Custom race and First Hero Free

[AceHart]

Your first Hero should come for free,
like in all melee games.

However, with a custom race... that's not quiet like it

The problem being that "melee game - create starting units for all players",
can not be used.

So, currently, I go with
- create starting units for player at player start position (include heros)
- pick every unit and remove it
- create starting units by hand

Works perfectly, the "include heroes" part does the job of making the first Hero free.
I simply undo its building/units placement and
put in my own.

Now, well, isn't there a "better" way of doing things?
Some action that would do this without
having to resort to sort of violence

"Custom action - make first Hero free"?


That said, I now just wish for an AI Editor that can work with custom units/buildings/thingies...



Hope to read you soon

Did you base the heroes of the custom races on a campaign hero? That might cause the problem.

there is a melee trigger that sais something like game- hero melee or something just include it

What problem do you have in mind, Mind?
Mine is that "create starting units" can not be used...

That said, there's several Heroes (right now 3):
- one from the "normal" game
- a Naga Sea Witch (this is, indeed, a campaign Hero)
- my own personal favorite (some long time ago based on a Crypt Lord, but definitely unrecognizable)

Hm...
I've looked the action list up and down, diagonal, backwards, fast forward, slow motion, you name it I've looked it.

This one, however, I don't see it. Or even something remotely ressembling it.

Besides, just as a note, "this map can not be considered a melee map anymore"
(or whatever that default Editor text )
