Opinion on hero selection.

[CrazyImpling]

Okay, was making an AOS map, and wanted to add new stuff. So, what would everyone say if I added a selection system that you click on the hero and it displays a message to the triggering play. And then to choose the hero you hit escape and it will pop up a dialog that gives you the 'Yes' or 'No' options? This way I could keep away from the evil taverns of doom.

It's not a bad idea, but I think I might eliminate the hitting ESC part. Make the dialog come up when the unit is selected. That's just my opinion.

Well, if the dialog pops up when you click on the hero, it would cover up part of the message that would have the abilities of the hero.

 

[Ghan]

I thought of that, but of course, you would be able to see it after you hit "No", right?

 

[CrazyImpling]

True... Didn't think of that part of it. Now... to figure out my heroes..

 

[Ghan]

You could give the actual appearance of the dialog a wait so players have a chance to look at the stats first.

Why not use Vexorian's Hero Selector? Instead of clicking No, you click Yes Plus you get to view the skills.

But back to your suggestion, I'm guessing the message will descripe the hero right? (Main Attribute, Abilities, etc.) Well esc is good, OR you could type. (What if ESC key doesn't work on someone's trigger?! OMG!)

True... What is the link to Vex's hero selector? I'll take a look at it.
