Few questions on hero selection system

[Nightmare Moon]

Hello, i want to make for my map the hero selection system like in the map NanoSurvivalORPG_0.95.
I want to make the images of hero icons on terrain, and the big one for hero model, so i'm wondering how to create the image, i tried using triggers, but no use, i can't even show the image (it doesn't create image), and also how to select it. Or is this made through units, and the image is model, if so why when i select it it's selected with a purple square not a green circle. Here's a screenshot of that map when selecting hero.

I would also like to know where can i get those models, and author to give credits.

Yeah i know there are a lot of selection systems here, but not like that, i guess. So I'd appreciate any help. +rep to helpers.

for some idea how to do that, try viewing Ghost Thruster's GUI Full screen Inventory System.

that my friend is very complicated & it requires JASS knowledge...if you want it in GUI I suggest you make custom units & adjust things like pitch Angle & Camera (vertical) & make a small camera bounds just for hero sellection...

That system uses TRACKABLES
It detects the coordination of your last mouse's/cursor's position and load the following values (Items/Heroes/etc)
This, requires a JASS trigger

Yes...use my Inventory...

Ok so i understand, but can i ask something else how do i put an image with trigger onto region. Because i couldn't do it.
I used this trigger:

• Create Image
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Image - Create an image using ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNMyIcon.BLP of size 64.00 at (Center of MyRegion <gen>) with Z offset 0.00 using image type Indicator
    • Image - Show (Last created image)

The image must have a frame. Read about it anywhere else

Just face it, GUI won't do it. Although GhostThruster have gone far enough but some JASS or vJASS will do it even better (much better because of the limitations of GUI and JASS).

Thanks for replays.
By the way, i already checked GhostThruster's system, but the point was that i needed to know hot to make those buttons, but their purpose would be buttons for selecting modes. And multiboard near them - description of current selected mode.

I am currently making something alike that in vJASS except that it is a hero selection

The key to the buttons is to have a dummy model which you can attach "icons" to.

If you'll make it then i think i'll test it and if it will work then +rep into credits and one more thing i hope it won't require JNPG, because all links are broken and i can't get it. Btw, i started a new thread for link of JNPG, so i guess i'll get it.
And if this is hero selection i think i'll be able to replace icons with buttons i need for modes. Oh have no idea about JASS or vJASS. Well if I'll need help with it I will contact you... Hopefully...

What all are broken? Have you even checked this one?

This tutorial is also very nice!

It will be simple, just need to change what will happen when you click the icon and when you hover with the cursor over it although there is a problem, check the triggers and script forum, my thread about trackables and you'll see a preview and the failure in one piece.
