How do you make hero icon disappear?

[Chris-Yamaha]

I'm working on Helm's Deep Full v8.5, and near the end I have the hero enter a region. When the hero does, I hide -that- hero and unhide the hero on the horse. That way, it looks like the hero gets on the horse.
However, both hero icons are still there, and it annoys some people. Anybody got some good ideas?

You have to kill it and instantly remove it afterwards. Then, when your hero exits the region, kill and remove the rider and create a normal hero.

Hmm.. Not the exact answer, but tweaking around with some actions gave me the idea to just create the unit instead of unhiding it. However, now I can only find the option to drop the items in the old hero's inventory instead of moving them over to the new one.

Nevermind... I found that out too. Thank you, Pharaoh

For future information: Unit editor -> go to your hero, there is a field Display hero icon, set that to False and icon won't show up.

Anyways, better to run your 'mount' trigger with adding/removing kind of morph ability like druids have.
This you help you, and its much smoother than killing/removing heroes..

He wanted to replace the old hero's icon with the mounted version, not hide it in general.

But yeah, passive transformation is a way to go.

I decided to make a trigger where:
Event: Unit enters region
Condition: Unit is Theoden and 1550 seconds have passed
Actions: Create Horse Theoden at region
Give Item carried by triggering unit (slots 1-6) to last created unit
wait 0.1 seconds
Remove triggering unit
Remove horse

This can be much simpler if you read the tutorial I've posted already above.

• Events
  • Unit - Unit enters region
• Conditions
  • (Triggering unit) Equal to Theoden
  • <other stuff if needed>
• Actions
  • Unit - Add MountTransformation to (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Remove MountTransformation from (Triggering unit)

Where MountTransformation is ability based on one of morph abilities (eg. druids).

Add other actions if you need to.

Oh, sorry, I didn't even see the link. However, I only use the trigger four times, so I got what I needed done =).
