[Spell] way to detect when UI hero button clicked?

[Cheshire]

hey there,

how can I detect when the hero UI button is clicked? (I mean the image of the hero on the top left of the screen)

I have a hero who I hid, but I want to trigger certain actions when it's button is clicked. somehow BC the hero is hidden - basing stuff off of when the unit is selected doesn't work.

Spoiler

this is how I tried to do it according to hero selection - and nada...

• profile selection
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 9 (Gray) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) Selects a unit
    • Player - Player 12 (Brown) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in ProfileHero) Equal to True
    • (Triggering player) Equal to (Owner of (Triggering unit))
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) for 5.00 seconds the text: hero selected
    • Set ID = (Custom value of (Triggering unit))
    • Selection - Select FakeCritter[ID] for (Triggering player)

would appreciate any help, thanks!

As far as I know you can't select Hidden units, so the Event can't fire. Is Hiding the Hero necessary?

Also, you could use custom UI to get around this problem.

With the newest patch, one is able to detect when a key is clicked such as F1 or F2, etc...
[JASS/AI] - Oskey - Player Key Event

I'm not on the newest patch (don't like reforged), and I don't know how to make custom UI yet. I tried altering the ability do it doesn't actually hide the hero, just emulates that.

I shrunk, and paused the hero, made it invulnerable, and moved it to a remote corner of the map(bc it still was causing things to walk around it and had a shadow). the one thing I can't figure out how to get rid of is the minimap hero display. Is there any way to trigger hiding that?

Stats - Hide Minimap Display = True
