I might be about to adjust something to do with shared.CrateItem though.
Trying to decide whether to or not. I'll keep you posted. Sorry if it
causes any inconvenience to anyone. The rewards are definitely worth it.

Try having a temporary unit that drops the item on death, and the gem creation skills summoning that unit. Have it spawn at 0 hp or whatever, something to make it die immediately the instant it is spawned on the map. I remember having to do this for my own maps for some reason.

I sort of guessed it wouldn't work, but I thought I'd try it out anyway. Since units can drop items that didn't already exist when they die, though, shouldn't it be possible to make a flag for creating items while the unit/structure is still standing? I've let that issue be for the moment, but I would still like it to be an option in the future.
