SetHeroProperName

[DevilDuke1995]

Any idea of how to create a SetHeroProperName function?

 

[HINDYhat]

It's impossible.

 

[DevilDuke1995]

It's impossible.

Are u sure?

Yes, it's impossible.

 

[DevilDuke1995]

Yes, it's impossible.

Damn...

Haven't tested it but this might work:

    local unit h = hero
    local string s = GetHeroProperName(h)
    local string s2
    local unit h2
    local integer str = GetHeroStr(h,false)
    local integer agi = GetHeroAgi(h,false)
    local integer int = GetHeroInt(h,false)
    local integer lvl = GetHeroLevel(h)
    //get items... etc... anything else you need
    loop
        exitwhen s2 == s
        set h2 = CreateUnit(player,GetUnitTypeId(h),x,y,270)
        set s2 = GetHeroProperName(h)
        //if/then block, if s2 != s then remove h2 blah blah
    endloop
    //add items.. attributes.. etc.. then null unit vars..

Yeah, a rough code of what you could try out. This is if you want to make a unit with the same name as some other unit.

Otherwise:

    local string s = "Hero Name"
    local unit h2
    local string s2
    loop
        exitwhen s == s2
        set h2 = CreateUnit(Player,id,x,y,270)
        set s2 = GetHeroProperName(h2)
 //if/then block, if s2 != s then remove h2 blah blah
    endloop

Would probably be used if you want them to be created with a specific name.

ermm.. Something like that.

EDIT: This doesn't work. The problem is, is that Blizz doesn't like to have heroes wandering around with the same names. Thus, I tried this and it caused a loop up to 50 before it stopped. The thing is, is that after a hero is made with a same name, they add things like "XVII" or "VI" as a suffix. Thus, the names never end up the same. At first, I thought it was just for the paladin, but nope, it is for all of them, even the liches with their bizarre names. :\

They need a function for GetUnitVertexColor too, and GetUnitTimeScale. I don't understand why there are methods of setting these unit fields but no method of retrieving their current value.

its really unfortunate that it is impossible... maybe someone can suggest it to blizzard?
