Turning a Unit into a Hero

[xzhermitzx]

Is there any possible ways to turn a Unit [ Example : Swordsman ] into a Hero?

*I feel so noobish D:*

You need NewGen to do this:

1. Copy and Paste that unit
2. When prompted for the new ID, capitalize the first letter of the ID
3. DONE

EDIT: I found out about this by accident. So yah, it's a "hidden feature"

I suggest you to just create a New Custom Unit based on a hero.
@ your question .. I don't really know

say u want to make a swordsman hero

right click on a pre existing hero such as the palidan and create a new unit, rename wat u like, then copy all the art values of the swordsman over to the new unit

As Xienoph already said, just make the starting letter of your new unit a capital letter (in NewGen, not vanilla W3 Editor!), and it will automagically make it a hero unit - you'll still have to manually set it's STR/AGI/INT gain, and it's main attribute, since those are left blank by default for no-hero units.

Yes, you could do this if you really dislike using NewGen, but it's cumbersome and slow (this is how the old DotA heroes were made, I looked into the open DotA maps a while back). Anyway, if you really hate NewGen that much, open it up, make your new hero from a unit as described above, save your map, and just go back to using regular W3 Editor! :thup:
