multiboard icons to match units

[Psiblade94122]

so, ive been working on my rpg systems again (yes im still working on it, its been years and yes it isnt done yet =_=)

Anyways, enough about my rpg, the problem exists with the multiboard
I have the board set up so it displays the battles status, that being the turn order of the match, the strings and everything is good untill i hit the icons

i cant find a way to synch a icon (may it be fore hero or creep) to be uniqe for each hero and or creep, meaning i cant get the icon for a pally to show for a pally

So.. other then pre-setting every possible instance for the icons, is there any possible way i can read that icon right off the unit?

I don't think so. The only thing I can think of doing would be to set 2 arrays, which contain the unit type and the other contains the path of the icon, which has the same indicie as the unit.

indicie? whats that?

I think he meant : Index or Value , so you set these variables
Hero[1] = Paladin
Icon[1] = The icon you want

in multiboard : set icon item : ( do a loop til you get the right index e.g. [HERE]) then set it to Icon[Index]

loop ( each integer A )
    if PlayerHero[integer A] == Hero[integer A] 
    then
    set item icon = Icon[integer A]
    else

Not perfect but i hope you get what im trying to say

i see... although that is the very method i said i did not want to do, i think you two have ruled out any other possibilities...
