How do I change a unit to a hero?

[zwacka]

Topic says it all. How do I? I have a bunch of triggers that revolve around this unit and I dont want to have to change them all.
Please help,
Thanks.

you make a hero to a unit.

That's not helpful. HOW do I change a unit to a hero?

 

[Zynk]

You CAN'T change a UNIT into a HERO.

You must create a Hero so u change its model and skills to whatever u want, bye...

 

[Global_idiot]

U can make a hero just take a some hero and change model names abilitirs...

Merry Christmas!

I mean change it so that for example the icon of it appears at the top left of the screen.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

You can't that's a hero only thing, I think.

 

[Zynk]

The unit's icon appears at the top left of the screen just WHEN THE UNIT IS A HERO. You must change its "Icon - Game Interface" to the icon you want.

That's why I want to make the unit a hero if you read my first post.

I'm aware of that but I want to MAKE THE UNIT A HERO so that that CAN happen.

Create a new hero (copy+paste a hero) and change its icon, model, abilities, hero name etc.

or

do you want to transform a, lets say a Footman, into a hero unit?

do you want to transform a, lets say a Footman, into a hero unit?

Yes. That's exactly what I want.

 

[Kwaliti]

To do that, you must make a copy of a hero unit and then copy all stats and display stuff of the footman to a hero, because there is no other possible way.

I think you may be able to give it abilities for a hero in the object editor. Like for example you can give it a 6 slot hero inventory. I'm not sure if you can completely change it though, I'm not to familiar with that area of the editor.

 

[dubbleD]

you use object editor and just make a new custom unit/hero fit to your description

 

[miruim]

I believe it is not possible, at all, to convert a normal unit into a hero.

 

[Need_O2]

Uncheck the Windows -> Brush list to be able to copy units in 1 second instead of 30 seconds
Copy Heroes and change models-names-etc

 

[adythewolf]

there is an ability called hero, in the latest patch. Use it to your unit.. It might work.

 

[Kaitech[SanD]]

No, that won't make it a hero...

 

[AJalex]

you can't if you want more heroes , take one and create it into a custom one

cheers

 

[Vegavak]

Create a new unit based off an existing hero.
Modify data to reflect the unit you wish it to be.

This is the only way.

 

[Klipso]

sounds like one of those times where you just have to go through and manualy change every trigger, theres no quick way around it

 

[Dracula]

best way to do this is mess around with unit editor, you dont know what we are saying anyway.

 

[warcryergr]

I have been searching for long for this.. but there is no way you could do that in object editor.. You could make a hero Building.. But Not a unit ,hero .

There should be that action .. cause i needed very times. Skills can be turned to Hero skills Or units skills.. But skills only..

As many people said.. the only possible way is to make An exact copy
of your unit ...but the new one will be Hero afcourse !

 

[adythewolf]

anyway, what's the hero ability for? Never tried it..

 

[AJalex]

if you want a unit to be considered as a hero you need that ...

for example on multiboards if you want a simple unit to count as a hero skill the killed unit needs to have hero ability

 

[warcryergr]

When i needed this skill was because i started a unit i made it very good I used triggers on that but Then.. I needed to turn it to a hero.. ! it is too boring to Copy and then Replace the unit to trigger ..! this is a reason

 

[Dracula]

you can make a unit into a hero, just copy and paste a hero and change everything that has to do with hero in the unit editor, almost everything is changable.

 

[warcryergr]

but it's going to take a considerable time ..Most if Triggers are used on it.. That is what i meant !

 

[Klipso]

I have a bunch of triggers that revolve around this unit and I dont want to have to change them all.

You have to choose a hero, and then copy all of the the stats/abilities of the unit and paste them on the the hero, And you have to change all your triggers. there is no shortcut

 

[warcryergr]

I think this could be possible only If name is Exact the same So you have to click on Triggers and press ok..

But Evrything could be better if there was a button that would change Him auto from Unit to Hero... blizzard had his reason for not making it. or just forget it
