Make 1-st hero cost only 5 food?

[WereElf]

How do I make the 1-st hero I train cost only food?
I have only custom heroes on my map, and I can't seem to get this to work...

 

[Warseeker]

In Object Editor--->Units--->Near the last stats you can precise to train a hero costing only food by setting the gold and lumber price to 0.

So I need to make 2 versions of each hero - 1 costing gold + lumber + food, and the other version costing only food.
Make my altar be able to train both types, but I should have the gold/lumber costing versions initially disabled.
When I train a hero - I need to disable the food costing ones, and enable to normal ones?

Isn't there an easier way? xP

 

[Yours Truly]

The first hero trained is set to only cost 5 food by default.
At least,melee maps of course =p

Edit : That I dunno

I don't understand what do you mean by that?

I don't understand what do you mean by that?

What I want to do:
1-st hero (no matter what hero it is) costs only 5 food
2-nd and 3-rd hero (no matter who they are) cost 5 food + gold + lumber.
It's pretty much pre-set to be like that in melee maps, but since I'm using custom heroes - it doesn't happen.

Those Costum Heroes are based on the a melee hero stats, right?
Do as I said, remove gold + lumber for the 1_st hero, and let the two others as they are without changing anything (food + gold + lumber).

Now, usualy melee heroes from melee maps does cost 5 food when training, but Campaign heroes doesn't use food at the start (check the stats and you'll see)
I'm sure your hero is based on a hero campaign E.g Arthas, Thrall...

You still don't get it.
I have Hero 1, Hero 2, and Hero 3.
I want:
When I train Hero 2, and it's the 1-st hero I train - it costs 5 food
the other 2 cost normal

When I train Hero 1, and it's the 1-st hero I train - it costs 5 food
the other 2 cost normal

When I train Hero 3, and it's the 1-st hero I train - it costs 5 food
the other 2 cost normal

I DON'T want Hero 1 to cost 5 food, and the other 2 to cost normal, since I may not always train Hero 1 first

 

[WereElf]

It's morning already, and still noone has solution for this? >.<

I guess I'll just reduce the hero's cost in general as last resort xP

 

[teozamait]

Wait, so if you have a custom Hero the game does not recognize it as your first hero for the purpose of cost elimination?

 

[WereElf]

Nope, it doesn't recognise it even to limit its training to 1.
I have to do that trough a trigger.

And yes, I have set it as a "hero" in the gameplay constants, so it's not that.

Just ran some tests on the issue. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but whenever I remove call MeleeStartingUnits() from the InitTrig, it makes it so that even the default heroes cost gold AND lumber, despite it being my first hero. If you keep this function, all first Heroes (including custom ones), will only cost food.
