Have you ever wanted to see hero icons of your allied players?
(without being able to control them)

JASS:

scope ShowAllyIcons initializer Init 

//===========================================================================
// The trick is to give advanced control but not shared control
// That way you see allied hero icons, but cannot control them
//===========================================================================
private function SetAlliance takes player sourcePlayer, player otherPlayer returns nothing
    call SetPlayerAllianceStateAllyBJ(        sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, true  )
    call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_VISION, true)
    //call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_CONTROL, true)
    call SetPlayerAlliance(sourcePlayer, otherPlayer, ALLIANCE_SHARED_ADVANCED_CONTROL, true)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
private function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return true
endfunction

//===========================================================================
//  Sets same alliances between 7 starting players
//===========================================================================
private function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = 0
    local integer j
    loop
        exitwhen i>=6
        set j = i + 1
        loop
            exitwhen j>=7
            call SetAlliance(Player(i), Player(j))
            call SetAlliance(Player(j), Player(i))
            set j = j + 1
        endloop
        set i = i + 1
    endloop
endfunction

//===========================================================================
private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger trig = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( trig, 0.00 )
    call TriggerAddCondition( trig, Condition( function Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( trig, function Actions )
endfunction

endscope


Now I have a problem with this, it works but for up to 5 players in one team.
(One hero icon and 4 allied icons are always shown)
So it is great idea for 5vs5 AoS maps

But if you want to make 7 player map (7 samurai, 7 illidans ...)
It does not work because wc3 reserves 3 hero slots for player's heroes,
so only 4 can be used for allies.
(see the attached map)

Can anyone find a solution for this to work for 7 players?

Can someone make this into a proper resource?
Someone was sending me a pm asking for it because he/she could not find a link.

This is useful, no need for it to be lost in the crowd and reinvented over and over.

You should do it although I amended it. If I submitted this as a proper resource I'll be killed for stealing.

I would do it but I don't like getting flamed for stealing resources unless you permit it :D

@wraithseeker

This is not "mine", it has been around for some time and a lot of people contributed ideas.

So feel free to do it and add some credits if you feel necessary (no need as far as I am concerned)

Oh and make sure you put some nice structured comments.

PS: you will get rep for saving my time.

Just a thought:

This should not be a standalone system but a function
JASS:

function ShareAllyIcons takes force x returns nothing

That way it is more custom, for example if you have 2 teams you call:
JASS:

call ShareAllyIcons(GoodForce)
call ShareAllyIcons(EvilForce)


also you should add a constant:
JASS:

// distance between your hero icon and that of friendly heroes
private constant integer IconSpacing = 1

//.. implementation
call SetReservedLocalHeroButtons(IconSpacing+1)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
