A very easy to use library with plenty of options. Simply add it to your map, whip in a few heroes and BAM you got yourself a beautiful, full featured hero selection.

Repick option
Custom UI
Settings - most notably:
- Three different hero selection styles
- Skin Color Scheme
- Exclusive Heroes - Allows every unit to be picked only once
- Spawn Immediately - Allows players to start the game before hero picking is finished
- Secret Heroes - Only obtainable through randoming
- Unavailable Heroes - Shown in circle but cannot be obtained
And many small things...

How to use

NOTE: Action Hint Texts do not show due to a bug - go into Library View (View -> Show Library), open libCircleHeroSelection, open the Actions folder and you can read the hint text in the comment of the action.

Download the latest file and import it in the Trigger Editor. View -> Library -> Import Library. You can now see the available actions in your triggers under the label 'Circle Hero Selection'.
Read the manual found in the download section
Make sure you use 'Set Circle Hero Selection At Point'
Then add any amount of heroes with 'Add Unit To Circle Hero Selection Pool'
Now run the action 'Create Circle Hero Selection' Done! Don't forget to check out the additional options.

Bugs / Assistance

Please submit all bugs, as detailed as possible. Attached map greatly preferred. If you need help, ask away. IRC works faster.

Suggestions

At this point, feature development has come to a halt so I can start working on other projects. However, extremely good suggestions will still get implemented.

Localization

An SC2 Library cannot be localized at the moment. It will work with enGB / enUS clients. However Hint Text on Actions are missing due to a bug on Blizzards part. You can find these hint texts if you go into the Library View (View -> Show Library), open the Hero Selection Library folder and go into the Actions folder. Click on the function and you will see the hint text in a comment.

Download

Latest version can always be found in the files section of the project page. Be sure to read the manual.
