[unit editor question] Transform a unit to hero

Hello, everyone. How is everything?
I want to ask if it is possible to make a unit become hero instead of paste all the unit’s properties one by one to an custom hero?
Thankyou\



Thanks for the help.

I appreciated it :)

See ya all.

If you have the Newgen editor, you can copy-and-paste a unit and set the first letter of its new four-letter code to be capitalized. That's how War3 decides it's a hero.

I'm not even making this up. I couldn't come up with behavior as weird as the World Editor if I tried.

If you're not using Newgen, then yea, you gotta copy-and-paste the individual fields you want into a hero. It honestly doesn't take very long either way.

Thanks for the reply, hope if works. Would you please give me a more detailed instruction, like an examlple? Thank you a lot

If you have the Newgen editor and you try to copy-and-paste a unit, you'll see what I mean when it pops up a window asking you what four-letter code you want.

WOOOOOOOW, This is FREAKING CONVINENT! ioi you do not know how long I have been suffering the million-C&P ioi
and...will it cause error in game in any way?
Thanks a lot.

BTW, do you know why there is one file is detacted by my Symantec as a Backdoor virus?
Its the pipe.dll that location is jassnewgenpack5d\bin\

Do you know why?

It's an error, or some such; it's certainly not a virus.

Because JNGP acts like a virus (hacks wc3 to bypass it's retarded limitations) but isn't.

Hello, Owenalacaster:

What is the error? You mean the pipe.dll file or unit convert to a hero by changing letter?
Does it affect normal function of GenWE if pipe.dll is deleted?

Anyone knows about it?

Thank you!

That file is a harmless virus that is supposed to be there, but if you delete it your NewGen WE won't work. I just tell my anti-virus to permanently ignore it.

The error of which he spoke is not related to the hero/unit question.

Thanks for your reply, Fluff:

Its harmless...but does it has the potential to use by hacker to break my firewall defense?

No, unless there is a unknown vulnerability in that dll.

Thanks for your reply, Touko:

Therefore...its risk is unknown at this moment. I will keep it quarantined in my symantec then, cause GenWE seems work fine while the dll is quarantined. :)

this files is tested by over9000 users...

That's first to hear about. Where do you get it from?
