How can I make it so that a normal unit (NOT a hero) does not drop the items it was carrying when it dies?

**Note: These units have a modified Inventory (Hero) ability.

"make (item) undropable" dont work?

*edit :
something like this :
Trigger:
  • Your Trigger
    • Events
      • (whenever you want)
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unitgroup - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Triggering unit) is a Hero) equal to False)) and do (Actions)
            • Loop - Action
              • Item - Make (Item carried by (Picked unit) in slot (Integer A)) undropable


it should work^^

No, they need to be undroppable on death. Not undroppable period. Besides if I were to use the event, A unit dies, with that trigger it would be too late because the items would have dropped because the unit is already dead.

Any other suggestions?

Use the condition:
"Is a Hero equal to false"

Event:
Unit dies

Condition:
Is a Hero equal to false

Action:
Drop item of triggering unit

Note: BTW, this is freehanded so it might not look EXACTLY the same as the triggers in WE. :p

Basically in my map you control a mortar team (not a hero) and you can buy and use items. If your mortar team dies then it drops its items. I DO NOT want this to happen.

Event:
Every 1 second of game-time

Condition:

Action:
Pick every unit in playable area matching unit-type of matching unit is equal to mortar team
Loop Action -
Item - Make item carried by (picked unit) in slot 1 undroppable
Item - Make item carried by (picked unit) in slot 2 undroppable
Item - Make item carried by (picked unit) in slot 3 undroppable
Item - Make item carried by (picked unit) in slot 4 undroppable
Item - Make item carried by (picked unit) in slot 5 undroppable
Item - Make item carried by (picked unit) in slot 6 undroppable

Notes:
You can use an integer variable for the numbers (1 - 6) if you don't want to add that many actions.
If you want to make sure that the mortar team is not a hero, use the If/Then/Else, Multiple Functions trigger. :p

oh man its much harder than i thought....but i think ive got a solution^^

Trigger:
  • Your Trigger
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit drops an item
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Mortar_team
    • Actions
      • Item - Pick every item in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Action
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • 'IF'-Conditions
              • (Picked item) equal (Last dropped item)
            • 'THEN'-Actions
              • Item - Remove (Picked item)
              • //// OR ////
              • Item - Move (Picked item) to (Position of triggering unit)
              • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Right click (Picked item)
            • 'ELSE'-Aktionen
              • Do nothing


if your mortar team is NOT revived use the remove picked item. if they are revived use the move picked item to (...) . if your reviving takes some time add a wait...

and if you wanna say "they shouldnt be dropped"....sorry thats not possible i think as long as they are no hero unit. could be but i dont know a way. sorry for that.

that trigger should work.

greetz happy

p.s. if you want the items not be able to be stolen/seen hide them. this way round they are not seen and back in the inventory when the mortar gets revived.

*edit : JuiceBox this solution i made some time ago^^

I figured it out. The solution was so easy, I'm embarrassed.

Trigger:
  • dont drop items on death
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Loses an item
    • Conditions
      • ((Triggering unit) is dead) Equal to True
      • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Dwarven Mortar Team (Custom)
          • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Goblin Mortar Team (Custom)
    • Actions
      • Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)

You could also go into the object editor and find your inventory ability and change:

Data - Drop Items On Death = False

It doesn't seem like you want to save the items for a player revival so this would work perfectly.

You can't do that because a normal unit will always drop its items on death. That field is for heroes only.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
