How to chage hero?

[Newominus]

So im making a map and I want to know how I can make the hero change, as in if you buy a different hero, it changes the heroes abilities, look, stats and stuff like that. Just like in battle tanks.

It should be possible with some advanced replace trigger? Have you tried searching the net for it?

As far as I can see, it's not anything difficult or weird. Do this:

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
  • Set Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)
  • Set Temp_Force = (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is Playing) and (((Matching player) controller) Equal to User))
  • Player Group - Pick every player in (Temp_Force) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set Point = ((Picked Player)'s Start Location)
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Engineer for (Picked Player) at Point facing 45 degrees
      • Hashtable - Save (Last created unit) as (Key(hero)) of (Key(Picked Player)) in Hashtable
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)
  • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_Temp_Group) //if you use this player group again, don't destroy it with this line.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit sells a unit
• Conditions
  • ((Sold unit) is a Hero) Equal to True)
• Actions
  • Unit - Remove (Load (Key(hero)) of (Key(Owner of (Sold unit))) from Hashtable) from the game
  • Selection - Select (Sold unit) for (Owner of (Sold unit))
  • Hashtable - Save (Sold unit) as (Key(hero)) of (Key(Owner of (Sold unit))) in Hashtable

Temp_Force is a Player Group variable, Point is a Point variable and Hashtable a Hashtable variable.

Knowing that you know your stuff about triggers, I know it will work. Tanks (see what i did there)
