Morphing Hero disables Inventory.

[CYBER_Aeon]

I have a hero in my map that uses the ability 'Bear Form' to transform into a bear. So far, it works beautifully. In order to balance out the power though, I decided to make items in his inventory unusable while he's in Bear Form. (Besides, normal armor isn't going to fit a bear and I doubt he's very handy with a blade)

So I made a copy of the 'Inventory (Hero)' ability called 'Inventory (Hero, Inactivate)' and gave it to the Morphed version of the Hero.

PROBLEM: When the Hero activates or deactivates 'Bear Form' now, he drops all of the items in his inventory.

Anybody know how I can get the items to stay on the hero during the transformation? The end goal is that the Hero needs to be carrying all of the items, but not be able to use them while in the Bear Form. Keep in mind, this needs to be MUI. It's in a map with a lot of heroes, and there's that rare possibility that there will be two Druids in the game, and even that they may both activate Bear Form at the same instance.

+Rep if anybody can help me with this.

give the alt form hero unit inventory not hero invetory

 

[diamondhero5]

object editor>abilities-default abilities> invintory(hero) to morphed unit

then gives all the items in the heros inv to the new one

That's basically what I did. But because it's a different inventory ability, it makes the Hero drop all of the items.

I don't want the morphed hero to have the same hero inventory either, because then he can use the items.

o u mean when the hero morphs back he doesnt have any of his items?

if yes then just give it to him with triggers

Thanks. That should help a lot. +Rep.

You had the right idea too, but Down actually gave me a trigger to use.

 

[diamondhero5]

you should of told me to put it into a trigger
i would of
i just didnt understand wat u were asking

 

[CYBER_Aeon]

Sorry. I tried to explain as best I could. :-(

 

[diamondhero5]

its ok, you got wat u needed; all that matters

Its kinda easy, since you will want to make it such that he cant use his ability during the "Bear" form, Just make a unit with an Inventory of a normal Hero, detect the morphing with a trigger, Confiscate all items from him and store it in a variable like

HeroItem[] - Item Variable
HeroItemCharge[] - Integer Variable

Then Remove ability "Inventory - Hero"
Then when the hero transforms back, add all the item back to him again. That will work fine, since if you disable inventory, the hero will not even benefit from passive bonus the item gives.

 

[CYBER_Aeon]

Hmm. I really like that idea. It seems like the cleanest, but it's not really MUI, is it? If more than one player tries to morph at a time, it'll get mixed up, wouldn't it?

 

[Somatic]

Idea Here
HeroItem1[X] - HeroItem6[X]
Thats for inventory number from 1 - 6 and X is for player number

HeroItemCharge1[X] - HeroItemCharge6[X]
Same Idea, bascially means you have the Players number to be the pointer to the corret item. hope it works! =)

Alright, I like it. Thanks, Somatic! +Rep.
