How To Create A Hero Tavern

Larhalt · May 26, 2008

Hi to all, i'm new ^^

First of all, sorry for my bad english, I'm Italian

Congratulations for your coll tut, but I don't have the voice that you selected in the Gameplay - Constant (my worldeditor is in italian).

How can I add the hero to the game constant if I can't find the string?

Flame_Phoenix · May 27, 2008

MMM, Larhalt, I am afraid you will have to use a translator for that purpose, there is little I can do to help =S

Larhalt · May 27, 2008

I mean that I don't have any string with any name, only with a number..

Flame_Phoenix · May 27, 2008

mmmmmm can you post a screenshot ?

Larhalt · May 27, 2008

There's the whole windows of the Costant - Gameplay.

Flame_Phoenix · May 27, 2008

MMmm, worry not, you shall have an answer as soon as I have time to evaluate your pictures (lucky you i can understand little Italian lol).

Pandarian-Warrior · May 29, 2008

question: how do i remove the hero i just selected from the tavern so no one else can select that hero???? (sorry if im interupting a conversation just im stuck)

Flame_Phoenix · May 29, 2008

Mmm, no problem pandarian, we already fixed Larhalt's problem when i spoke with him by msn a few days ago.
About your problem, it is now complicated.
I don't know how to do it yet, but i shall teach you how to do it once i find time to.

EDIT
I am sorry to say i don't have time to update the tutorial neither to help you as i would like to.
However, you may like to see this template, i am sure it will help

can you make a tutorial on how to import files? cause im entirely clueless. :spell_breaker:

Flame_Phoenix · Jun 23, 2008

that depends on the file you want to import.
If you want to import an icon, than read me icon tutorial, there is everything explained there.
However if it is a skin or a model, you'll have to look for tutorials, because i don't talk much about those.

cheesyqueesy · Jul 12, 2008

Couldnt u just create a custom tavern and put custom heroes in it???
It would be way easier.

Flame_Phoenix · Jul 12, 2008

It would be easier, but that way you wouldn't learn how to make new heroes.
You don't like creating heroes, than skip that section ahead, I am sure many people found that information useful.

Celestamine · Jul 31, 2008

WOW! This tutorial was really helpful! I have just 1 question. Why do we have to do this "Now that our hero is done, we have to add him to the Gameplay Constants in order to make the computer accept this new created unit as a Hero one. "? Would it be the same if I just make it a hero in the stats place? Instead of the Gameplay Constants? and How do I make the hero available on a set time? (the cooldown it has at the start)

Flame_Phoenix · Jul 31, 2008

We have to do this to prevent allow you to have things like tier2 tier3 and so on and to allow only 1 hero of a type.
ABut the second question just look into the object editor. Your hero will have a field about Stock replenish and Start delay.
Btw +rep is always appreciated =P

Celestamine · Jul 31, 2008

Ahhh... How do I make the tavern stop selling the hero after someone bought it?

Flame_Phoenix · Jul 31, 2008

Stop Sell
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Player - Make Footman Unavailable for training/construction by Player 1 (Red)

On Player - Set construction/availablity of unit to a player.

Celestamine · Jul 31, 2008

and the event would be me buying the unit? but what if there are lots of heroes and lots of players? would the code just be the same? o.o?

Flame_Phoenix · Jul 31, 2008

and the event would be me buying the unit? but what if there are lots of heroes and lots of players? would the code just be the same? o.o?

MMMmmm you are confused, try this code:

Remove Unit
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Sells a unit
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Equal to Footman
- Actions
  - Neutral Building - Remove Footman from all marketplaces

When the tavern sells the unit, we remove the sold unit from all taverns. Easy =)

mahi_96 · Aug 1, 2008

nice and thx

:thumbs_up:

Good job man! This was perfect and helped alot! :thumbs_up:

Flame_Phoenix · Aug 8, 2008

Ok I have a lots of people with this question, so here is a very simple answer you all can use.

Question:

Hey I think your Tavern Tutorial was great it helped me alot in making my new map. But do you know how to make so that if like Player 1 buy a unit it get teleported to player 1's base and if player 2 buy a unit it get teleported to player 2's base

Buy Unit
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Sells a unit
- Conditions
  - (Owner of (Sold unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
- Actions
  - Unit - Move (Sold unit) instantly to (Center of (Player1Region))
  - Camera - Pan camera for Player 1 (Red) to (Center of (Player1Region)) over 2.00 seconds

About:

Now tell me how do I make it so there is no 'capital' building or lets say (peons) around where I set my starting points?

Please explain your idea better and in a decent way here, so all can benefit from the experience.

Hope it helps you guys =)

Hero Transfer is wrong

You can do this as an alternative hero moving trigger:
Just create a region that covers the hero tavern and do this-
=========================================================
event
a unit enters region
condition
none
Action
if owner of entering unit is equals to allies of player (scourge/sentinel/etc), move entering unit to region (hero starting point/like in dota) else do nothing.
=========================================================
I highly recommend this trigger if you want to have your map an Allpick command or repick.

I could do that, but that way we wouldn't have circles.
You also can have allpic and repick options with my code if you use your brains.
Still, my hero transfer DOES WORK, however remember that this is coding, there are several ways of achieving the same purpose.

thanks for Tutorial it realy helped

About? My map? that was unfinished. :slp:

But i think real owner of it dies.

Shadowy_Demonic · Oct 12, 2008

why is it that when i test my bought unit isnt moved to the region i wanna move it to? for eksample the middle of map

jygia · Oct 31, 2008

Thank You Very much Just what i needed.

