Thanks sweetzombiejesus (lol)
I was planning on having a selectable hero for my map and this will really help provided it works for my map.
I will try it out. i'm sure you'll see it in action soon :)

Ah ok had to run the spawn players too.
Can you add em to msn messenger or skype?
Pretty easy, made a slight change to spawn players trigger.
Now I just need to make the cameras work properly
Unit - Create 1 Picked Hero[((Picked player) - 1)] for player (Picked player) at (Start location of player (Picked player)) using default facing (No Options)
Script working perfectly for me now.
Thanks a lot, i'm sure it will benefit the user experience of my map :)
PS, what software did you use to record your video? Fraps?
Yea fraps for recording
Sorry I didnt respond to help :P Come to IRC for instant answer if im awake
Ah and you made me realize i forgot the camera step in the first post :P
Fixed now
Really nice! I just put it into my map, took a lot of tweaking of the camera angle and such, but it finally works just how i want it.
Just one question... Is it possible to limit the choice of heroes, so that if 1 player picks a hero, it is removed from the selection? Cause in my map i dont want 2 players to be able to have the same hero :( If you can't answer this, i'll try and play around with it a bit...
In the beginning, the universe was created.
This was regarded as a bad move and made a lot of people angry.

Made this for you libCircleHeroSelectionWithExclusiveHeroes
Should work, did not test it in multiplayer
Changes are all in the 'Camera Turning & Selection' trigger, towards bottom
Enjoy
Thanks! havent tested it out in multiplayer yet, but i will later once i re-upload the map with some fixes, etc. If you wonder which map it is, its Gates of Darkness, its uploaded here. Gonna add you into the credits right away... hope that blizzard wont kill me for your username xD
Anyway, one problem is taht you have the wrong order for the if then else functions when selecting a hero. It will first set the varible "hero taken" to true, and THEN try to pick the hero, which will fail because of the condition... Moving the second if then else up makes it work again though :)
Yea its like that so you cant pick the hero another player already has If you put the second if statement first, then the whole hero check thing is pointless, since the variable gets set after the hero has been picked, the local variable gets killed after the trigger ends
I looked it over and it looks correct to me, maybe im too tired
Anyway the multiplayer test reveals all
Upon opening the original map and testing it, it works great. However, when I go into the triggers section, I get 8 "Warning: Orphaned trigger parameter removed from Function Call'Apply Camera Object' " etc messages and all the titles of triggers are blank, as well as the triggers themselves breaking. Might be a total noob mistake, but can anyone explain what's going wrong?
Odd, I had this problem too.
Haha well at least it isn't just me I guess? Hopefully when SweetZombieZesus comes back online he can clarify this for us both.
its not working for me either, its all blank lables and 'no value.' you cant set the hero choices variables they're stuck as 'unknown' :( This is either a problem with our map editor or we had problems downloading the file, heres the wall of text of errors from the version with exclusive heroes

I could definitely use something like this on my map. Much more work to do before I get up to that stage though. Hopefully I can come up with something different but equally cool.
You just need to create a camera.
For my map i didn't create a default camera, I selected the default game camera under functions(i think) and this makes the camera go to eahc players start location i think.
I definitely created the camera first. But the problem isn't isolated completely to my map, it even effects the author's map. Any other tips? Because the author's map DEFINITELY has a camera, as it works...UNLESS you press the triggers. Download the default library map, run it. Works fine, right? Now without modifying anything, open up triggers. You will see what I mean. Then try running it. Fail =( Help please haha.
