Hero Building

[Frostorm]

is it possible to make a hero be able to build stuff?

 

[Thunderwrath]

I think it is, but i didnt try it, just add him a classification WORKER
and allow him to build buildings, also dont forget to add Repair ability

 

[boomwolf]

no need in worker class...
jest repair ability and adding a list of what he can build...

Buildings Built

Im not sure if adding repair is nessisary, might be though.
But what you have to do is add the buildings you want the hero to build to "Buildings Built" section of its unit data (i think thats what its called, its found just above unit name and just below unit classification).
I suggest that you add repair and add the worker classification to the hero as well.

lol thx, i was under the assumption that heros didnt have a structures built section
edit: another question, how do i make it so that when he builds things, he "summons" (like acolytes) them isntead of going into the building?
oh and is it possible to let the hero build at ranged instead of having to be right next to where ur gonna build?

You need the repair ability for the hero to be able to make Human and i think orc buildings (not sure about night elf) and undead summon so that doesnt matter. If hes night elf make sure that he doesnt build any buildings that have a subclass of ancient or it might abosrb him.

To get the summon set his race to undead.

cool thx, how bout being able to build or summon buildings from afar? say around 250 range or something?

 

[Kixer]

Im not sure if thats possible but if it is, you would either:
Look at the repair ability and change the range,
Or,
Look under gameplay constants, and change something that looks relevent.
But thats just a guess...

Are you makes an TD map or something looks like??

 

[Frostorm]

ya a TD sort of...
btw couldnt find anytihng in gameplay constants

 

[CoolSoFar]

You want your builder can also battle coz in normal TD you must train hero doesn't it??
Well.. Just waiting till you finish and test it

 

[Frostorm]

im combining the gameplay of both a td and a team survival, the hero will double as a builder and as a fighter the tower placement is gonna be sort of like element td (where u put towers on cliffs and the terrain mazes for u) and im trying to make the mobs move like how they do in enfos (like, trying to go to the goal but still atk the heroes on the way)

 

[Spyda Man]

so your saying its......skibi's td??? cept for w/o the mini games. And for the building afar thing if your using human or orc buildings, u can change the repair range, i know it can allow u to construct the building from far(continue the construction of a building thats not finished) but iono wheter it can be used to initially create a building(make a new building)

 

[Frostorm]

no its not like skibi, the hereos are gonna act like heros in a team survival like enfos but htey can build stuff...in skibis, the heros arent actually in the combat and stuff

Hmmmm...
Nice idea, sounds like a pretty fun map.

keep up the good work
