Different gold and wood icon for each race?

[jonbon29]

Hello guys once again I have a question that I wanted to ask, so what you're gonna do is just raise you're left hand if you have a decent answer. Like this

Question: For example the human race in the interface they had a gold and wood icon as a resource, then comes the orc could I set a different icon for their resource like a wolf icon for the wood?

I don't think so.

Well since you've said that I guess it cannot be accomplish. Tnx for telling.

It might be possible if very race uses a prefix for it however I don't think they do, I think they all use the same setting which sadly makes your idea impossible. Cool idea though make sure to check for something like http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/idle-worker-263697/ because well you never know, maybe there is some kind of human\icon then orc\icon there for gold/lumber UI.

Haven't noticed it myself, just hoping for a possibility.

Another method is to use gold and lumber globally for something else and use a leaderboard or multiboard for your custom icon resources. Other ways are a bit too complex for most to use though.

Yeah I thought about the multiboard or leader board, but I didn't like that. We can change the gold and wood icon in the gameplay constants, sadly it goes all for the races. Tnx for the concern guys.

If you use custom HUD UI, then you can... otherwise... not linked to a race

True..... but is it possible that my problem can be done using triggers?

Why not use a multiboard for that? You can put any icons on there.
Its a bother, but it will do what you want.

You could ask players to over-ride their own UI with whatever you want. No way to do it by code/triggers without editing WC3's source code.

Local files is the only way I see this possible without of course decompiling the game and etc. . .

Well there's only 1 thing that I should put in there, power and its gathered in the gold mine so it will be small. Can you show me how?
