[Trigger] Need help with DoTA-like Multiboard

[BroKeN]

Problems with creating multiboard. Can not make the icon stuff.
I a wanted to do a DoTA-like multiboard. The thing is I wanted to do a multiboard were would be the icons of the heroes the players have chosen. Tried to do myself, used array variables, couln't manage. Haven't found any tutorials related to it. Yes there are multiboard tutorials. But there are to simple. And I looked through all that stuff. No material related to my problem. Only basics that I think I know

Well try to tweak them a bit. You'll learn how it works then and it'll be a piece of cake making an very advanced one.

If I'm not mistaken, those icons of ther hero is Jass enabled but I could be wrong, you might want to ask in the Jass forum and you might be able to get a better response. Because as far as I know there is no GUI way of doing that.. I could be very wrong tho.

You are(Depends on how efficient you want to make it). It is possible. I've tried it once myself to make the icon appear in the multi board after choosing a hero. It wasn't that complicated but it took a while to figure it out for the first time.

Thanks Valdez. I will check it right now

 

[redmarine]

Lol... Just store all the icons and heroes into variables.

 

[BroKeN]

Thanx, I'll try to do it right now, but I won't add you reputation cause you could me more polite), just kidding. If it works I will add

 

[redmarine]

Reputation isn't my highest priority here. Sorry if I insulted you or anything.
You'll have to make some calculations etc to make an efficient and advanced muliboard. You'll have to use "number of player" a lot in this case.
