Purchasing item

[Rainther]

The solution is probably very simple; anyways here goes. I create an unit (non-building) that can sell items. If I make it my own team I can buy items, but they're dropped to the ground. I tried to make a trigger with unit sells item give item to unit thingie, but it failed.
So either: what player do I need to declare in order for me to buy items normally? Neutral passive doesn't seem to do the trick;
or what event and action is needed to give bought item to certain unit.

My unit isn't a hero; is that a problem?

Post here your trigger, to see what is wrong.
Btw: have your shop ability Select Unit?

 

[Rainther]

Not much to show, really:

• Unit - A unit Sells an item (from shop)
  • Hero - Give (Sold Item) to Declared Unit

Adding Select Unit didn't do the trick

it could be that, units may not be able to use items the way heroes do

 

[Rainther]

Well I'm not using the item, just handing it over..

There's a Unit - Shop Share or Shop - Shared or something like that somewhere in the object editor which should be set to true.

Can't find it, feel free to gimme a screenie.

hey dude
i think what you do is go to the shop, check the box that says "Stats - Is a Building" then put the items you want to sell in the "Techtree - Items Made" (not items sold!) and then recheck the "Stats - Is a Building" to make it a unit again. the "Techtree - Items Made" will disapear from the object editor but in game the unit shop still sells the items.
hope that is what your after
