Unit Image

[BSJikan]

I'm trying to set it up to change the picture in a multiboard to the unit someone chooses as their hero. Now, I figure I'd have to set it to a variable, since the Multiboards read strings, so do I need to set it up to something like

If
Unit-Type Equal to Footman
Owner of Unit Equal To Player 1
Then
Set Hero1Image = blah/blah/blah/ImageofFootman.blp
Else

Or is there an easier way to do this?

Oh an I'm doing them all at the same time, the image setting, so I don't have a million triggers checking something when a unit is spawned, and at the end of this trigger is when I set the variable for the picture.

Yep.
No, unfortunately, there is no miracle way to just ask the unit what path its icon uses...

But, you could put all strings in an array, and use the unit's "point value" for example to get the index.
(Assuming you do not need it for something more important)

All I'm doing is setting up the image for the multiboard, just a little bit of making it look pretty. So, what I devised is what I have to do then? Alright. It's a little bit of work, but it's worth it to me .
