Unit - Create 1 Demon Hunter for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of Start Region ) facing Default building facing degreesĬamera - Pan camera for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) to (Center of Start Region ) over 0.00 seconds ((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Wisp) and (Pick_Taken Equal to 0) Hero one is region one, and hero two is region two.

Remove the wisp or chooser unit from the game.

Create a hero for the owner of the wisp.

Create a trigger for every hero available in your map.

That type of hero on the map, and set our variable back to zero for that hero. Lastly, if you wanted to add a -repick system later, all you would have to do is unhide Typically, players and teams have different starting places, and you will either one If you want to create them somewhere else, you could make a My trigger will create the hero in the center of the map. For visual purposes, we will hide that hero on the map so That hero as taken, and remove the wisp from the game. When the wisp steps inside a circle, we will first check to see if that hero is taken. It is a little more work, but once you finish the first trigger, you can copy it and alter it for the next hero.

We will have one trigger for every available hero. If you are more advanced in trigger code, you can store your hero types and regions inside an array. The last thing we need to do is add a trigger to create the heroes. Maps can also have options like -repick and -random.Īdding a variable to control heroes.Create an integer array inside the Variable Editor.An integer variable stores which heroes have been taken.Inside the trigger module, click on Edit, Variables and create a variable as shown. By default, all the integers will be zero. We are going to makeĪnd integer type variable, that is an array. You can later addįirst to keep track of what heroes have been taken, we will need to store that in a variable. In this example, we will limit heroes to one of each type and add a repick system. Typically, modern maps only allow one of each hero, and have options suchĪs -repick and -random. Only allow one of each hero to be picked. Some maps allow a player to pick any hero they like. Unit - Create 1 Wisp for (Picked player) at ((Picked player) start location) facing Default building facing degreesĮvery map has different rules about choosing a hero. ((Picked player) slot status) Equal to Is playing ((Picked player) controller) Equal to User If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions) Add a trigger that creates a wisp for each player.Create a starting location for each player near your heroes.Human controlled players that are in the game, and not spectating or defeated. Also, my trigger will only make a wisp for So we are going to create the wisps for each player using a trigger. I prefere to create a wisp only for players in the game, Not present, there will be an inactive wisp sitting on the map. It is easy to place a wisp for each player near the heroes, but if a player is Do not place the starting units to close to eachother, or sometimes the wisp cannot be created there. Game starts, we would like each player to be looking at the available heroes, so we will create the player starting locations Creating WispsĮvery player in the game will need a wisp (or other chooser type unit) to select which thero they want to play. Heroes should belong to neutral passive.Ĭreate an area for choosing heroes.Create a region that fits inside the circle of power.Create a circle of power somewhere near the hero.Place a hero on the map for every hero your map has.For now, we will start with two heroes in this example. We will also need a region inside the circle of power. The circle of power in front of it is where the wisp should If you need to, you can make the heroes invunerable at map initalization, to prevent players from attacking them. The hero shouldīelong to neutral passive, so they don't wander or attack anyone. The hero on the map is only to show the player which hero they can choose, and nothing more. For every available choice, we will need one hero, one circle of We will need to designate an area on the map for your heroes. Each player is given a wisp, and a hero is created when they step On the map, with a circle of power next to each hero. There will be a group of heroes in a remote location The setup we are going to use today is seen in many hero arena maps.
