Hero icon

How do I put a hero icon thing up in the left hand corner but have no unit on the map, but have it so that unit can be selected?

How can you select a unit when there are no units on the map? Can you please clarify your question?

hum you are right, that makes no sense o_O

"how can i make a hero icon but have no unit on the map" > hide the hero(this makes it unselectable)

I want a hero to be selectable but is no where on the map, so there is no unit there.

I think thats impossible.

I saw it done on the dungeons and dragons map

Please be more specific. There are lots of D&D maps out there. Also, you're basically asking for a non-existant hero to be selectable, which doesn't even make sense.

Oh I guess you're talking about Bibendus' D&D World?
Maybe removing the hero's model and setting its size/selection size to 0.01 could work.

hiding it? (i don't know if this works. cant tell...)

How do I hide a unit?

Use a trigger, hide unit.

Actually, according to the WE all that does is make the unit not appear when you check all the units in a region. It was a good idea though :P

You could always put it on an area of the map and then have triggers to stop the camera from going there, or just use D0nk1ckh0t's idea, its probably the best one.

I could use like a demo or example

Object Editor.

Change the

Art - Scaling Value to 0.01
and
Art - Selection Scale to 0.01

Else if you want to hide it, use Unit - Hide (whatever).
