Where would I start to create a 2D style ground texture (example inside)

See the hero portraits on the ground? I've been looking online and can't find anything describing how to do this. I've seen some maps that have animated versions of those as well. Where would I start to learn how this works?

Thanks

Check out Kobas's hero pick system in the spell section, probably the easiest way to do that.

Well it's not hero picking that I'm looking for. I had a look and that seems more like a gui hero picking system.


I just want something simple. If you have seen Warcraft melee tournaments they sometimes have sponsored images on the ground. I just want to be able to place small images like that in game.

you seem to be missing the point entirely.

That system shows how to put those icons on the ground. Do not look at the triggers, look at the object editor work.

He's got two systems for hero picking. I see what you mean with the GUI one though. Thanks.

Well you could just use his models, and edit the units he use.

Should take 2-3 minutes to get those ground icons going.

That's what I ended up doing which is a great start.
