No hero icon

Another interesting question,
I've been working on a map where everybody is a hero (still have more than a few kinks to work out...) and I've run into a specific problem I can't seem to solve, if its even solvable.
Is ot possible to make it so there aren't any or only a few specific hero icons. I mean like when you train a hero their icon will appear in the upper right with the current points attached to it.
So basically, how do I make it so say, only the tauren chieftain has the icon and the far seer, blademaster, shadow hunter don't? Or is there a way to get rid of them completly?

You would have to make them units and emulate them being heroes by storing xp they should gain to variables, and replacing them with the next level of them each time they "leveled". Then, of course, come the spells.


Actually, now that I think about it, I think there's an option "Stats - Show UI" in the unit's object editor fields. That might do something useful for you, too.

If you talking about the hero image icons that appear whenever a hero's summoned, i think u can take it out with triggers. I know i remember from one of the triggers that u can make the hero icon gone...

In the object editor, under the unit tab, there should be a "display interface icon" button I believe. This unchecked, should not show their icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen.... if that;s what you're talking about, and if I'm not crazy and am just spouting words from the bowls of hell.

If you mean the icons in the upper left, then you should look at these fields in the object editor:

Stats - Hero - Hide Hero Interface Icon -> True/False
Stats - Hero - Hide Hero Death Message -> True/False
Stats - Hero - Hide Minimap Display -> True/False

yeah, that's what I was referring to.
