Question about hero shops

Question about hero shops

Im making the last ajustments to my map and its coming along much faster than i had expected but i just hit a pole. I need to know how to purchase a hero using a shop but not need to have a hero next to it. I looked in alot of triggers but none seem to match. Anyone know howto do this?

you don't need a hero to shop heroes, just take a peon, set transparency (with trigger or model) to 100% and no movement speed.

I could be very wrong but you could delete the tech requirement of nearby patron

Perhaps I have a solution for you (I took the tavern for example):

1. Remove the "Select Unit"-ability of the tavern
2. Place a tavern owned by neutral passive on your map
3. Run a trigger with this action (event is map init)

Player - Make Neutral Passive treat Player 1 (Red) as an Ally with shared vision and full shared units

Do this for every player that should be able to buy heros from the shop. btw remove the tech-tree-requirements of the heros if you don't wanna build an altar (usually the have the requirement "any altar")

There's only one weird thing I noticed: If you select the tavern, the owning player (which is neutral passive) is mentioned as player 16

just use the neutral hero shop, and add the heroes you want, and do whatever else you need done simple as that

....

Thanks that helped alot.
