Units to Heros

[Da)sniper]

I'm trying to make a unit (Rifleman) go to a hero so I can add skills to him..I used to know how to do this but I completly forgot now.....Can you please help me? Thank you!

Do you mean make him a hero during runtime or as a predetermined hero unit?

If the latter, simply make a custom unit, but select the base unit as a hero, then make the options those of a rifleman or however you plan on doing it.

If you want him to become a hero, you'll still have to make the custom unit, then use the Unit - Replace Unit action to replace the rifleman with the hero version.

The easiest way to do this would be to base your Hero off of an existing one (I always use the paladin) and then replace its model file with that of the one you want it to look like (in your case the Rifleman). You must also keep some other important things in mind:

-Make sure the selection scale (little green circle you see when you select a unit) is the same as the normal Rifleman.
-Make sure all the shadows and shadow options are the same as normal
-Make sure attack TYPE and attack backswing and damage point are the same
-The movement type should the same (Aka- a flying crow shouldnt walk, and a walking Rifleman shouldn't fly)
-Modify the stats and damage to fit your needs (A rifleman hero may not have the same functions as a Paladin)
-Edit the tooltips as needed

That's all I can think of, I hope it's helpful. Sorry if I forgot anything. GL!

You cant 'convert' a rifleman directly into a hero. You have to base any heros off pre-existing heros such as the Paladin or Death Knight. From here, you can change his appearance, sound, movement, etc., so he appears to be a rifleman.
