :)

 

[HoboJoe_5]

lol
I mean like a unit is allowed to only have 1 of specific item.

I can't find a way without triggers so...I dunno

Without triggers, your choices are somewhat limited.
Like, for example, setting the inventory to hold at most one item...
Or, make them so incredibly expensive that you can't possibly buy more than one.

But, is there some particular reason to avoid triggers?

 

[HoboJoe_5]

aww o well i guess i will just use triggers won't take long
thanks anyway

What the smart people do is run an For each integer 1-6 checking every type of item, and if the type of item in the slot equal to type of manipulating item AND its not equal to manipulating item then drop it.

hmm i don't really get what your saying so i will just make an integer to keep track of the number of items in the inventory of the hero for the items i want limited to one

This is what Rad was talking about

    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
    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
                        (Item-type of (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to (Item-type of (Item being manipulated))
                        (Item being manipulated) Not equal to (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) in slot (Integer A))
                    Then - Actions
                        Hero - Drop (Item being manipulated) from (Hero manipulating item)
                        Skip remaining actions
                       [B] - OR -[/B] Depends on wich one you prefer
                        Hero - Drop the item from slot (Integer A) of (Hero manipulating item)
