Ok so Below I put a category from a quest I am working on. I ran into some problems and wondered if anyone could spot it because I have no idea. Firstly, unlike all my other quests, this exclamation point I give the character does not go away for some reason. Also, when I am removing one item and dropping another, It does not remove the item from the hero's inventory. Finally when I turnt he quest in I receive none of the rewards.....My previous quest is modeled almost the same way and works just fine... Thoughts?

use WC3 tags around your code

wtf?
Trigger:
  • ((Entering unit) is A Hero) Equal to ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Venom)


you need to enable antivenom[1] quest in the previous trigger
Trigger:
  • (AntiVenom[1] is enabled) Equal to True


in that trigger, there is no hero manipulating item
the event is a unit comes within 200 of DewShine...
Trigger:
  • Set DewshineComplete[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] = (DewshineComplete[(Player number of (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)))] + 1)


your group leaks

there is no hero manipulating the item, as stated above the event is different
Trigger:
  • Player - Add 200 to (Owner of (Item being manipulated)) Current gold


useless conditon:
Trigger:
  • ((Triggering unit) Equal to (Hero manipulating item))


you need to specify exactly which item.. make an item variable and put the AntiDote in that variable
Trigger:
  • Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)


only use Hero manipulating item in the conditions/actions if the event is related to anything about item...
 
haha..now I feel stupid...I didn't notice I did that to be honest. I was skrewing with this on no sleep, but also I have not done many posts how do I WC tag? and also, That mistake doesn't effect two of the stupid problems I am having. I am sure I effed up somewhere else too, but I can't see it. jJust need fresh eyes I think.

Oh, thanks lol, posted as I posted. I will change those, I have not been doing triggers for very long so sometimes I get confused with where I am going with it.

Ok so I changed all of those, and hopefully now that I get it this is more on track. Now that I did this though, my region event where venom turns into anti-venom doesn't work at all. It doesn't display txt, It doesn't make the anti-dote, and it doesn't remove item....ugh I am so lost :banghead: I am doing something horribly wrong

EDIT: accidentally messed up the pasting some how
 
now that you got the WC3 tag thing down, lets work on posting the correct triggers...

you have 6 of the same triggers...

the condition in the above 6 triggers are screwed up...

from:
((Triggering unit) Equal to (Hero manipulating item)) and ((Item being manipulated) Equal to (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Antidote))

to:
(Item-type carried by (Triggering unit) equal to Antidote)
 
lol, ya not sure what I did, but it dud the same one 6 times on accident noticed, and changed =) sorry about that lol.
 
in your first trigger...

wtf? shouldn't it be Last Created Effect
Trigger:
  • Set QuestEffects[1] = QuestEffects[1]


in your second trigger... (i'm actually not familiar with quest..) but is there an action that says Enable Quest? if so, you need to
Trigger:
  • Enable AntiVenom[1]

in your fourth trigger, in the conditions
Trigger:
  • Antivenom2[1] Equal to Venom

what does that mean?
and
Set Point = (Center of Region 015 <gen>)
...actions... replace all the (Center of Region 015 <gen>) with the location variable Point
Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)

in your fifth trigger
replace this:
Trigger:
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Hero - Add 250 experience to (Triggering unit), Show level-up graphics
      • Player - Add 200 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

with:
Trigger:
  • Set Tempgroup = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Tempgroup) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Add 250 experience to (Picked unit), Show level-up graphics
        • Player - Add 200 to (Owner of (Picked unit)) Current gold
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Tempgroup)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Thank you for all of your help! I just got on and checked, and almost everything works properly now, the only thing that doesnt is the experience to heroes portion. I don't know how to do JASS or anything like that, so not sure what I am supposed to do from here.

    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.

    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
