how to give building a selection (hero-type) icon

[ToldYouSo]

I have seen on some maps that building can be selected through ui icons, the ones that are used only for heroes on default wc3.

How to do that? Is it somekind of reforged new function, or it works on 1.26 too?

You could have a fake Hero that redirects selection to the Building. Anyway, if the UI icon isn't in the top left corner of the screen and/or doesn't look identical to a standard Hero icon (life bar, mana bar, etc) then it's safe to assume that it's a custom UI frame which was introduced in 1.31.

It look exactly as default hero icon at the top-left corner.

So how this fake hero is going to look like? I need to hide unit via trigger, and then you can detect via event when you select it through pressing click on icon?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Uncle I have a little question, off-topic. Are there any way to place a shop that sell items for ONLY 1 team, but still having a "item start cooldown", just like neutral shops do? When I want to sell items only for 1 team, items has no start cd value working. When I want to have start cd value, item are able to be bought by both teams. I'm mad at wc3 engine.

I believe you use the Shop Sharing ability and make sure that the Shop is owned by an Ally of the Team that can use it.

I tried both ways, with shop sharing and no snop sharing. They both work the same way.
