Start with random hero

[Kam]

How do I set it so you start with a random hero, and so that it is a random hero from the correct races category.

In the Unit Palette in WE, you change to Custom Units, and you see a Random Unit unit. Place it for the player you want it control, double-click it, and in (I believe) the last tab, you can make a table of units it can become.

hmm, but that wouldn't be race specific unless the races are set for each starting position, i suggest using a trigger

• random hero
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set player[1] = Player 1 (Red)
    • Set player[2] = Player 2 (Blue)
    • Set player[3] = Player 3 (Teal)
    • ....
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • 'IF'-Bedingungen
            • (player[(Integer A)] slot status) equal to playing
            • (Race of player[(Integer A)]) equal to Human
          • 'THEN'-Actions
            • Set randominteger = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
            • If (randominteger equal to 1) then do (Unit - Create 1 Paladin for player[(Integer A)] at (player[(Integer A)] start location) facing Vorgabe for Gebäude-Ausrichtung degrees) else do (Do nothing)
            • If (randominteger equal to 2) then do (Unit - Create 1 Archmage for player[(Integer A)] at (player[(Integer A)] start location) facing Vorgabe for Gebäude-Ausrichtung degrees) else do (Do nothing)
          • 'ELSE'-Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • 'IF'-Conditions
                • (player[(Integer A)] slot status) equal to playing
                • (Race of player[(Integer A)]) equal to Orc
              • 'THEN'-Actions
                • Set randominteger = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
                • If (randominteger Gleich 1) then do (Unit - Create 1 Blademaster for player[(Integer A)] at (player[(Integer A)] start location) facing Vorgabe for Gebäude-Ausrichtung degrees) else do (Do nothing)
                • If (randominteger Gleich 2) then do (Unit - Create 1 Tauren-Chieftain for player[(Integer A)] at (player[(Integer A)] start location) facing Vorgabe for Gebäude-Ausrichtung degrees) else do (Do nothing)
              • 'ELSE'-Actions

that's the basic idea, just add the missing rasces and heros, maybe i did not translate everything, cause my WE is german, but i think the important parts are english

 

[Avator]

It would be race specific, becouse you can decide yourself which heroes it can become for each individual unit.

 

[UreDe4D]

yeah you can decide which unit it can become, but lets say its a melee map, you do not know which race the player is going to choose, so you do not know which units you need to set

 

[pikachu123]

this needs to be more specific for it to work

 

[Kam]

The random group won't work as you can only choose neutral.

 

[Avator]

Then my solution will probably be the best.

 

[UreDe4D]

so what is the reason why my solution doesn't work? and i still think that avators way does not work, prove me wrong please

 

[Avator]

I'm not saying yours doesn't work, but mine would probably be a bit easier.

 

[Kam]

Play nice guys, I'll end up trying both and you both get rep anyway. =)
