[General] Hero costs

[Watcher]

Hi guys,

How to make that 1st hero u create costs nothing, just like in the melee maps?

PS: I removed "Create starting units trigger" for gameplay purposes

Create starting units contains amongst many other code this line:
call SetPlayerState(whichPlayer, PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_HERO_TOKENS, bj_MELEE_STARTING_HERO_TOKENS)
Use a custom script inside a loop to apply it for every player:

• For each (Integer A) from 0 to 11, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Custom script: call SetPlayerState(Player(bj_forLoopAIndex), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_HERO_TOKENS, 1)

Can I use this custom script inside a player group loop, since I already have player group loop for some other stuffs?

And I just have to replace "forLoopAIndex" with my variable or?

Yes, just don't forget the "udg_" before the nsan

So I tried by typing this:

"call SetPlayerState(Player(bj_udg_player_group), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_HERO_TOKENS, 1)"
"call SetPlayerState(Player(udg_player_group), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_HERO_TOKENS, 1)"
"call SetPlayerState(Force(udg_player_group), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_HERO_TOKENS, 1)"

And every time it gives me "Expected a name" error

Dunno what's wrong... :/

The first argument must be a player expression. You can use a player variable, the Player(int) function to convert an integer to a player or the GetEnumPlayer() function to get the picked player.
You said you want to use it in a player group, so you should use:

"call SetPlayerState(GetEnumPlayer(), PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_HERO_TOKENS, 1)"

(Player(bj_udg_player_group) to (Player(udg_player_group)

where udg_player_group is an integer

Edit: Jampion explained it
