This probably doesn't belong here

Can anyone help me find an easier way to make a trigger that;
-When unit x uses an item then an ability will be added to that unit x and the item removed.

- To remove the ability, there's another unit y with an ability that removes the ability from unit x and adds the item to unit x's inventory that the ability originally came from.

-I need unit x to be able to have 4 abilities in the following button positions;
0,2 1,2 2,2 3,2. All of them removable.

-unit y also has 4 abilities (in the same button position as unit x) but these are to remove each of unit x's abilities.

I've tried it for one ability and it works fine, but as soon as i try to add a second ability from an item nothing happens.

Here are my triggers so far
TO ADD THE ABILITY

Code:: Bowgun add
Events
Unit - A unit Uses an item
Conditions
Actions
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 15, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Bowgun[(Integer A)]
Then - Actions
Unit - Add Bowguns[(Integer A)] to (Triggering unit)
Else - Actions

TO REMOVER THE ABILITY
TO REMOVE THE ABILITY

Code:: Bowgun remove
Events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Weapon to Item
Actions
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 15, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
Then - Actions
Unit - Remove Bowguns[(Integer A)] from Heros[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
Hero - Create Bowgun[(Integer A)] and give it to Heros[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
Else - Actions

Let me know if you need anymore information :O.

yeah, need a lot more info; what do your variables represent? Obviously 'heroes' is set to the players hero; what is bowguns(integer A) That is, you set all 15 integers to what? An item? Various items?

However, to clarify your problem, assuming Bowguns(A) are your skills? and Bowgun(A) are your items, correct? At the start, you check for the item being used to cast the spell; so you will only get a skill based on whichever item you are using to make the transfer of items to skills.

Your second trigger, if you do not need a condition in the if/then/else statement, then simply use the actions, it will be smoother. And your problem with the second trigger is:

Code:: Hero - Create Bowgun[(Integer A)] and give it to Heros[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]

This will give your hero all 15 arrays of bowgun.

^^Yeah... There's a trigger missing here, if glorn's response didn't help, we're gonna need to see where your variables were set.

Well. Well I think u need an integrer b and change the the name from bowgun to gunbow.That should fix your problems.

2+2 is 39 and a piece of pie.

Sorry just ignore me. I just wanted to say something stupid and waaalahhhh^^^ there it is

Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions

Then - Actions
Set Heros[1] = (Picked unit)
Else - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
Then - Actions
Set Heros[2] = (Picked unit)
Else - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions
(Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 8 (Pink)
Then - Actions
Set Heros[8] = (Picked unit)
Else - Actions

I have yet to add more items/abilities for the bowgun variables.
but so far it's just;
[code]Variables 1
Events
Map initialization
Conditions
Actions
Set Bowgun[1] = Bowgun
Set Bowguns[1] = Bowgun
[code]

That's all i've done for it so far
Bowgun = item-type (array 15)
Bowguns = Ability (array 15)

I need to make a similar trigger to another 5 abilities that have 15 types [arrays] (not levels but upgrades if you like) so 6 "weapons" and each of them have 15 types.
