Items within items?

[junz13]

I just saw this map which had a shop with an item containing various items inside? Can anyone give me the trigger for this??? It didn't have a price so it must've been a spellbook

It's not a trigger, it is a normal building of type "Arcane Vault" and you will have to change the items sold in the Object Editor.

He's saying the ITEM contained other items, not the building

Ah sorry, didn't check that right. Well, the only thing i can come up with is the Spell Book item, that has the abilities called like Item Names and the icons were from items as well and it gives different auras to the unit, like bearing all those items instead. How exactly it was?

maybe it wasnt an item.. could you buy it? did it have cost?
if not.. it's probably a spellbook.

I think he means like

Shop sells: Med-Pack
Med pack is actually a spellbook which contains health potion mana potion and restore all potion. Upon using the item in the spellbook the icon either disapears, or a trigger adds the item to your inventory and then the icon disapears. Either way it just seems like spells that use triggers to give u an item.

Umm... actually the item contained real items.. when you click the "Spell book item" it shows various items and clicking on the items inside the "Spell book item" means that you have purchased that item and it instantly goes to your inventory....

Well could someone at least tell me how to add a spellbook to a shop? I need at least 20 spellbooks in 1 shop

20 spellbooks in a 12 spot shop, from which one would be "Select User" (the blue circling arrows) if it has shop share? ... That's gonna be interesting to see.

Anyway, Andrew explained the creation/using of Spellbooks here pretty well. You might want to take a look.

Kiddo.

Ok then... at least 8 spellbooks ... Does anyone know? how i can place Spellbooks in Shops??? Thx in advance! @Kiddo the link doesn't say anything about spellbooks in shops

Ok, got it.
Create abilities based on Ability "Spell book". On each Spell book ability give a name of the item category it will contain, like "Potions"/ "Armors". Create all the items you want. Create all the items in abilities as well and place them in the right Spell Book.
Example: You want to make a Mana potion.
Create one item, called Mana Potion and modify it properly to give the effect you want.
Also, go to Abilities and Create an ability based on Channel, with "Target Type: No target (Instant)" value, "Options: Visible" and "Disables other abilities, False". Rename the ability into Mana Potion. Go in your spellbook ability and go where it says "Data - Spell List" and add this new ability. Also, don't forget to change the field "Maximum Spells Used" to the amount of abilities you will implement in yout spellbook. Now, make a trigger. A unit starts the effect of an ability. Ability being cast Equal to Mana Potion, Hero - Create Mana Potion and give it to hero. Set Property of Player 1 (Red) to (Property - X gold (this is the "gold cost" of the item)).
In this way you will do the rest of the items, it will just take up some time. Do not forget to add to the Shop inital mana amount and maximum amount. Set all of the spells' mana cost, that the shop will use, to 0.