Halekblade · Nov 19, 2008

I am in general, quite new to the use of the world editor. Even though ive been able to create decent maps using techniques such as taverns they havent seen to come out good enough. My problem was using regions and triggers. This tutorial has helped me alot and so i congratulate you for helping me as well as others learn to make succesful maps. I have recently found this site and so all im wondering now is how i can make the heroes hold items and such (weapons) ive been able to find the vast list of custom items and heroes that were posted but i am having trouble with importing and using them.

Once again i congratulate mr phoenix for this tutorial and since i know not where to put this post, hopefully someone can redirect me to other tutorials?

thanx

Creepydread · Dec 2, 2008

I have a question, whenever I make a hero (example: a ninja) and put it into a tavern, when I buy that ninja hero, unlike other heroes, I can buy as many ninja heroes as I wanted like a unit. How can I limit the number ninja heroes I can buy?

Monkeybox · Feb 14, 2009

Thanks a whole lot, Phoenix. I didn't knew how to make a useful set of triggers on my map, and i circled around it with lots of useless triggers.

+repped o/

If you could also add how to remove units from being bought in a tavern after all players got theirs, would be good.

Just remove the taverns from the game =P

SuperCoke · Feb 20, 2009

Hm For the Hero Chooser Unit trigger.. usually this works doesnt it?

Actions
- Map Initialization
Condiitions
- Player slot (player 1 red) equal to playing
Actions
- Create 1 Hero Chooser Unit for Player 1 Red at (Center of(Region))

That seems better doesnt it?
But anyway thats my Opinion,

Nice tutoriall aswell

Flame_Phoenix · Feb 20, 2009

Actions
- Map Initialization
Condiitions
- Player slot (player 1 red) equal to playing
Actions
- Create 1 Hero Chooser Unit for Player 1 Red at (Center of(Region))

Actually it is impossible to work, because you have 2 times actions, and in GUI you can only have it 1 time.
If it is an event, it may work in fact =P

Nice tutorial as well

Thx =D

Lol, I just can't stop. Men has the ability to learn so he can teach, that is how I see it =D

FriXionX · Apr 6, 2009

1 question: how do you remove the unit you bought from the tavern? so you cant buy the hero again, (removes their picture from the tavern)

I think this helps =D

FriXionX · Apr 7, 2009

I was thinking it should be something like that, but ive never seen that trigger before. I was looking in Unit - Remove but that just totally removes them from the game :hohum:

xD
Thx.
Ah but is there a way you could put it so you dont have to refer to the unit? Like:

Hero sell GOOD TAVERN
- Events
  - Unit - Heroes (Good) 0036 <gen> Sells a unit
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Selling unit)) Equal to Heroes (Good)
- Actions
  - Unit - Remove (Buying unit) from the game
  - Unit - Move (Sold unit) instantly to (Center of good spawn <gen>)
  - Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Buying unit)) to (Center of good spawn <gen>) over 1.00 seconds
  - Neutral Building - Remove (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) from all marketplaces

But that doesnt work, i dont know what im doing wrong
Edit: You should put that in your tutorial

Flame_Phoenix · Apr 7, 2009

Remove Unit
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Sells a unit
- Actions
  - Neutral Building - Remove Sold Unit from all marketplaces

This will work for all units and ALL buildings that sell units.
=)

FriXionX · Apr 7, 2009

Thx

Edit: It doesnt work :sigh:
I cant find your "Remove sold unit from all marketplaces"
I can only find Neutral Building - Remove (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) from all marketplaces
Even if i put a Paladin for sale, even Neutral Building - Remove Paladin from all marketplaces doesnt remove it if i buy it?

Mmm, that seems odd it doesn't work as it should.
Ok I made a few tests, and I can assure that the following trigger works for the player that buys the unit:

Hero sell
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Sells a unit
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Selling unit)) Equal to My Tavern
- Actions
  - Unit - Remove (Buying unit) from the game
  - Unit - Move (Sold unit) instantly to (Center of Place of hero <gen>)
  - Player - Make (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Unavailable for training/construction by (Owner of (Sold unit))
  - Camera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Buying unit)) to (Center of Place of hero <gen>) over 2.00 seconds
  - -------- Creating The Gryphon and the Text --------
  - Unit - Create 1 Gryphon Rider for (Owner of (Sold unit)) at (Center of Place of hero <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
  - Game - Display to (All players) for 30.00 seconds the text: Congratulations !!!...

In this case the player that buys the unit is unable to buy that unit again. You can easily change the trigger to work to all players.
Sorry about the previous trigger, I was convinced it would work =S

Here is the new test map.

FriXionX · Apr 7, 2009

Ok, ill try that in a few mins.
Edit: I did it, and changed it to this:

Player - Make (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Unavailable for training/construction by (Player((Number of players in (All players))))

That works doesnt it? Thats the closest thing i could find to All Players

I have no testers, but it works for player 1 so i think it would work for all others.

Flame_Phoenix · Apr 8, 2009

Player - Make (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Unavailable for training/construction by (Player((Number of players in (All players))))

That is odd that shouldn't work ... My advise would be to make it like this:

Player - Make (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Unavailable for training/construction by (Player 1)
Player - Make (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Unavailable for training/construction by (Player 2)
Comment - until all players are here

GUI is a mystery sometimes, which reminds me why I evolved to Jass =P
Anyway, I am glad I could help.
