A unit as a shop

[BruteBrutal]

Trying to create a unit, shape of an old man. Want to make him a neutral unit that anyone of player 1,2 and 3 are able to buy items from but does NOT share vision with.

My problem is that when I add "Items sold" it doesn't show when i stand next to him with any hero. It only works if he is in my team, but I don't want that.

Please help, thank you!

you need to add the ability "sells items" or something like that. look at the standard wc3 neutral shop units, look what kinds of abilities they have. you need to copy them.

should he be marked as "Neutral Passive"?

You can actually just copy "Goblin Merchant" and make it a unit
(remember to give him movement speed and stuff)

yeah I just did that too nice, thanks guys.


One remaining problem though... the map I'm making is a RPG and the house where you select your hero works great, but thats only cus the house is marked as Player 1. How can all get vision of a neutral unit or somehow share the unit so all players can pick a unique hero from that same house?

You can copy the abilitys of the building "Tavern" and then you need to make the heroes you want it to "sell" set under the "Units Sold" tap.

(this will require a nearby patron though)
