Unit becomes hero?

[Ducati]

how do i change a normal unit into a hero so he can use hero abilities??

 

[SweatyOgre]

Make a custom unit with a hero, and change the art from the hero to the regular unit.

 

[Ducati]

if i do that my hero wont have the same attack type.ex bladmaster into a archer hero,the archer will still use the bladmasters attack style not her arrows.

 

[SweatyOgre]

Change the attack style and animation. That's why it's a CUSTOM unit. You can change everything about it.

 

[Ducati]

hey but i remember there is an easier way of doin it,by jus changing one option??

 

[SweatyOgre]

It's not hard to double click 3 or 4 art values, then scroll up or down accordingly.

There's a slightly easier way... just choose the Night Elf POTM which already uses ranged arrows. However when I make a hero I always choose the Paladin as the base, no matter if it's ranged or not.

1. Create custom unit
2. Select a hero
3. Art - Model File option
4. Select a unit from the list (eg. archer)
5. If you place the hero, you should see an archer instead of say a paladin
6. Set the skills (hero or custom)
7. If its an ability, underneath hero settings there should be abilities (this is for effects you want to add such as roar)

For fun, I tend to make my own custom abilities. (with custom icons and everything.) You can do crazy things from casting holy light on yourself only! to stunning every enemy on a widespead area (99999 ft stun radius with war stomp)

Oh and if you want to see the arrows, you need to set the attack type to Missile from Normal. You can even make units fire possession animation ^^

its funny to let tower shot very high in the air ... and after 10 seconds the things came down .. and ... lol

Selfmade icons are very funny... i want to add them in the bf hero arena but i thing it will get big enough when some more people would do custom models and custom spells ... :grunt

 

[ChrisH36]

I tried importing a custom icon into wc3. But for some mysterious reason it crashed :usad .

Btw. Is BF Hero Arena made? If so, I want to download a copy :halo

 

[SweatyOgre]

It's in production.

 

[ChrisH36]

I guess in a while then, oh well, it better not be gay like the arenas I have played before.

 

[Darimus]

What would make it better then those arenas...? that's how maps are good you know... ideas.

 

[ChrisH36]

Angel Arena for example, you gamble and if you get a Potion of Immortality or Celestial Power at start, you practically own the competition for the start. I don't like that sometimes, I prefer earning the advanced items as the game goes on then getting them off luck and off the bat.
