How to: Boat hero?

[Huntsman]

How to make a proper boat hero? So that spells work etc etc, im cracking my brains on this for hours haha. Please help, +rep!

Just make any hero and set it's Movement - Type to float.

 

[Huntsman]

Yes i understand, but it is possible to make it not be able to revive aswell? so its just an ordinary ship, but a hero, so no inventory etc etc

You can remove the inventory from the abilities. If you don't want it to revive then I think you'd have to use a trigger to remove it when it dies.

But, why would you have a hero ship if it's just another unit?.

 

[Huntsman]

Because it should have levelable skills and stats, i will try of the triggering works

• Remove Hero
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • -------- It would look quite awkward when someone does killing blow on "Boat Hero" and instead of playing death it would instantly disappear. --------
    • -------- Thats why there is this wait. Modify it for your needs if it doesn't satisfy you. --------
    • Wait 4.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

@Azeroc
That trigger would fail if another hero is killed during the wait.. and if there are other types of heros (non-boats) they would also be removed.. you could use a local variable (I think) or use 2 triggers and a indexing system or something like that (haven't been triggering at all in a long time)

 

[Azeroc]

.... It doesn't fail. Where you see that I use variable? It's 100% MUI. Test it yourself. Besides Indexing system is quite messy, so I prefer hashtables.

"Triggering unit" is a local variable in the GUI. After wait Locals still stay so this would work.

If that's so, it's something that has been added since I last was triggering and to be fair I said that I haven't been triggering at all in a long time. (Last time I did anything at all that has anything to do with wc3 except the last few days was when the patch with hashtables came out)

• Wait 4.00 seconds
• Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game

Is nearly same as

local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
call TriggerSleepAction(4.00)
call KillUnit(u)
//and etc...

Or something like that. I just want to say If I don't use variables on values, then engine auto-creates local variables on those values.
