Hello..!

I need help with random names on Heroes..

I Thought that when I write in name in the Proper Names text box on an Unit it will randomly get on of those names..! But NOOOO..! Any suggestions? :D

I think that there's a box with a "Number of proper names" number in it. You should change that if it's '1'.
If there isn't then tell me on which unit you've based your hero.

EDIT: It could also have sth to do with the classification of the unit if it is a "Campaign Unit" or not.

Cant get it to work, ive tried to change the number to 1, but it does not work.. I tried to make a new unit just to try it out, in case it was the unit i chose that was bad :P
Tried the paladin Hero.. Didnt work!
Any suggerstions.. Ive seen some maps have random names so it shouldent be so hard?

Set the "proper names used" field to however many names you want to use. Then it should work.

Ive Tried that, but when I did it it only went wrong

Like this:

Names: Name1 , Name2 , Name3..

And the proper names used to 3.. but the way it happend for me was like this..
if pnu(proper names used) = 3, then only the name name3 appeard
if pnu = 2 , then name2 and so on..
Maybe its me who are doing something very wrong.. :>

this may be caused by "test map" s use of a fixed random seed by default, just a thought, i dont really know for sure.

yess its the random seed... That happens it will pick a name and stick with it. Just turn off random seed and it will work.
