Hero Help {building up a tavern system with 5 heroes}

[Frizkie]

Hey I'm new to mapping, just wondering how I'd go about adding Heroes to my map. I basically want taverns and (for now) be able to pick between like 5 or so heroes. I really don't know how to approach this.

I don't know JASS or variables in triggers very well, but if you could give me a quick explanation that would help. If I need to give you any more info, lemme know.

Thanks!

uhm you don't need any trigger for this.. it's just a bit within the object editor of the WE..

First create your Heroes, right-click on a unit listed to the left and a new window will popup, you can choose a unit that you're hero could be based on, doesn't matter what unit (should be a hero, though) and then give it a name and press ok..

Now you got a new custom Unit, a new Hero, just edit the parts you like to.. HP, Stats gain per Lvl, etc.. after this you can go on and create more Heroes like the same way..

After that create again a new unit, but now go to the buildings part (the lower part of the popped up window) and search for the tavern, it's easier to edit it than.. after selecting it (it's under neutral units in the dropdown menu) and clicking OK you only have to change the heroes it should contain.. scroll a bit there are already some listed.. remove all and add your newly created Heroes..

After all you only have to place the tavern on your map and you're done =)

Oh, whole lot easier than I thought. Thanks!

One more question. If I have a central point for a tavern, what trigger should I use to place the newly picked Hero at the corresponding player's base? It doesn't make a lot of sense for all the heroes to spawn next to the tavern.

hey..

u need to detect what player is picking a hero form ur tavern .

make a trigger .

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Selling unit) Equal to Select_Your_tavern <gen>
  • Actions
    • If ((Owner of (Sold unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)) then do (Unit - Move (Sold unit) instantly to (Center of Player_1_base_region <gen>)) else do (Do nothing)
    • If ((Owner of (Sold unit)) Equal to Player 2 (blue)) then do (Unit - Move (Sold unit) instantly to (Center of Player_2_base_region <gen>)) else do (Do nothing)

u need to create a region at the place u want to see ur hero for player 1 if player 1 picked that hero.

i hope its what u r asking
