[Solved] Limit Heroes to 1 per Game?

[Gnuoy]

I want to disable hero type for all players when a player begins training that hero. So there are 8 players that train up to 22 heroes from their altars (only allowed one and they cannot "-repick"). We were thinking limit the heroes to one per type. So only one player could play Paladin, for example. We won't have two of the same hero type. Does that make sense?

I was thinking make the unit-type of training unit unavailable upon event "begins training unit" (this event response "training unit" does not exist because the unit does not exist yet). I can't think of a good way to do this? Anyone have any ideas?

There's a native JASS function that will do this, something like "SetHeroTokens" Melee maps give a player a hero token every time they increase a tier.

I'm at work but maybe someone can help you turn that into a line of custom script, if not I'll do it when I get home.

Trained Unit-Type is not in the standard Event Response list where you'd expect it, but instead in the base Function list, it's a little confusing:

At least that's how it works until the Unit actually exists, then it becomes the (Trained unit).

This seems to work on simple LAN tests:

I'm glad you followed Uncle's advice because the thing I mentioned seems to be used by melee maps, but for something unrelated to limiting heroes.

This seems to work on simple LAN tests:

It should work fine. One simplification would be to use Generic Events and modify the Conditions to this:

• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Altar of Knights

(Triggering unit) refers to the building doing the training.
