Converting a Reg unit to a hero?

[setari]

Is it possible to convert a regular unit to a hero so they get experience and level up, get new skills etc? B/c I want to make a Naga Royal Guard hero... also, with those Naga units, how can i get them to be on my team, if they are neutral? I know i tried doing this once before and it didn't work, but I didnt discover this forum :thup:.

make a custom unit from an existing hero, then change the model to the model that you want along with any stats

Answer to how to change the unit into a hero would be when your in object editor click create custom model or whatever and select a naga hero because other heroes will not be able to swim, so select for example Lady Vashj and then change the - Model File, Icon Interface, Sound Options, Movement(optional) name/description/revive description and whatnot. and obviosly skills.

Answer to how to get the naga units on your team is to open the Tool Palette to the unit palette (hotkey U) and change the player option to Player 1(red) change the race to neutral - naga and change the other option to campaign(default says melee) and there should be a load of units there to choose from.

K I have another question, if anyone is still lookin:

Is it possible to take the custom units that you made in one map (Such as my Naga guy) and put him in another map to spawn him? Cause i made a new map to test this out, and wanted to spawn him in the Altar of Kings, but he is not in the Custom thing, or in the Objects editor. So does this mean I have to make him over and over again for every new map I want to use him in?

Yes.
Though, a simple "copy&paste" will do.

highlight your hero, copy him

open your map without closeing world editor (via open map) and paste your hero into the object editor

U can also export the hero. So it the object editor u can go to file, export units and save it on Your hard drive then u can import it to any maps countless times
