Ok, I'm makeing a map in WE.

As you guys probably have seen in the Tool Palette, the are two buttons "Random Unit" and "Random Building" to choose a random unit or building to appear where you put it.

So... I would like to know how can I make one of those buttons but for Heros. To be "Random Hero".

I would really apreciate your help guys. :ogre_haosis:

You can not.

You can however script a system to do that. Just make an array list of hero types and use a random index to get a random hero type from that. Then it is a mater of creating it where ever you want. Repeate for every random hero you need.

You may wish to increase level, give items and learn spells of them after doing this.

The item should be rune and use trigger as spell trigger.
However I prefer a Locust Unit sold as Random Button.
