I am at the final steps to completing my DotA style game. Using a hero tavern selection system how would I incorperate a random hero and repick function?
 
Random Pick

Well, are you using food to limit the hero purchase at the tavern?
1. Have all your hero types for that team stored in a Unit Type array
2. When any player types -random, take away the food/money and create 1 random number from your hero array for that player.
3. If prefered, make that unit unavailable now.

Unit - Create 1 Unit_Array(random number between 1 and 10) for (triggering player) at <point> facing default building degrees.

Repick Function

If your using food or whatever to keep tabs on the heros, make a trigger when any player types -repick
1. Pick all units owned by (triggering player) matching condition
(condition = unit is a hero) and do remove unit from the game
2. Again if prefered, make that picked unit available again before removing it.
3. Add the food or whatever back on, so they can pick again.

Now, if your only limiting players to one hero, then you don't have to worry about the food and all. Most DOTA maps use food to restrict how many heros a player can pick.
 
availibility

    LOL! A tweak job!

    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That sounds like an adventure.
