how can i make a hero look like a building

[andreasaspenberg]

ok. exactly what did you try to do.

 

[sentess]

What he says is... He tried to play your game, and there was no crash for him.

How come this guy has 9 rep and I'm still stuck at 1? oO

 

[Tleno]

have you changed any other values or did something else like that? Becuase naturally changing hero's model ot any other model, even building, won't do that. Have you made something else too? Like gave that hero some kind of ability or something?

Dunno, altrough he's a troll, he's still more active than you. More active people get more attention. Oh, and please don't ask any more offtopic questions like this, we're trying to help. Next time you might get a -rep instead of an answer.

i have identified the crash as happening when attacking the enemy base unless the enemy is undead. it only happens with the heroes as well.

 

[Tleno]

Hmmm, now thats realy funky...
If those are not trrigers and not some kind of ability used by unit/item, I have no idea...

 

[redscores]

andreasaspenberg, you are using we unlimited, that alone makes it very possible that your map gets screwed by the old triggers and stuff, try to use the normal editor, or don't whine about bugs which might happen when you use a out-dated weu with a new world editor...

And now please, stop stealing our time.

 

[supertoinkz]

How did you know he uses WEU?

 

[sentess]

I don't know... Is it only me that thinks he keeps repeating the same, again and again and again?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i dont use world editor unlimited because it is outdated. besides, i have always used the editor that came with the game. i tried out world editor unlimited though but i dropped it because of the differences from the regular editor. i just want to solve the problem so that i can start working on the map again.

 

[Anachron]

You can't easily change from WEU back to WE/JNGP.
WEU changes your map stuff and adds functions other editors don't have.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i havent used world editor unlimited on that map at all.

 

[Anachron]

Set the movementspeed of the hero to 0 and then you'll have a tower...

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the heroes are meant to move.

 

[Anachron]

But it's impossible for wc3 for an hero being moveable and a building.
It's not supposed to be that way.

But still, try reinstalling wc3, since mine doesn't crash.

When I open the map it says that the version is outdated. You are aware of that?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i am using the latest version of the game.

 

[Anachron]

You know you could use morph to update your hero it will solve some issues.

 

[Netherdrake]

How about you make a new hero and then use the old settings?

 

[Rui]

If it says the map has been saved with an outdated version of the editor, you are using an outdated version. If it says it's using a more recent version, then you're using WEU, assuming the person who tried to open it has installed patch 1.24 (the latest).

I sincerely hope I do not have to give negative reputation to anyone. No one is forcing any of you to post here. If you have nothing contributory to add, don't post. I'm hoping that, if I ever check this thread again, I don't have to read messages such as these:

Omfg

*facepalm*

you have got to be kidding me

Are you sure you're not clicking on the secret, hidden , invisible ''make the game crash'' button ?

A few of these people received 0 reputation as a warning, but posting these kinds of messages again will result in a negative reputation gift for any of you, even if it's your only post in this thread.

This little example shows you how to make buildable heroes that are treated as buildings and can attack without any bugs, I gave them some items to sell so you can see they are treated as buildings.

Have fun.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the hero in that map doesnt get experience. the heroes in my map is meant to look like buildings but work like heroes.

 

[Spectre4802]

So let me get this straight...

Your unit is a hero, and (presumably) has a few abilities that heroes can get, but doesn't earn experiance and therefore cannot improve those abilities through normal means.

So, if that's the case, why is there any reason for them to be heroes? Why can't they be regular units with a backpack?
Is it so the hero/buildings have Strength, Agility ect?

 

[Anachron]

There is something in the gameplay constants that buildings don't give and don't get experience. You might want to change that (I can't remember where though).

Additionally, you can also give experience with triggers.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the heroes in my map gets experience. the hero in the map some other person posted here doesnt.
