Tutorial How to Change a Hero's Appearance into a sheep & put him in the Tavern

[kailashholst]

You cant convert a normal unit into a hero... So, Go into the Object editor, Right click anywhere in the Drop down list and Select
"New Custom Unit"
A new list will appear... then you Write in a name for it eg 'Sheep Boss'
And select A hero from the list you have there..
(Any will do, They just Sound different)
From there, You will get a huge list with different values that look somethethingt like Tinki3s screenshot, Except theres a whole lot of them..
As you will see, They all start with Art - ......... If you scroll down, you will find different things like attack dmg, Speed, stuff like that.
But if you want your hero to look like a sheep, Scroll up to the "Art - ... " Section.
Look for the option that says "Art - Model File",
Double click it.. then thou shalt Find yet another drop down list
Here you can find all the Models.. Eg.. Sheep, Stag, Frog, Owls.. you can make a hero look like a plain archer if you want, but you want a sheep.. right?

So scroll down until you arrive at the "S" Section and find your little sheep model, click it once and press okay.

Voila! you have now changed its appearance... Change Anything else you want in that drop down list.. You can change anything from HP To the unit being able to fly... hey, Why not make it a flying sheep hero

Anyways, if you want to put it in the tavern,
Go into the Drop down list again, Open up the NEUTRAL PASSIVE Folder, then open up MELEE folder, and then BUILDINGS.. now remember that big list where you found the option to change the Model? Well, were going back..
Find "Tavern" On the list.. And that big list should appear again.
Scroll down to the bottom.. and find..
"TechTree - Units Sold" And double click that... Press Add unit And now that familiar list comes into being again.
You will have to Select the drop down list that says "Melee" and change it to custom. Based on what i told you, you should see your sheep hero there. Select him and press okay.
Now if you want to build it.... Go into the normal Map view again.
you know the place where it says..
Terrain
Units
Doodads
.. Well click on Units ----> Neutral Passive ----> Melee ----> Buildings ----> Tavern, that should have highlighted tavern, so just click anywhere on your map and it will make one, PRESTO, You now have a..
Sheep-Hero Vending-Tavern,
ENJOY!, Because it took me hella long to write. ^_^.

May I suggest making it a little neater?

For example, adding mini-titles in some places, with bold headings, and leaving a bigger gap between some lines.

Not a real tutorial IMO, more like a question in a FAQ. Perhaps you would want to read the "Before you ask a question" thread? Using its links answers what you just told there.
