"AddHeroClass" means what? [Solved]

I was looking through the setup_teams.lua and I came across this line;

        -- add hero class if available
        if side[hero] then
            AddHeroClass(side[hero])

Anyone have any idea what that does? It sure looks interesting. The FAQ had nothing that I could find about it.

....
This is the normal code... to add any unit as the hero.
For instance:

Code: Select all

AddUnitClass(REP, "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",1, 2)

I thought that was a different function entirely. It has its own place in setup_teams.

Code: Select all

        -- add unit classes in type order
        for _, type in ipairs(typeList) do
            if side[type] and (not teamItems or not teamItems[name] or teamItems[name][type]) then
                AddUnitClass(team, side[type][1], side[type][2], side[type][3])
            end
        end

        -- add hero class if available
        if side[hero] then
            AddHeroClass(side[hero])
        end
    end
end

I don't think it's any different...

Its so you can have hero="inf_some_heroclass", in your SetupTeams section along with the rest of them soldier="", sniper="", etc...

There is a bug/missing feature in the v1.3 patch. If you use that SetupTeams syntax or the function directly, that unit won't be registered for the FakeConsole commands. Meaning commands using SetClassProperty won't effect any units added with AddHeroClass. I posted about it in the v1.3 topic a few weeks ago.

That explains it. Thanks Zerted.
