Free Heros in Altars?

[TheSporeGA1]

Hello, I'm having a problem that I can't figure out myself. How do I make a custom Hero only cost food when first being summoned like most heros?

My guess would be

Go to Object Editor>Your Hero and find this.

Stats - Lumber Cost 0
Stats - Gold Cost 0
Stats - Food Cost x

where x is how much you want it to cost.

Try setting the unit costs of the hero to 0?

I think he means when summoning the hero for the first time, then the food cost = 0, when beyond the 1st time, it'll cost gold. You could try making a trigger that changes the units sold in the Altar and set the event to be a Player Creating a Unit while the action is that you Remove other heroes and Add new heroes which cost resources.

im not sure if this will help but add your custom hero to

advanced>game play constance>Techtee - Dependency Equivalents - Hero

I can't use that. Because it's for a custom race so it would just spawn peasants at the start location.

Well use simple trigger that will after 1 sec, pick all peasants on the map and remove them!

Create black screen with fade filters and write something like loading resources, no one must to know what you are doing!

Also If you don't use peasants, delete model, set food cost to 0, change classification from worker (to remove that icon, left bottom corner on the screen), add Locust ability and do that above

i think you cant do free heroes on custom ones, but i might be wrong...
