Hero name

Is it possible to change a heroes name with triggering?

It's not even possible to change a hero's name with triggering.

Okay thanks =)

It's not possible to change a hero's name, full stop (unless you're making a full on single player mod, at which point you could look at custom natives, but they're more trouble than they are worth for something like this).

yea you are properly right ...

If the proper name will be from a finite set of them, you could just chaos the hero inot another identical hero with a different proper name. Otherwise, you can do an ungly overlap trick some dude did a long time ago around here.

No it's not changing the name to some random stuff, I need the hero to have a players name.

Can't be done. This is not a probably. We have had several threads with some of the best wc3 mappers and modders, and came back with no workable solution.

Ok thanks then i will just forget it ..

Cant you do some crazy jass doo-hickey like:
Set 'upro' of picked unit to name of owner of picked unit?
I always thought that jass could do crazy stuff like that.

Yea it can, but you will need to make yuor own custom native..

Custom Netives != JASS.
JASS can't cook coffee neither, how the germans say :D

I wanted to do the same thing in a mod that i'm working on now. Well it's actually a card game and i just wanted the card master to have the name of the player. But unfortunately it can't be done. Sometimes i think blizzard is setting limitations for no reason... Or they made the we program to do just what they needed for the campaigns or the maps they provide (i mean if you play them you'll see that they use every single possibility of the we nothing less)

its still a better WE than Starcraft has
