XxShadyxX Hero Selection System!​

Introduction:
This system is to help you with a more simpler and easier way of selecting a hero for a rpg/Arena type maps! This is all done in GUI. As you can probally see there are a few leaks but I bet you all know how to fix them.


What does it do?:
Ok so at the start of the game the camara rolls down to eye level at your starting location. Then it will create a hero for each player owned by that player. So how do I change the hero?:eek: You push the left and right arrow keys to cycle through the choices. When you push Left or Right Arrow keys it will replace the hero you see with the next hero or if you pushed left it will go to previous. Also It will automatically select the hero to look at the spells! So how do I choose the hero I want?:confused: Push the up arrow! This will reset your camara and disable the choosing.
This system is totally customizable like you can add a all random mode or a repick system.


Intructions:
First make a camera. Set the camera to Eye Level. Make It face North.(This is IMPORTANT) Ok then copy and paste it at each players start location.

Now we need some variables:
Variable name: Type: Size:
Heros Unit-type Array----- How many heros your going to use.

Camara_Veiw Camara Array----- The amount of camaras your using that are targeting each players start location.

Integer Integer Array----- Amount of players playing.


Unit Unit Group Array----- Amount of players playing.


Boolean Boolean Array----- Amount of players playing.

Ok so first make trigger named Initialization and follow the trigger:

                Camera - Apply Camara_View[(Player number of (Picked player))] for (Picked player) over 1.00 seconds

                Unit - Create 1 Heros[1] for (Picked player) at Point facing Default building facing degrees
                Set Unit[Integer[(Player number of (Picked player))]] = (Last created unit)
                Selection - Select Unit[(Player number of (Picked player))]
                Set Group = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
                Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_Group)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Point)
                Trigger - Turn on Right <gen>
                Trigger - Turn on left <gen>

Ok that’s it! Your hero selection system is complete!

Why use this?
Pros-
1. Faster way of choosing a hero
2. No race to pick a hero
3. Gives you a closer look at a hero (literally) To see spells and attributes faster
4. Saves room in your map to place something that you might need there.
Cons
1. Slight lag in beginning but goes away

Well that’s it! Thank you for looking at this system and I Hope you use it! Please give credit if you use it!
Thanks Happy map making!:thup:

Changes in 1.1
-Extreme less lag
-Camera stays in place
-Leaks removed

Demo Map available? :eek: systems are so nice because you dont have to do everything by your own....
 
Ok there is a demo map now! Gl hf! Please ppl test it out and comment!!
 
Neat system :)

I found it annoying though that the camera kept trying to move while I was selecting heroes :p

+rep and props for a cool system and effort.
 
Dude.. Wtf is all this spam?!
You posted 6 times in a row!

Isn't this the same as your other 'system'?

Leaks: none
Click to expand...
As you can probally see there are a few leaks but I bet you all know how to fix them.
Click to expand...
Gj contradicting yourself. Also, a system should minimize work for the user.
 
oops sorry i havent edited the codes becuase the 1.1 of the system is leakless!
dude yea I posted 6 times in a row but each one is 24 hours apart...
sorry I forgot to edit it....

and as to the other system I redid it to be less laggier and better and rewrote it to have better description
 
They're not 24 hours apart.
In order, they're: 22 minutes, >24 hours, 12 hours, 10 hours, ~24 hours.

Anyway, you could've updated the old system, right? :)
 
not really.... too hard becuase I would have to rewrite everything and ugh.... find out which is suppose to stay or not... so sorry
anyway thx for the +rep :D
 
I gave you +Rep? I don't remember :p
Oh well ^^
 
lol thx...
anyway people I would love more comments on this.. I will update the codes soon but it is already on the 1.1 version of the map so dl that and copy and paste...
 
not sure lol maybe fix the bouncing it dose at times when changing heros (screen trys to move and bounces back)

lol but realy its a realy good slection im gessing its baseded off the race map(forgot its name lol)


EDIT: i came up with an idea lol is it posible for you to add a random function to it :D and maybe allow it so the host choses all random or all pick at the start basicly allowing it to be used more for hero arenas :D ^^ im just starting my first hero arena and might end up using this for the slection becuse i hate the normal circle slection lol
 
Nope not based on anything... Just thought of it one day and made it...
I already fixed the bouncing.. check out v1.1
 
i was using 1.1 lol :D
just thought u must have learnt the idea from that map lol

    Added the visually stunning Galaxy Cocktail https://www.thehelper.net/threads/cocktail-galaxy-cocktail.194703/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    Ok
