Right now, clicking on Random in my dialog just creates a Paladin for Team 1 and an Archsorceress for Team 2, as you can see ^^
What would i need to do to make it create a random hero? I have 6 different so what I am really asking is, how can i create one of 6 random units using a dialog?

My map: http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1029471

Make another trigger with a unit array thats declared on map init, setting up each unit...

Example

• -set Unit[1] = Hero1

• -set Unit[2] = Hero2

etc...

Then on your dialog you will make a random button... When that button is clicked you will then use this action...

• Create 1 Unit[Random Integer between 1/#] for Your Player

Replaces the # with the max heroes you have...

Again, you come to my rescue Thanks alot. Can you set variables in Map intialization?

Oh and would you mind testing my map and giving your comments on it sometime?

Yes, variables can be set at map init

Okay... I have just tested it by restarting the map over and over again approx. 20 times and everytime i got th first hero... Would you say that classifies as not working? Seriously though, what could be wrong?

Go into File -> Preferences -> Test Map -> Uncheck "Use Fixed Random Seed"
and then try again, or just try it out on b.net

Set 2 other thing too

Set random_count = 6
Set random_hero = (random integer between 1 and random_count)
and all the hero variables and than..

next trigger
Event
(you choose when it shall random )
Conditions
Actions
Unit - create 1 heroesrandom[random_hero] for triggering player at center of playable map facing defualt buldings degrees

Hmm I don't see why that would make any difference at all, but I guess it's worth a try

Using fixed random seed means that every time you test it uses the same random number it generated the first time.

Wow I totally overlooked that post, sorry. Hmm I guess your version saves me some triggers and variables
