Hero Spawning

Hero Spawning

Hey all

I would like to ask how can u make a DotA-like hero style map?

Like.. u got the tavern there.. then what?

How do u actually make it show the heroes u created that can be spawned?

forgive my english nad my noobiness

actually there is no trick to spawn hero equal to what the player pick. simply just create a region around the tavern, and create the trigger:

if unit enter tavern region then
move unit instantly to region near the fountain

if you want each player can only has 1 hero and no other players can pick same hero, make it like this:

if unit enter tavern region then
- set limit training of hero for owner of triggering unit to 0
- Pick every player on allplayer and do
set limit training of unit type of triggering unit to 0

the first point suppose to limit the owner of triggering unit to pick another hero, so he only has the hero that he just already choose.

the second one suppose to limit another player so each player cannot pick that hero type.

I was like u too, for the first time i see dota hero selection system, but then i figure it out that it's not as hard as i think.

i get this error:
call TriggerRegisterEnterRegionSimple( gg_trg_Spawning, Rect2Region(gg_rct_Tavern) )


the GUI trigger i used was:

Unit - Enters (Convert tavern <gen> to region)
Conditions - Triggering Units Is A hero = True
Action - Movie (Matching Unit) instantly to Center of Spawn <gen>

instead of matching unit i also tried triggering unit.. same error

You shouldn't need to convert the Tavern region to a region, it already is one.

sorry.. didnt understand

u mean i dont have to add a region near the tavern because there's one already?

I think u can use just GUI trigger, not need for script, coz i didn't know about script and i can make that trigger

Just try to make 2 regions, one nearby the tavern (TavernReg)and the other nearby the fountain (FountainReg), and make this trigger:

Events:
Unit - Enters TavernReg
Conditions - Triggering Unit Is A hero = True
Action - Move Triggering Unit instantly to Center of FountainReg

If it works you can modify that trigger further, like limit trainin of hero and limit training of unit.

And remember this, there must be TRIGGERING UNIT since:

TRIGGERING UNIT: Used to represent unit that causing the triger works.
MATCHING UNIT: Used to represent unit that was checked its condition when you pick up every unit on unit group with matching condition.
PICKED UNIT: Used to represent unit that was picked, after the matching condition filter was done.

and many more variables that you must know what those variables represent for.
