How to make a working Hero!

[Statharas]

Welcome to
How to make a working Hero!

This tutorial will only show you the basics of Hero creation. Meaning, it will only show you how to make your hero get XP! First of all, duplicate a unit. Which will be your hero of course.

Now, this is the hard part. CLICK EVERYTHING! IT'S A MUST!

Now you got your hero! Off to behaviors! Add a new behavior.

With everything that the image has selected. Name is yours to pick. See, Veterancy is how good your unit is. As in, Experience.

Now, you have to select this lil button so that every + collapses.

Now, click this field.

This should pop up.

Add fields. These will be level 2 and so on. In my picture, there are 2 levels. Level 2 needs 20 xp, while 3 needs 30. It now automatically calculates the next level by the closes value, which is bigger than the current xp. For example, you got values 10, 40 and 30. It will automatically level up the hero at level 2 when he gets 10 xp. Then, he will go level 3 at 30 xp, and 4 at 40.

Click OK, and go back to your unit. Find Behaviors, and double click it. (Shown in the picture)

And add your behavior.
Now, simply playtest your hero with some creeps to fight with!

Look at mine!

Note that your hero will STILL EARN XP when he reaches max level, UNLIKE WC3!

would you mind to give an example of how you make the hero get stronger each lvl? at least life would be great, cause i cant figure out how to add life...

Do it via Attributes. There are tutorials for it.

Unfortunately, that isn't possible Blizz Hates us D:

You can retain veterancy after death, as of patch 1.1, as you can now modify exp with triggers.

-Requests more.
Possibly add ability levels, skill points (for abilities), etc?
