Change unit depending on what item in slot 1

Mon 24 Dec 2007, 12:31

I need a trigger that changes the unit u are using depending on what item is in slot 1
for example
slot1=empty -> Unit=UnarmedDude
slot1=Handgun -> Unit=handgun dude with same current hp/mana etc

you are triggering today? ^_^

anyway, you know i don't have WE atm, but if i remember correctly it would be something like:

Code:: EVENT Unit acquired an item COND ACTIONS if Item in slot 1 equal to handgun (should be boolean comparison...) then Unit - Replace Unit with unit-type handgunner if Item in slot 1 equal to shotgun then Unit - Replace with shotgunner etc...

the second one below is for being unarmed:

Code:: EVENT Unit looses an item COND Item slot 1 is empty (i believe that cond exists in booleans as well) ACTIONS Unit - replace with Unit (Unarmed)

Doesn't have Wc3 on my new computer but i think you are right, replacing the unit with a dummy unit is the only way it should work.

But then I will have to drop the item and pick it up to get the trigger to run right?
I could have something that looks every 2sec or so, but that would slow down a lot.

EDIT: Well I tested sunnys idea and well it worked as far as picking up an item before the game crashed >_> I must have made something wrong.

Code:: Ninemm Events Unit - A unit Acquires an item Conditions Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot 1) Equal to (Item carried by (Triggering unit) of type 9mmNightHawk) Then - Actions Unit - Replace (Triggering unit) with a 9mmNightHawk using The old unit's relative life and mana Else - Actions

geez, if just my WE would freaking work! did it crash because of this code btw?

1) ok, is it necessary to have it restricted to a specific slot? in DotDS i would have solved it with restricting 1 weapon per inventory (let only pick up 1 weapon, if you want another, you'd have to drop your current one).

2) would it probably be possible to replace the unit when clicking on the item? or you used that for reloading or something already?

3) besides that, i don't know exactly if the acquired item is already "connected" to slot1 when picking it up. you could try a small wait (0.1) just before the if-then-else.
