Hi guys I am making a map where you ( as in dota ) should be able to pick up some items and then get another more powerful one. The problem is that I want for 2 identical items to meld to one powerful one and I can't make this using the ordenary triggers 'cause it will give the new item as soon as you pick up one. What can I do about it using GUI?

Use this:

• Recipe
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Recipe: Shiny Axe of Strength) Equal to True
        • ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Gauntlets of Ogre Strength +3) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Count = 0
        • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Axe
              • Then - Actions
                • Set Count = (Count + 1)
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • Count Equal to 1
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Set Slot = (Integer A)
                  • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • Count Equal to 2
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))
                    • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot Slot)
                    • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Recipe: Shiny Axe of Strength)
                    • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Gauntlets of Ogre Strength +3)
                    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
                    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint using Abilities\Spells\Undead\ReplenishHealth\ReplenishHealthCaster.mdl
                    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint using Abilities\Spells\Human\DispelMagic\DispelMagicTarget.mdl
                    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
                    • Hero - Create Shiny Axe of Strength and give it to (Triggering unit)
                  • Else - Actions
              • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions

If you only want two identical items, just remove the "If" and keep the Integer A loop, like this:

• Recipe
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Count = 0
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Axe
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Count = (Count + 1)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Count Equal to 1
              • Then - Actions
                • Set Slot = (Integer A)
              • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Count Equal to 2
              • Then - Actions
                • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))
                • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot Slot)
                • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Recipe: Shiny Axe of Strength)
                • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type Gauntlets of Ogre Strength +3)
                • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
                • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint using Abilities\Spells\Undead\ReplenishHealth\ReplenishHealthCaster.mdl
                • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempPoint using Abilities\Spells\Human\DispelMagic\DispelMagicTarget.mdl
                • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
                • Hero - Create Shiny Axe of Strength and give it to (Triggering unit)
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

And to change the two identical items needed for this, simply change the condition which looks like this:

• (Item-type of (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))) Equal to Axe

EGUI Has a recipe trigger that comes with it.

Okay

So you use a count function to see if there is more than one gauntles of str on the hero inventory? I think I used boolean and that only checks whether or not the hero has none or one/more of the item. I am not quite sure which kinds of variables you use but I am going to try this trigger... Looks very long for such a "simple" game function T_T.

PS: there is no way that you can copy triggers from Thehelper.net and paste them in the trigger editor is there?

There are only two variables in that trigger, Count (An "Integer" variable) and TempPoint (A "Point" variable)

Hehe, nope
You'll have to try it for youself

 

[CBBPhoenix]

Testing done

Works perfectly no matter where the required items are in the Hero inventory. You're win mate

Thanks a lot. Approved

 

[Komaqtion]

Hehe, thanks

Glad you like it

Set Slot = (Integer A) I can figure out how to put it in if i only made those other two triggers
