You can create units via trigger editor at map start.

@IcemanBo: I think he want to learn how to trigger the starting conditions for his map. IIRC, pudge wars starts with a hero (dota pudge).

@kukoo
Sorry I can't give you a definite answer, you should check out the tutorials section.

Also, could you put the image inside a hidden tag?

@Icemanbo why not create units via Terrain Editor?

@kukoo21 weird, and what does this mean?

but the hero moves on itself pls help

 

[IcemanBo]

If it's solo map there is not much difference, but if there are more player slots I would prefer creating units via trigger.

If you create all start units for each player in editor you might need an extra trigger that checks if all player slots are occupied to remove not needed units in case one slot is not used.

@chobibo, I see. ^^

Then just something like this at map start:

Player Group - PickAllPlayers --> If PickedPlayer Is Player --> Create 1 Hero At PickedPlayer's StartLocation?

I see, however I still do not understand the first post as a whole.

 

[Bloodbath]

it moves itself because maybe your player is blue but the unit placed on the editor is owned by red?

Player should be able to control units that owned by them..

I still don't quite understand your problem

Try to be more specific.

You can create tavern (buildings) and add custom heroes in it via object editor. Once you added those heroes you can put invisible circle's of power that are hidden and have locust. This will automatically enable you to purchase (select) your hero, once the hero is selected a trigger will remove your circle from the game and will then move your selected (purchased) hero to the chosen region.

@chobibo: yes, i want to learn about triggering .. and about the hero . i already have a Dota 2 Pudge model for this Map.
@Icemanbo: i have no idea what solo map is , but, yeah like you said, i want to add a player slot(is player slot like..a player from another pc can join?)

You appear to be at that point of expertise where the best strategy is just trying things. Adding player slots and things like that are something that I learned myself by messing around with various menus.
