Great job with version 1.2!! It looks much better with effects.

[Rheias]

Sorry, but BUMP. I would like to hear more comments I worked very hard on this.

Why don't you use one loop? Etc.:

function RecipeSysCon ...
    ...
    local integer id    

    loop
        exitwhen pickedSlot > 5
        set id = GetItemTypeId(UnitItemInSlot(triggerer,pickedSlot))
        if id == a or id == b or id == c or id == d or id == e or id == f then
            set count = count + 1
            //exitwhen true
        endif
        set pickedSlot= pickedSlot + 1
    endloop
    ...
    if count == sum then
        set pickedSlot = 0
        loop
            exitwhen pickedSlot > 5
            set pickedItem = UnitItemInSlot(triggerer,pickedSlot)
            set id = GetItemTypeId(pickedItem)
            if id == a or id == b or id == c or id == d or id == e or id == f then
               call UnitRemoveItem(triggerer,pickedItem)
               call RemoveItem(pickedItem)
               //exitwhen true
            endif
            set pickedSlot= pickedSlot + 1
        endloop

And RemoveItem() also removes the item from the unit.

Keep it up.

I would if I could but I don't want to count the same item twice.

> And RemoveItem() also removes the item from the unit.

I had problems when only doing RemoveItem, it didn't seem to drop.

 

[Tom Jones]

I would if I could but I don't want to count the same item twice.

How in the world can you count the same item twice? That requires the player to move the item from a allready counted slot to a non-counted with the speed of light. If your scared of counting two items of the same item type, just set it's integer variable to zero once it's counted.

Thanks Rheias, I love your recipe system and Im working on a map with it (my first map), I give you all the credits

good job

> How in the world can you count the same item twice?

Sorry, what I ment is I don't want to count the same item type. Allow me to give you an example. Say I made a recipe that needs to have items A,B and finally C in order to get item D.

Thus when I got item A and B and I'm picking C, your loop will run correctly returning 3, so I will get item D. However say I had A and B and I picked another item type of B (or A, doesn't matter). What will your loop do? It will still count 3, somthing I don't want be cuase I don't have C yet. However using sveral loops will destroy this problem.

Thank you, glad to hear you like it.

Help?

Hello there! My name is Magnus, and I'm looking forward to make my own AoS game. But there is a problem, I need a good recipe system. What you have done here is really good, but I got one little problem. Everytime I try to test the map, an error message pops up showing that every "call RecipeSysSet" need a name.

It says: Line 20-26: Expected a funcion name. Those linse are the "call RecipeSysSet" triggers. Please help as fast as possible.

Thanks! // Magnus

Ahhhh! Handle Vars!

Well, I suppose I could use this as a base.

[Rheias]

Yeah, not everyone got NewGen for structs, especially in thehelper.net.

Yeh, because the good JASSers on these forums keep catering to those people.

If there's no 'need' for people to move forward (away from handle vars) then they never will.

Found a bug (i think)
I wanted to try to combine 2 of the same items 2 Claws of Attack +20 to
1 Claws of Attack +40 -> that doesn't works i get the Claws of Attack +40 after i buy ONLY 1 Claws of Attack +20. Now i put in a new Custom script that i wanted to combine 2 Claws of Attack +40
to 1 Claws of Attack +80 and i put in a Custom script thats combines 2 Claws of Attack +80 to one Claws of Attack +100.
If i test map and i buy 1 Claws of Attack +20 it combines immediately to Claws of Attack +100
Strange, i think!
can you help me?

So this means that you can't combine 2 of the same items?

 

[Rheias]

No problem in using 2 items of the same type:

Custom script: call RecipeSysSet(ItemType,ItemType,0,0,0,0)

 

[Tarhar]

Hi, ive read all the intsructions but i dind understand "B. Go to the header of the map (where you see Recipe System.w3x) and copy everything there into your map's header." which header are you talking about and where ?

 

[Cal1991]

No problem in using 2 items of the same type:

Custom script: call RecipeSysSet(ItemType,ItemType,0,0,0,0)

meh, I wanted a system that could combine 2 of the same type of item into a new item, and I thought yours could. But it doesn't work right.


I used your system to combine these items like this:
Custom script:

 call RecipeSysSet('rde3','rwiz','rwiz','belv','rst1',0,0," "," ") // slammer

And it works fine, except that you only need 1 of the 'rwiz' item.
If you pick up both the 'rwiz' first, it works fine. But if you pick up 'belv' and 'rst1' first, then as soon as you pick up ONE 'rwiz', the item merges.

y

I had same problem too,dont know how to make requirements with 2 same item type items,how to solve that?

 

[luckbox]

i need help :\
mine keeps getting this error message when i try to save:

Custom script: call RecipeSysSet(|001,brac,|00A,|00B,0,0,0,"origin","")

is this right?
