removing an item in heroes inventory

[BacTyrael]

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.

sorry i avoided this answer because i suck at variables. But i will learn and do so thx.

uh exide could you point me toward a tutorial or something. Im not sure if the item type variable should have a trigger or how to remove it once ive established its value.

Here read this

Try this trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit aquires an item
  • Conditions
  • Item type of (Item being manipulated) Equal to *Your_Flag_Item*
  • Actions
  • set *Item_Variable* = (Item being manipulated)
  • Wait 30 seconds
  • If (Triggering Unit) has *Item_Variable*
  • then
  • Item - Remove *Item_Variable*
  • Game - Display to (All players) for 4.00 seconds the text: The flag has been r...
  • Sound - Play VictorySound
  • else

i cannot find the

• If (Triggering Unit) has *Item_Variable*

condition for the life of me.

 

[Exide]

It should be under Boolean comparison, or Item Comparison.
I wrote the trigger on top of my mind, since I don't have WE with me atm.
It should be something like: 'Unit/Hero has Item'.

so has is really equal to?

Obviously, yes.

 

[BacTyrael]

• ((Triggering unit) has an item of type Flag_Horde_Remove) Equal to True

i will update this post when im down with the trigger.

 

[Exide]

I don't know what you just said, but I found out what the condition really looks like:

• Conditions
  • ((Triggering unit) has *Item_Variable*) Equal to True

EDIT: Don't use 'Item of Type', it's not the same as 'Item'.

found it!

 

[Exide]

It is just next to 'Item of Type'.

If you still can't find it, you can use 'Item of Type', but then you might as well remove the Item Variable completely.

Do you have Reign of Chaos or The Frozen Throne?

I think it looks correct... but in a original CTP game, you bring a flag and you take it to a circle before you die... why is your trigger different?

 

[Exide]

that look correct?

Yes it does. Try it and see if it does what you want.

Now, may I ask what the meaning of this trigger is?
If a unit picks up the Orc Flag, it waits 30 seconds then the flag is removed + a message is displayed.
No score counter or anything?

its made so you cant turn the flag in if your flag is missing and this whole troublesome trigger was to return the flag if its been gone for to long. but if it resets the timer after its acquired again i will have to figure a way around this all over again.

 

[BacTyrael]

well it works and this should prevent it from being reset because its a variable right?

Well, I'm not quite sure what you want to do here.
Is there more than one flag in the game?
If a unit picks up the flag, waits 20 seconds, drops the flag and picks it up again it might be removed within 10 seconds. (Bug.)

To fix that you should use a timer, and variable. Then you'll need another trigger.

Every CTP games have two circles and two flags and 8 people. The person who has the flag brings to the circle for points. It works vica versa.

But, why don't your trigger has to give points?

 

[BacTyrael]

you get points i would have to post all of them they are probably more work then i should've done. and could have been done with variables. and yeah it resets itself when i have the strength i will learn how to incorporate a timer with it.
