Welcome to thehelper.net.

We do not use 1337 language much.

are you talking about the value item-ignore cooldown or you mean other?

please specify

 

[2-P]

In the object editor: Stats - Can be dropped

 

[c-series]

well i've never meant to use 1337 lang ... old habits kicking in

ummm .. if you ever play dota ( rethorical thing to ask imho ) ... remember hand of midas ?? ... you can drop it ... but when the item is in its cooldown you can no longer drop it ....

stats : ignore cooldown ; this thing only ignore the cooldown specified in stats - cooldown group
stats : can be dropped ; i want to make item like midas ( you can drop it while not in cooldown and vice versa )... this thing only make the item undropable at beginning ( were you specify it as false )

im not talking about those ....
thanks for the help anyway ...

sorry if my question not that clear ...

What Mr. Zero wrote was 80% accurate.

Some advises:
1.The 'wait' action should be same as the cooldown of the spell.
2.When saying "I want to make it like Hand of Midas" will not be a specified answer because many members here are unaware of DotA.
3.Mr.Zero's trigger does not cover the fact that some 'wait' triggers won't work.

2. Indeed!
-Specially since when he says Dota he means Dota Allstars. Which is for TFT only. When someone says Dota I think of 3.7, 3.9, 4.1 and 4.2 and not of Allstars (Everyone doesn't have TFT either, so knowing what he means can be really difficult ^^)

It is not just this.

Even some experienced members do not know the word 'DotA'.

So next time be a wee bit more careful

 

[c-series]

Well ... guess i'm unaware about
1. DoTA allstars actually one from the variant
2. Some people doesn't have TFT
Sorry bout this ...

and yes ... what i meant is dota allstars ... because i do not remember any triggered cooldown item like that other than hand of midas .... btw for readers who doesn't have any idea about the item i've been talking about; hand of midas is an item in custom map dota allstars ( don't know if any other custom map with hand of midas ) compounded from glove of haste + recipe with ability to transmute ( alchemist skill ) and 60% increase in attack speed. and about the cooldown is like what i wrote earlier.

back to topic ...

Like R@d14nc3 said ( or type ) earlier ... "what mr zero was 80% accurate" ... i wonder for the other 20%...

and btw ... is it possible to create spells ;for example from slow ( sorceress ) but without unit animation ?

sorry to bother all of you ... thanks for all help in any way...

 

[R@d14nc3]

...the other 20% Mr.Zero is unaware of is in my 3rd advice.

Shh...
TELL THEM NOTHING!!

I could almost give him the trigger now

 

[c-series]

"could almost" .....

come on ... tell me please .....
( crying on the floor )

 

[Mr Zero]

A hint? Yes?

Ok...








Psst.

Over here...

"Locals"

Shh...

Search on the forum

 

[R@d14nc3]

Mr.Zero is sooo noble...

 

[phyrex1an]

There is nothing wrong with the trigger, waits are only a problem when you are using global variables and with certain bugged actions (Unit - Target of Issued Order).

 

[SFilip]

Perhaps it should use a PolledWait (Wait game time seconds) instead of a normal wait?

 

[Mr Zero]

Allright. Here is the trigger: (May have bug, leaks, etc.)

Hero Use Item
    Events
        Unit - A unit Uses an item
    Conditions
        (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to [COLOR="Blue"]<Your Item Type>[/COLOR]
    Actions
        Custom script:   local item udg_item
        Custom script:   set udg_item = GetManipulatedItem()
        Custom script:   call SetItemDroppableBJ( udg_item, false )
        Wait [COLOR="Blue"]<Your Spell Colddown>[/COLOR] seconds
        Custom script:   call SetItemDroppableBJ( udg_item, true )

First it creates a local variable called udg_item
Sets udg_item to the item being used
Makes it undroppable
Waits the spells colddown
And makes the item droppable again

Simple and easy code

Hope it helps

Your original code was just fine, there is no need for a local.

 

[c-series]
