removing an item in heroes inventory

[BacTyrael]

I am trying to get an item removed from the heroes inventory. But i cant seem to find a trigger that works.

• Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Orc Flag)

perhaps i am doing this wrong any assistance would be appreciated.

Show us the complete trigger.

The way you're removing it now it is removed from the game.
You can drop item from hero inventory, or move it to a point, too.

Tell us what you want to do with the item. If a hero picks the item up, you want remove it? Or if you want to have a wait time that when the time is finished the trigger removes the item?

    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Hero manipulating item) of type Orc Flag)
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 4.00 seconds the text: The flag has been r...
    • Sound - Play VictorySound

Its for a ctf map as a means to remove the flag after a time period since its been held to long. A new flag item is made each time so it doesnt matter if its destroyed.

btw this trigger is ran through picking up and or acquiring the flag so no event is needed.

I suggest you assign a variable to the item, in case the game forgets it.

In order to run a trigger, you need to have an event. But you also have to use a condition so that it checks if your hero have the flag or not.

Edit: Gah, beat. Still, he needs a condition

This thing in your "event":

• Event
  • Unit - A unit comes within 200.00 of The Flag 0023 <gen>

That is an event... Your trigger NEVER runs UNLESS you add an event first.

to correct myself this would be the event for horde flag time return. Sorry.

Still or not, it would need an event... But let's just focus on your first trigger.

Below: I know.

Cake you can add events via other triggers

 

[BacTyrael]

my problem is adding an event to the trigger that doesn't reset the time for which the item will be returned. Because it can be picked up by another hero.

You will need to store the variables in the first trigger because there is no Hero Manupulation item in the second

i am still learning how to properly use variables. Is there anyway i can remove the item after a set period of time. Like giving the item itself a timed life or something of that nature?

 

[Gtam]

Well maby give it an aura that affects items.
Unholy aura with -1hp regen
The items hp to 30
That means it will die in 30 seconds

have you tested this before? It only works if it's on the floor and not in a unit's inventory...

 

[Gtam]

No i havent but you could be right

does it have to be perishable i tried this and the item didnt die.

 

[Gtam]

Can you add generic expiration timer to a item

What are you guys going on about? ..
Just assign a variable to the item and then remove it when you please, like I said some 10 posts above this one. Shouldn't be a problem.
