Make an item drop on death

[aussj4link]

Ok, heres the problem, i want to make it so that certain units will drop an item, theres alot of smaller easier to kill monsters that come at you in this and one boss type of monster, in the map there isn;t really much of a way to get your hero back if he dies, so i wanted to make it so that say when a boss dies he will have a 100% chance to drop a reviving scroll (i hav made all the heros death type: "can raise, does not decay").

In this map its basically a survival, you have one hero and you run around looking for items to help you suvives massive waves of enemies, but when some one does its basically game over cuz theres really not much way for them to come back, so, i wanted like say the smaller creatures to have a maybe 2%-5% chance to drop the scroll and the boss has a 100% chance.

I have seen in melees the creeps will have a certain chance to drop things, where the hell is this option! i have looked through the editor everywhere i cud possible think of that it might be, but i cannot find it anywhere! If some one could just point out where it is or maybe offer a sollution of some kind i would be very greatful. Thx

Double-click the units with the selection brush active. Use the "Dropped Items" tab to bring up the item tables, or something. I never really use it, but I think it might be what you are looking for.

Well heres a trigger you can use for that:
Chance to drop

Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
         change the unit type to the unit you want and make
         it Or - Any (Conditions) are true and then all the units u want to drop the item  
    Actions
        Set Chance_to_drop = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                Or - Any (Conditions) are true
                    Conditions
                        Chance_to_drop Equal to 1
                        Chance_to_drop Equal to 2
                        Chance_to_drop Equal to 3
                        Chance_to_drop Equal to 4
                        Chance_to_drop Equal to 5
            Then - Actions
                Item - Create Tome of Experience at (Position of (Dying unit))
                Change to your item(s).
            Else - Actions

and make a seperate trigger for bosses and you dont need the bosses and dont give it ther if/then/else action

If it is more than 1 and you want it to have a chance to drop either im not quite sure how to do that, if you needed to do that srry but i dont know how
,well any way if it is just 1 item you want this will work

If you want one (1) item to drop specifically, like let's say the head of the golem you're out to kill in a quest, then the trigger couldn't be easier. Just do this:
---
Untitled Trigger 001
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Neutral Hostile Dies
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Golem
Actions
Item - Create Head of Golem at (Position of (Dying unit))
Game - Display to (All players) the text: The golem is slain!
---

Ta-daa! But, you know, that is ONLY if you want the item to be specifically dropped. You may also want to add "Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)" if it is for a quest, and so on. You know.

If he just wants it to drop once then it might be easier to just double click the unit in the unit palet after its been set and add an item that drops on death to that unit
But the floating text would be cool
but.... if the unit is not originaly set in the map then that won't work

As always, you logic is immune to any type of negative critisim - not that i would have any, but still. But i tend to miss up on the details when i'm this tired + drugged up with Coke. Whoever i (we) am helping right now, listen to this guy/gal. He's got it all under the lens xD...

ya but my previous suggestion wouldnt work, say if he added the unit by a trigger

all units are created in-game, so clicking on them in the palete is impossible, but i think for now ill try to just make it so that the bosses will drop a scroll, cuz making the smaller ones hav a low chance looks a bit frusterating lol, thanks tho!
