Noob question plz

[ice.wolf.]

i didnt put the question in the title cus i couldent think of a shortnuff way to explain it sorry
but . im trying to place heros on becons right like they do in aos or doe and tob but everytime i place them down and they turn up as player controlable units and i cant seem to fix it

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Duoble click them and were it says Player: There will be a drop down menu. Set it to Neutral Passive and then it wont be player controled.

 

[Razorbrain]

you are meaning you want to place them on Circle of Powers and you want them not to be controllable and neutral?

 

[ice.wolf.]

yeah like ppl do in hero arenas

 

[Razorbrain]

then its basicly what HeretoDlStuff said

 

[ice.wolf.]

i double clicked them and nothing happend then i saw noithing that said player in their stat window

bump.......................

 

[Razorbrain]

you double clicked the unit and it didnt say "Player 1" or "Player 2" or something anywhere?

 

[ice.wolf.]

nope i have them in undead section and then wher do i go from there

 

[PurplePoot]

Nono, you doubleclick the ones you placed on the map. [if you mean you selected them in the Object Editor]

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

What DID happen when you double clicked it? Theres differnt tabs, are you sure you wernt on "invotory" or somthing?

 

[Dr Super Good]

I think he also wants some kind of hero select system.

 

[ice.wolf.]

no actully i have a hero select system i got it from here i just need to get them to be neutral so im basicly trying to make my hero selection system like aotz doe or tob but im adding a close up camera view of it. and it wont even let me click on anything on the main page or do i have to have the tool pallete open to do it?.and there's a lil green blob in the bottom corner of the map zoom bars whats gem?

Duoble click them (in the terrain editor, not in the unit pannel) and were it says Player: There will be a drop down menu. Set it to Neutral Passive and then it wont be player controled.

• Select hero on the map
• Press and hold Ctrl
• Click on the map to make the hero face the point where you clicked

doesn't seem to work with buildings i pick unit place it on map hold ctrl click it again and then what all that does is rotate the map

Yeah, you cant do it on buildings. But everthing else you can.

 

[ice.wolf.]

Im pretty sure there is a way. But I dont know it right of the bat.....

 

[ice.wolf.]

ok i have these white patches of squares underneath myheros could some one tell me what they are n how to get rid of them

 

[PurplePoot]

Screenshots or it didn't happen.

(The description is a bit vague -.- You could mean glows, bugged textures, etc)

 

[edge[d1]]

Yeah, you cant do it on buildings. But everthing else you can.

yes you can. make a copy of root ability (the one that night elf ancients have), give it to your unit and use a trigger to disable the ability on map init (so you don't see the icon). building angle can be set using a trigger action.

 

[wd40bomber7]

Or you could give them at least .3 turn speed and 1 base movement speed and then change angle with trigger

 

[PurplePoot]

But then they have all the move/stop/etc icons.

 

[Just_Spectating]

listen to edge[d1]

Also, if they are already placed on map, couldnt you do the "uncheck is building" rotate "check is building" ?

 

[Razorbrain]

you dont need the root ability to face a building

simply use triggers

 

[wd40bomber7]

This is exactly what where talking about read ALL the posts before you post please.


And actually doing this
Or you could give them at least .3 turn speed and 1 base movement speed and then change angle with trigger

Doesn't add move/stop/follow/patrol commands
Settings the 'movement type' doesn't need to be done for that to work.

 

[Razorbrain]

i belive(mark my word, i dont have World Edit infront of me) that its possible without any triggers, that you mainly make the building a unit with 0 movement speed and 0 turn rate
