Peon hero?

Well as some of you know i am a major major major major major noob... i got game like 3 weeks ago and im only starting to make maps... i started yesterday.. :) now now i knwo the basics like triggers and stuff but im still rusty on the unit editing.. how do i make a peon a hero??



*heh my noobery is overwhelming*emote_sweat

You can either change an existing hero or custom a unit that is a hero. Change there unit model and Inteface icon. And you have a peon hero :D

thank you.. wow i got a reply within 2 minutes !! gotta love these forums

Can a have a custom unit that is hero, have spells ability, can level up, have inventory and at the same time can build buildinds?

possible?

yes all making a custom hero/unit does is it takes a copy of the unit your basing it off of and pastes it into the map.. so that means all of its stats/art/abilites etc are the same as the base but now u can edit the unit and have another as well in fact u can actually highlight a unit in object manager hit ctrl+c then ctrl+v wait... wait.... wait.... wait... wait... wait.... and bang youll have a new unit under custom units folder :D

One of the Heroes in my map (link to it is in sig) is a Peon. =)

Here's how I made it:
1. Right-click Tauren Chieftan and choose "Copy Unit".
2. Right-click again and choose "Paste Unit".
3. Now there is a Tauren Chieftan in the Custom Units section. Select it.
4. Change the "Art - Icon - Game Interface" to "Peon".
5. Change the "Art - Icon - Score Screen" to "Peon".
6. Change the "Art - Model File" to "Peon".
7. Change the "Sound - Unit Sound Set" to "Peon".
8. Change the "Text - Name" to (whatever you want to call your Hero).

Then go and edit all the other stats as you wish, change the spells, etc. :)

yea i just figured that out myself like 5 minutes b4 u posted :o

thanks anyways for taking the time to help :)

I wish all noobs were like you, most of them would be all like;
"just change art - model!"
"wuh?"
"Its in your custom hero based off the old one, i told you!"
"do i need triggers?"

Why all posted answers ignored my question?

is that very hard?

As far as I know, you can do everything except for build structures, but I'm working on that. If you use the "Tiny Building" abilities and turn them in to spells somehow, you might be able to get it to work, though. That's the best I can think of.

oh good, tell me later if you are able to make it work ;)

txs =D

what do you mean by that? lol

if u want him to build buildings along with being a hero just give your peon hero the unknown (****) ability that the peons really have... just look at the normal peon under melee>units
