removing an item in heroes inventory

[Dest]

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.

It's very easy to add a timer - you're going to have set some variables, some triggers and that's it.

This is how I would've done it:

• Acquire Item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • Flag Equal to Flag
  • Actions
    • Countdown Timer - Start ItemRemoveTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 30.00 seconds
    • Set Flag_Horde_Remove = (Item being manipulated)
    • Set FlagCourier = (Triggering unit)

• Remove Item
  • Events
    • Time - ItemRemoveTimer expires
  • Conditions
    • (FlagCourier has Flag_Horde_Remove) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Item - Remove Flag_Horde_Remove

EDIT: Even better is to move the item to where it was spawned.
EDIT #2: At Cake: There are three variables.

  • Conditions
    • (FlagCourier has Flag_Horde_Remove) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Item - Remove Flag_Horde_Remove

Only one variable? I thought you need 2? (for timer)

flag recapture for player 1

that's how my system works. you can only score when your flags at base. and both sides flags can be up at a time. which is why turtling a flag can be bad.

No, it's the same timer. It just resets the timer each time a unit picks up the flag.

Actually I could be wrong, but the countdown timer leaks, I think. You need to put this custom script and destroy the timer:

Custom script: call DestroyTimer( udg_ItemRemoveTimer )

alright this means i can change it so that when the flag drops it returns to base. or find a way to keep the timer from resetting because then people can just juggle and turtle all game.
