[Trigger] Multiboard - Icon of unit

[greenyaptec]

I am creating a multiboard for my map and i want there icon of curently used unit by all players.

I find a function:

Multiboard - Set Item Icon
(Set the icon for <multiboard> item in column <int>, row <int> to <path_to_icon>)

I looked for function similar like this:

Icon of <unit>
(returns path to unit´s icon)

Is there a posibilty to do this?
Or i must use if, else?

You must save each unit's icon into a string and then set the <path_to_icon> using the string.

• Set Icon_String = ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNFootman.blp

• Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to Icon_String

If not, you can directly set the path to this icon without using a string.

you can set every hero to the string array and unit array with like Padalin having unit[0] as well as string[0] and then when player picks a hero loop check if the unit is == unit[looper] and if it is set multiboard item to string[thenumber]
maybe there are easier ways but if you have 50 heros this is faster then having 50 nested ifs

Yeah, i was thinking bout this already, but thanks for answering
I was just wondering if there is any function or custom script that will do this, but looks like there isnt
Its second or third unit attribute, that i want to get, but it itsnt implemented

what? what attribute?
and no you must do it yourself there is no code, someone can make you function tho

 

[Almia]

what about saving the string for the icon to the unit-type of the unit?
Ex.
SaveString(udg_Hash,udg_Unit,1,udg_IconPath)
Just like that

Using Hashtable would be ideal for this kind of system (if you're planning to use this for multiple icons for multiple units).

 

[edo494]

defskull are you going to make this as well?

I think this kind of system is map-specific.
So there's no need to create this kind of system for public resource.
