[Solved] Hero Icon slot chronological

[SenPie69]

Good day hive pips, i've seen few maps with hero icon placement in order, how do you do that?

i have a trigger where ex; player 1 has 2 heroes, moving to that region will add 1 additional hero to player 1, but the thing is, hero 1 & 2 became hero 1, 3 & 2 order icons (i used ALL heroes from paladin base)

Hero icon order is based on their creation in the map, so preplaced units will have priority over created/restored heroes, the oldest one being the F1 hero

You may be able to change it by changing the owner of the hero for a split second and then changing it back but that needs testing

That's what the ai also suggest, but isn't it from top to buttom order or is it because of unitID? since i use the same hero via copy pasta? because like the map of Zenonoth, the Times Change map, having new hero will not insert on the existing hero icon in between but rather fill up below as it should be...

i'm actually considering that if there is no really solution to it

Hero icon order isn’t based on unit type or placement, it’s based on the order heroes get registered to the player basically creation/reassignment order.

Preplaced heroes always come first like placed on map, and any newly created or re-owned heroes get added to the end you can’t really insert one in the middle i think.
If the order gets messed up (like 1, 3, 2), it usually means one of the heroes got re-registered at some point ownership change, recreate, etc..

Only workaround imo is to reassign all heroes in the desired order (change owner away and back), but there’s no native way to control it directly.
