Random Hero selection

[Xzere]

Why is this trigger not working?

Thanks in advance!

• Selection
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Equal to Random Hero
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 RandomHero[(Random integer number between 1 and HeroNumbers)] for (Owner of (Sold unit)) at (Center of Hero Respawn <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Remove (Sold unit) from the game

Have you tried not removing the sold unit from the game?
The way I see it, if the unit is created it is instantly removed.

Store unit-types at map initialization

    • -------- ---This is where we store the available Heroes--- --------
    • -------- HeroType = Unit-Type Variable with IndexArray --------
    • Set VariableSet HeroType[1] = Paladin
    • Set VariableSet HeroType[2] = Archmage
    • Set VariableSet HeroType[3] = Mountain King

    • Set VariableSet HeroType[6] = Warden

Random Hero Selection Trigger

  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Sells a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Sold unit)) Equal to RandomHero
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 HeroType[(Random integer number between 1 and 6)] for (Owner of (Buying unit)) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

Here it is better to use buying unit.
If player 1 red is the owner of buying unit, the hero will be created for him.
If player 2 blue is the owner of buying unit, the hero will be created for him.
And so on.

And the random integer number is always between 1 and MaxHeroTypes, so in this case it is 6.
Tested and this works.
Hope this helps!

I dont get it... I've done the exact same thing, but still does not work, could it be because of the dummy?
Edit: Maybe i should note they should be picked from an altar?

I used a Mercenary Camp. Any neutral unit should do it.
You can then change the appearance of the unit to whatever in object editor.

The unit needs to be sold, not trained.

Aah, then that's the problem, is it necessary for it to be trained? Cause i tried to change the event and condition to trained unit but that did not work either

Edit: I made it work, thank god.

Thank you very much for your help!

I've got the above triggers set up too. Only problem is I keep getting the same random hero rolled. Always the highest integer set. I've turned off 'Fixed Random Seed', yet every time I test I get the same hero.
