quest mark

[vlekje5]

Hello guys, so basicly ive been wondering how i add a (!) mark above a unit.
need this for showing quest units.
anyone know how to do this?

Make a trigger which creates a special effect.

• Quest Mark
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Peasant 0000 <gen> using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
    • Set QuestMarkSPX = (Last created special effect)

And this trigger removes the quest mark:

• Finish Quest
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Peasant 0000 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Destroy QuestMarkSPX

The QuestMarkSPX is a Special Effect type variable.

Thank you very much, i was looking in the wrong place haha,Didn't think it was done via triggers.
thank you

anyway, if i use a variable will i be able to do it for multiple units at a time?
i want all questwielders to have one on them so that the player can see it, should i make a seperate variable for each and every one of them then?

Use a variable array instead.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Peasant 0000 <gen> using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
    • Set QuetMarkSPX[1] = (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Footman 0001 <gen> using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
    • Set QuetMarkSPX[2] = (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Knight 0002 <gen> using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
    • Set QuetMarkSPX[3] = (Last created special effect)

It's called 'Exclamation Mark', you can find it under 'Extra'.
