So I have this trigger that removes a charge every time you reload. Problem is it sets your charges to nobody knows, and turns the item grey. Well the problem is the triggers can still run. How do you destroy an item?

Also. The check box for destroy when depleted, doesnt work because of the trigger I use.

Have a variable keep track of it. Since you are probably doing all additions/subtractions through triggers have a variable that stores how many charges they have. If you are removing charges through an ability then have a trigger which runs when a unit receives an order to use the ability and subtract from your variable.

There might be a better way, I don't have the editor right now to check it out.



None.

I ment an action that removes the item from the unit inventory.

Had a feeling that might work. Good thing theres only one instance of this item type in the player inventory at all times.

Got around to finally testing it and it worked perfectly. This topic can be closed.

Ultraviolet -- just sent you a message on Discord. I suspect you're probably trying to change unit speeds for units that don't use flingy.dat for movement (like any units that walk instead of hovering/flying). You can change their movement to flingy, but they unfortunately look more like they're gliding than walking when you do that.

Symmetry -- EE2, I've been using setdatfile successfully for units.dat and weapons.dat but the flingy changes don't seem to happen
[05:25 pm]
Ultraviolet -- in EE2 you just open DatEdit, go to the flingy tab, and make whatever changes you want. Though if you want to do dynamic shit, you have to use the trigger editor with the setdatfile action. And of course you have to inject your changes when done. Can give more specific troubleshooting advice if you provide more details
