One of Each Item

[LedZepplin]

Just wondering how to make Heroes be able to have only one of each Item type in their inventory? An example being that a Hero can only hold one weapon and one set of gloves.

event:a unit acquire item
conditon:item type of= your item
action:for each intergerA between 1 and 6; if hero carried item in slot A=your item; then item remove

Could you explain please in greater detail, i do not understand or im doing something wrong.

Okay

Okay I'm pretty new to the world editor but this is what I would do:
Create an ability that does nothing called armor
Give the item that ability
When you pick up an item check if it has an ability such as armor, helmet, weapon etc and if it does check your inventory for an item with same ability. If you do, drop the item you just picked up (or the one you have, your choice). I'm not sure if that 'armor ability' would make the ability show up on your char or not, if it works great if not I guess we will have to wait for more experienced users to reply as I would like to know about this too).



EDIT: Okay I tried it out, it works as far as the item goes, and I'm pretty sure it would be easy to make a trigger to check the item but I'm not sure, but at least we know you can make the item with an ability that labels it. Good luck!

Ok thanks i will give it a shot.

EDIT: I tried it out and there is not anything to check to see if an item has an ability.

There is no way to be able to get the ability a item has. Your suggest has given me a very good idea for doing this with HandleVars though.

To do to it with the GUI you would probably have to put every item of a type into an array then make the unit drop the item if it has another item in the array.

if item levels dont matter to you, you can use the item level to determine type.

ie

1 - armour
2 - weapon
3 - foot wear
4 - head wear
5 - shield
6 - accessory

i am sure u can check item levels. i think theres also a custom value for items. yea, use that too.

Hmm

I found this thread check it out it looks like it will help us both out:

EDIT: Actually that seems like it is only for dropping the exact same item which really isn't important to what we are looking for but what Ceph suggested seems really promising!
