Things you have to do before you make a game
-Go to Melee initilization
-Delete these triggers
1) Enforce victory/defeat conditions (for all players) ---------------------------------------------- This trigger ends the game if there are no more players left/no computer players or ends the game if all your buildings are destroyed. (you must get rid of this trigger if you are making a custom game)
2) Create starting units (for all players) ------------------------------------------------------------------- This trigger creates a town hall and pesents/peons/wisps/acolytes at a players start loactaion.
3) Remove creeps and critters from all used start locations (for all players) ------------ This trigger removes all neutral units from start loactions. ie: creeps or circles of power.
4) Set starting resources( for all players) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This trigger gives all players a set ammount at gold and lumber at the begining of the game.
Delete the triggers that interfear with you map, leave the rest.
These triggers are important for some games working correcctly.

Heres what you do-
1- Create a area of the map where no player or computer can reach (flying or swimming)
2- Place circles of power, directly infront of where your heros are going to be.
[ Circles of Power are located in the unit palette(place where you place units) under] --------------------------------> -Neutral Passive
[If you want to change their facing - select the heros, hold ctrl and press the left mouse button in the desired direction] ^ -Campaign
3- Place your heros behind the circles.
4- Double click the heros and make them belong to neutral passive (so you cant control them)
[Press space while on the unit palette then select the heros and press enter. Then go to -Player --> Neutral Passive]
5- Create a unit that will pick the heros
[ Go to object editor (the icon of the helmet)
|
|FILE | EDIT | VIEW | LAYER | SENAIRO | TOOLS | ADVANCED | MODULE | WINDOW | HELP |
| {Helmet is here}
|
Then go to
-NightElves
-Wisp
Copy and paste the wisp.
[ 'ctrl+c' for copy||| 'ctrl+p' for paste]
This will create a new 'CUSTOM' unit
When the new wisp is selected go to
- Abilities Normal
[This is at the very top of the list]
Double click this line.
Select a ability and press the | DELETE ABILITY | button.
[This will remove all its abilities so its cant cast spells like 'Detonate']
Go to the near bottom of the list to
-Techtree - Structures Built
[The 11th line from the bottom]
And delete all the buildings like you did for the abilities
[This makes sure your wisp cannot build any buildings while choosing a hero]
You can (if you want) rename the wisp
Go to
-Text - Name
Double Click and change the name.
--NOW YOUR HERO PICKER IS READY--
To make the PICKER choose a hero-
1) make regoins
[go to the unit palette- where it says units choose regoin]
2) make regoins at the circles of powers
[ they have to be the size of the circle]
[Look at regoins red/blue/green/yellow]
3) Place your picker in the midle of the picking area.
[The picker/wisp can be found in] -Units
-Night Elf
-Custom
4) Make a trigger like Trigger 1
-event

Unit
->kill tirggering unit
->create 1[hero near the circle that the picker entered] at region[where you want the hero to spawn
Camera
-Pan camera for player 1 red
to center of regoin[area where hero will be spawned]
[the trigger can be found in the demo]
[You can copy the trigger. I dont mind]
5) Make a trigger for all the heros.
[in trigger 1 change the regions and the unit(paladin) to fit you needs]
[the trigger states that. When a unit enter the red area. The unit ill die and you will get a Paladin at a regoin]
