Hero - Building

[BagOfChips]

Is there any way to make a hero treated as a building? (pathing reqs, ect)?

Bump. I've been looking, and I still can't figure out a way to do this.

Would there be a way to trigger it so they couldn't be built on a certain type of terrain?

Sure.. there's a boolean in the object editor in the settings of your hero/unit called 'Is a building'
Set this one to true (check the box) and set the pathing etc..

Just a problem would be that when you set it to a Building, all hero properties are lost and unconfigurable.

Yeah and you can't even make it so it needs to be built on a buildable surface either.

I think there is a field called somewhat similar to 'Placement requires' (if i translated right)
raw: preventPlace

I don't think the hero properties are actually 'lost', it might not show them, but they might still be there. For example: I had a map where I wanted to have units upgrade into other units, so I turned the units into buildings, set the "upgrades to" variable, and turned them back into 'not buildings'. Even though the "Upgrades to" field didn't show up, they still upgraded in-game normally.

I'm guessing that hero things (like hero abilities) would work the same, just try and set their abilities before turning them into buildings, and see if they still have the abilities in game.

Isn't there this blizzard tower defense?
I think i've seen building-heros in there

you can build heroes even if they are no buildings, simpy adding them into the "structures built" column

I guess the easiest way would be to try

However they can be built where I don't want them to be able to be built.

Explain in more detail please?

 

[PurplePoot]

JassNewGenPack allows you to pick custom rawcodes for units when you create them.

You just need to capitalize the first letter of the rawcode it suggests, and the unit becomes a hero.
