Hero Icon small in UI and not on left side

[SadisticLeprechaun]

So a hero I made, I believe from a campaign unit, works great as a hero in every way except his icon in the control group list is small like a normal unit and it does not appear on the very left with the other heros, it appears mixed in with other lesser units. Still appears in the top left corner and functions as a hero very well in every other way (levels abilities, can only spawn 1, counts towards heroes, etc)

Any ideas? Thanks ahead!

Hero icons and units icons are always of the same size unless you're selecting that specific hero/unit type, so I don't really understand what you mean with this.

Well, obviously it appears in the top left corner if it is a hero...unless you ticked the hide hero interface icon.

and it does not appear on the very left with the other heros, it appears mixed in with other lesser units.

I tried to recreate your problem but it's quite hard, post your map or screenshots from the object editor with the relevant fields, we can't just guess your problem with this current information.

There is such a unit stat "priority" defining the order, units are placed in groupselection. Make sure your hero has a higher number then your other units.

Taysen understands what I mean, I checked that and all heroes are at 9, so was my new hero.

Wrda, when I multiselect units, my Heroes always appear at the beginning of the 12 units that can appear. What I mean to say is my hero is being counted as a normal unit and is not grouped at the beginning, but rather in the middle, sorry ignore that size reference I was mistaken.

Hmm ok, perhaps someone has a list of things to check to make sure my hero is recognized as a hero and not a unit?

Did you also check the priority of your units?

to make sure my hero is recognized as a hero and not a unit?

There's no such concept.

Maybe post a test map with the hero and units and this will be easier to find a solution.

 

[SadisticLeprechaun]

I just rechecked, they are all 7 or below while all heroes are 9.

I will post a test map later sure, perhaps that will help. Thanks for all the answers so far!

I'd say just recreate the hero in the object editor from scratch. Or maybe just copy/paste the current one with a new rawcode. Speaking of that did you maybe end up in a situation where the hero's rawcode starts with a lowercase letter rather than an uppercase letter (if you manually input rawcode upon creating it I think this can happen)?
