hi there, help on hero selction pads please.

[JEK_Disturbed]

hi there, im making a map where the players must move there whisps to select a hero.

At the moment i've triggered it:

event - a unit enters (region over hero)
Conditions - if (whisp) = to (player 1)
actions - Create 1 (type of hero) at (region)

Iv done this for both red and blue player (two player map) however when red picks a hero, it creates that hero for blue aswell.

Im sure theres a simpler way of doing this?

Thanks.

Lets say you want the paladin section

Paladin <gen> = region of paladin
Arena <gen> = Where the paladin will spawn
Camera: This will move the player's camera to where the unit is spawned, which is Arena <gen> so they don't go "wtf? weres my hero?"

Hope it helps

Palladin
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Paladin <gen>
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wisp
    Actions
        Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
        Unit - Create 1 Paladin for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of Arena <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
        Camera - Pan camera for (Triggering player) to (Center of Starter <gen>) over 0.00 seconds
        Camera - Pan camera as necessary for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to (Center of Starter <gen>) over 0.00 seconds

yea thanks that helped alot!

my next issue is this:

I would like to have a '-repick' option if you're heroe dies, however how do you make it so the repick option only works AFTER you're heroe is dead (so you cant type -repick a million times and have lots)

Thanks

Easy Way

Well if you have no summons then:

Event:
When a unit owned by (player 1 red) dies.
Condition:
None
Event:
Trigger - Turn on Trigger (player 1 repick)



Trigger for Repick, click the box up the top of the trigger that says initally on, so that there is no tick then



Event:
Chat Message - When (player 1 red) types -repick as an exact match
Condition:
None
Event:
Create 1 (hero selector) for (player 1 red) at centre of region(select hero place).

trigger - Turn off (this trigger)







simply change player 1 to player 2. for the triggers and walaa, basic triggers for your hero repick. If it's too confusing then i'll be happy to explain it in greater detail.

ok, you can do one of the following:

1 ) Only repick in the first X minutes/seconds/hours of the game

2 ) After the hero dies, choose another different character and start all over

3 ) only repick ONCE in the whole game



1 )Repick
