[Trigger] Make Players Start With Random Hero?

[da_arwin]

So I'm trying to make a map that's arena-based. Each player starts out with a random hero. Problem is, I can't get the triggers right. Here's what I have.

Thanks for any help you can offer me.

1. What kind of variable is Heroes?
2. Make sure that "Use fixed random seed" is unchecked.
3. Explain more, like can there be multiple heroes of the same time?

 

[da_arwin]

1. Heroes is a unit group.
2. It's unchecked.
3. It doesn't matter if there's multiples of the same hero.

Heroes should be a Unit type variable

then you set each array to each hero (your first trigger is fine but you will want to add another variable that sets the max number of hero types in your game)

and

• Unit - Create 1 Heroes[(Random integer number between 1 and maxHerocount)] for Player 1 (Red) at (Player 1(Red) start location) facing Default building facing degrees

where Heroes is your variable with array
and maxHerocount is the number for how many heros you have in ur map.

Ok I did what you said but it's only spawning the heroes designated to 3 and 4.

 

[Just_Spectating]

make sure you have √ use Fixed random seed
in the WarcraftIII --> Preferences --> Test Map Tab

 

[da_arwin]

It's checked off, still only spawning heroes 3 and 4.

EDIT: Odd, for some reason when I hit "Test Map" it's always the same guys, but when I start it in WCIII it works fine. Well, thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

You really are making too much actions. Use a loop or pick players. And random stays random

• Random Heroes TRIGGER
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Random_Hero[1] = (Random unit from (Units of type Paladin))
    • Set Random_Hero[2] = (Random unit from (Units of type Archmage))
    • Set Random_Hero[3] = (Random unit from (Units of type Mountain King))
    • Set Random_Hero[4] = (Random unit from (Units of type Blood Mage))

• Random Heroes TRIGGER 2
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status) Equal to Is playing)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of Random_Hero[(Random integer number between 1 and 4)]) for Picked Player at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

There you go, that should do it... Simple and easy...
Now, if you dont want ALL players to get random her, just change the (All players matching (((Matching player) slot status
and set it to (Player(Player 1 (Red)))
