Is there a way to set the number of reserved hero buttons?

I could've sworn this was possible, but I've searched through trigger actions, object properties, and game constants with no luck.

In the default state, when a player shares advanced control, his heroes are placed starting at slot 4. I want to change this to be slot 2 because, in my map, each player can only have up to one hero at a time--not 3 like in standard melee.

Does anyone know how to do this?


EDIT:

Also, is there a way to hide the 'team resources' board?

I know for a fact that you can reserve one hero button for a hero, and there is a normal gui trigger action called Reserve Hero Button for Local Player. Dunno which category is in though.

EDIT: I believe if you create a multiboard, then it replaces team resources board. Not sure what happens if you hide the newly created multiboard after that.

Woot.. awesome. Thanks.
I didn't think to look in the Hero section: "Hero - Reserve x Hero buttons for local player" Odd trigger... apparently, everyone has to have it set to teh same value--there's no 'player' variable, but that's fine for my purposes ^_^

Good idea.. for some reason, I didn't think it'd be editable through the normal multiboard triggers. In fact, my tests show that "Multiboard - Hide all multiboards" will hide it--even on Map Initialization. Also weird--but good for me.


Thanks!
