Help please for two questions

[kvasir]

Hi
I need some help with two things I really need for a map I am making.

1. How do you create Spell Trainers (i.e. NPC's you can talk to and exchange money for learning a spell)
2. How can I create Hi-Res skins which will make models look more realistic?
Thanx in advance

1)

a) Unit enters a region (beside the NPC)
b) use dialog buttons

 

[Dinowc]

1. make the NPC-s as shops (mercenaries) that sell dummy items (best would be tomes) that do nothing but when you acquire them give the ability to the unit
2. uhm... well you can dl some skins (from www.hiveworkshop.com)

 

[kvasir]

what do you mean by dialog buttons?
Abe Vassilev ti da ne si bg be?

 

[Dinowc]

he means when unit comes in range of the NPC a dialog will pop-up with choices
but my suggestion is easier... I mean if there are 10-20 spells, there would also be 10-20 dialog buttons xD

(i.e. NPC's you can talk to

Tomes dont talk

yep, 20 spells, 20 dialog buttons, DoTA wasn't built in a day

what the hell are you talking about? :s there are no dialogs in dota
anyway, if he wants to "talk" to NPC then he could make string events, for example:

e: player 1 types a message containing "buy storm bolt" as a substring
c:
a: give storm bolt to (unit)

or he could convert entered chat string to give the exact spell without making hundreds of triggers (I can't make that one cuz we is closed right now)
