Hero Creation Template Map

Hello :)

I have made a hero creation system that works with multiboards. You can choose your abilities and attributes with the arrow-keys and submit with the escape key.
After you have chosen the abilities and attributes of your hero a status multiboard appears that features an expierience-, life- and manabar and a display of your abilities & attributes.

Everybody who wants is allowed to use this system in his/her map ;)


Features:
  • Choose Attributes and Abilities with multiboard
  • Extensive status multiboard, that shows expierience, life, mana, abilities and attributes.
  • At level-up you get points to spend on abilities and attributes.
  • "Virtual" multiboard inventory that can store up to 30 items. It's easy to add or drop items from it.
  • Easy to implement in your own map.

Sup 0siris, awesome work man.

God, havn't been back to wc3 for ages (You've got me out of retirement lol) ... I started work on a similar project to this, however I used normal leaderboards and dialogs.

It is pretty easy to edit aswell, you have done a good job on keeping it simple.

I for one am going to modify this a bit, and see what I can come up with. I'll be sure to credit you, least I can do mate. Good work again.

I look forward to what else you bring forth.

Osiris this is amazing work. Could revolutionize Aos play. If u ge t it to work with multi player and model select. Maybey if u get far into it in the future u can make one that lets u attach models to certain points. Like if sum1 imported a wing model attachment. They could attach it to his face or back or his hand. Not to many places tho.

This is really cool! I would like to see it continously increment/decrement through the list (in a time fashion) while a key is pressed, and stop when its released. Also I suggest exiting when the submenu when you have no more points.

One thing is it would make heroes generic, you could have a archmage that is a strength based hero (which would be foolish). Another thing is if you dont choose any spells it doesnt give you any, either you should renable this or give them default skills.

I like many others hate having my control centered, I would suggest ability to disable the whole system (you only need it while upgrading), so you do not have to be centered and you can use your keys to move about.

I think the whole item thing is too clunky, I would suggest Weaaddars backpack.

Well what pretty much everyone is failing to realise is this is a bit like VB or phpBB.

I mean no one uses the stock versions of VB without modifing it a bit. I mean I for one can incorporate this into a map of mine, however my map has six level 10 spells, and no ultimate. With a bit of editing I have already figured out how to acomplish this.

The generic hero thing would you really want to add it without a preview of the models? I would prefer making it myself so you can preview the models, then once you have selected the models, pause that unit and throw up the multiboard.

Not that hard now is it? :)

Thanks for the many suggestions :)

Kk, the continously in/decrement will be added in next version, exiting the submenu when you have no points too.
Yes, probably I'll give them default abilities/attributes (even though you get notified if you didn't waste all the points).
I'll think about the ability to disable the control/camera-lock, but probably I'll put it in too :D

Since I need for every model that can be selected a own Model, they will have the proper main attribute.

I'll keep my item-system.

I have 108 heros that I can send you. 36 models (Times three for each base attribute; Str, Agi, Int). All heros are set up to be used in conjunction with your scripting (5 Base Str/Agi/Int, no abilities, no food costs, etc etc). I am going to use them for one of my maps, along with some mods I will have to write for your script, but if it helps you in anyway just tell me and I can send you the file.

Hey, mine wont work. I downloaded da map and for some reason everytime i try to either:
Play it in Frozen Throne,
Or
Open it in World Editor it quits. This may be because i recently rebooted my comp and i lost my War3 Patches.
Anyone know why?

It probably only works with the 1.15 patch.
