Weird Happening with an Item Trigger

[aussj4link]

In my map I made a trigger that would create a random item somewhere on the map every 2 minutes but the item will only be there for 30 seconds then disappear unless it has been picked up. It seems to be working fine until it randomly picks a tome and then for some reason if the tome is not picked up in the time limit it stays, all other items have been disappearing like their supposed to. These are the Triggers if anyone can point out whats wrong It would be most helpful.

• Trigger Turn On
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 300.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Spawn Items <gen>

(this is so that it will wait 5 minutes before it starts spawning items.)

• Spawn Items
  • Events
    • Time - Every 120.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Item - Create (Random level -1 item-type) at (Random point in (Playable map area))
    • Set PickedUpItem = (Last created item)
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Last created item) Equal to PickedUpItem
      • Then - Actions
        • Item - Remove (Last created item)
      • Else - Actions
        • Do nothing

• Change Item
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Last created item) Equal to PickedUpItem
  • Actions
    • Set PickedUpItem = (Matching item)

This one changes the last created item to something else, anything but the last created item. changing it to Matching Item should in theory make it so that the 2nd trigger no longer thinks it the last created item and wont remove it from the game, this way people can pick up the item and not have it be removed a few seconds after they picked it up lol.

Like I said the main problem here is that this is working for everything but tomes, for some reason if its an item that consumable on the spot it will stay, thanks for your help!

Ok, since I posted this Ive been testing this out a lot and found that if any item is picked up while the randomly created item is on the map, the item wont disappear. I need the item to not disappear only if the random item is picked up. I know this is possible because if you have ever played Castle Fight with crazy coins on, several coins spawn and you have to grab as many as you can before they all disappear. In that map you can pick up the coins and any other coins will disappear if they are not picked up. Any help at all on this would be really appreciated, thanks

This is exactly what your second trigger does.

First, waits 30 seconds, then removes it. Did I misinterpret or?

    • Set PickedUpItem = (Last created item)
    • Wait 30.00 seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

thats how your triggers should look like.

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (PickedUpItem is owned) Equal True
  • Then - Actions
    • Item - Remove PickedUpItem
  • Else - Actions

The item should be removed if the item is not claimed in 30 seconds, so I believe the Remove PickedUpItem should be in the else statement:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (PickedUpItem is owned) Equal True
  • Then - Actions
    • Do Nothing
  • Else - Actions
    • Item - Remove PickedUpItem

I am to assume TmpPnt is a region variable right? if so where do you find to set to random point in playable map area, I found "Region - Move" but thats it. BTW this looks like it would definetly work, just gotta find a few things lol.

Edit: Actually never mind I think I found it:

• Set ItemRegion = (Region centered at (Random point in (Playable map area)) with size (10.00, 10.00))

I hope that will work.

Edit 2: aww crap I think I did something wrong, it wont let me save, says there is an error, sorry I'm so dense here I don't know nearly what you guys know about map making.

• Spawn Items
  • Events
    • Time - Every 20.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set ItemRegion = (Region centered at (Random point in (Playable map area)) with size (10.00, 10.00))
    • Item - Create (Random level -1 item-type) at (Random point in ItemRegion)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_ItemRegion)
    • Set PickedUpItem = (Last created item)
    • Wait 10.00 seconds
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (PickedUpItem is owned) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Do nothing
      • Else - Actions
        • Item - Remove PickedUpItem

Edit 3: Ha Ha! got it to work only problem is if the item is removed from my inventory before the time limit is up it will still disappear, but I suppose that will have to do. Thanks so much for all of your help.
