Icons in Multiboard?

[Komaqtion]

Hi!
I was just wondering if it's possible to change the icon of a player in a multiboard, to what hero it has?

Like if i made a hero arena and i chose the hero "Death Knight", would it be possible to change the icon in my row in the multiboard to that hero's icon ??

And how do i know how much width i need on the multiboard for, for example player names ???

1) Yes, the changing icon action is in the multiboard section. I would put it in your pick heroes trigger(s) so that you know which icon to change.

2) Play around, the more width, the longer it is. Just test in game to find an appropriate size.

Use this action:

Multiboard - Set the icon for (Last created multiboard) item in column 1, row 1 to UI\Feedback\Resources\ResourceGold.blp

But i mean with the icon, how can i efficiently set it to the icon of the player's hero ??
and so there is nothing like set the width to player name length ??

you would need 2 arrays ...
1 array of all the hero types
and another one (string array) with all the paths to the icons for the heros ...

That means, all of the icons and heroes string you should declare it ealier in map initialization. So, when you buy a hero, the icon will be shown on the multiboard.

You don't think you could show me this in a trigger ?

EDIT: This is how the trigger looks... how would i change it to make it use the variables you said, and could you show me a trigger setting the variables ??
