Hero Selection System problem

10-24-2006, 09:08 PM

I have a problem with this Hero Selection system I'm trying to implement into my AoS. I still have lots of things I want to modify, but thoes will come later. If anyone would be willing to help me modify it for my map, I would be very grateful :)

The problem I'm facing right now, is that when the game starts, the system is supposed to change the facing of the cam, and show the first hero. Instead, it shows the X that is supposed to appear when a hero is selected, at the center of the map. Although it DOES work, if I press the left or right arrow key as it is supposed to, but to me it seems like it has created this X as a part of the heroes...

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the trigger here? I this is not my creation, I'm only modifying it for my own purpose (with permision of course, a loooong time ago :)) I'm attaching the original map, but that also has a problem with the X appearing, even though the characters haven't been selected.

Any help appreciated

shadowange1	Maybe you should attach the map with the trigger cause i don't understand what is meant by the X appearing. attaching the map would also make it easier to see whats wrong with it because then exactly whats wrong with it can be seen.

Deffinatly, I'll do that later tonight when I get off work.

Edit: The point of the X is to tell people if a character is already picked or not, however it doesn't work properly... The map I'm using it in, is different from the test map, but shouldn't really pose a problem, as it SHOULD be easy enough to implement... If someone out there would like to help me expand this great selection system, please, let me know :) I'll get the map up around 7 or 8pm GMT+1.
