Minimap icon for unit

[wc3neverdies]

Hello again,
there is a way to give a units-type a icon in the minimap? just like the neutral passive shop buildings? So the unit-type instead of have the single white square icon have another one? like heroes that have the circle...


thank you for answering the question

You would have to change it in the Advanced -> Game interfaces.
You might be able to create dummy unit with the minimap icon and get them to follow the units around.

There is a way to set this up using JASS. I did it quite a while ago for my bosses - they are using the haunted gold mine icon. You would have to add the icons to the units via triggers. There is also the issue that I think you can only set up one icon this way, so you can only use it for one icon.
