Random Heroes?

I think it would be interesting if I could somehow implement the use of random heroes when plain Phase I or Phase II clones are used. (Excluding the few maps that have Jedi Generals that lead a specific legion) I know that each side can only use 9 different classes at a time. Maybe I'll add all heroes to new sides. hbd hgd
Ex: Enter the map Naboo Theed as the Republic and play as Jinn or Kenobi when the hero is unlocked.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Do you mean rotating heroes on one specific map? I don't know if that is possible. I know that you can pre-load a random hero before the map starts, and that you can assign specific units to specific heroes.

Rotating heroes on one specific map, the specific hero assignment per unit also sounds intriguing. It would be awesome to see multiple heroes during conquest. Maybe I'll let bots use them as well.

I don't know how well it would work or if it would work at all, and I've only really tested it once or twice for Unification, but what you could do is create a looping timer that, upon elapse, initiates a math.random function to decide a new hero.
Example:
Code: Select all
function DecideSSVHeroClass()
CreateTimer("ssv_hero_timer")
SetTimerValue("ssv_hero_timer", 45)
StartTimer("ssv_hero_timer")
ShowTimer("ssv_hero_timer")
OnTimerElapse(
function(timer)
DecideSSVHeroClass = math.random(1,4)
print("execute 'decide ssv hero class")
if DecideSSVHeroClass == 1 then
print("decide ssv hero::decide shepard class")
DecideShepClass() -- decide random Shepard class
elseif DecideSSVHeroClass == 2 then
print("decide ssv hero::samara")
SetHeroClass(REP, "ssv_hero_samara")
elseif DecideSSVHeroClass == 3 then
print("decide ssv hero::jack")
SetHeroClass(REP, "ssv_hero_jack")
elseif DecideSSVHeroClass == 4 then
print("decide ssv hero::legion")
SetHeroClass(REP, "ssv_hero_legion")
else
end
SetTimerValue("ssv_hero_timer", 45)
StartTimer("ssv_hero_timer")
end,
"ssv_hero_timer"
)
end

Finally got a chance to try this out. It does not randomize the heroes but you can still choose between them after getting to the class selection menu. I cannot use the number of heroes I was hoping for, each time I add a new one it takes up one of the 3 slots remaining for classes.

The additional hero uses the first heroes spawn lines and death lines.All the heroes within the game have been moved over to the "JED" side. Maybe I should make the heroes a separate side? I'm not even sure how many heroes I could use at once.
Does anyone know of another method I could use?
