Adding Heroes in Created Scenarios

[eddieballgame]

Being able to add 'experience points' to units via the Editor when creating a scenario is a nice feature.
What I would like to be able to do is add heroes to specific units.
This would allow for one to create scenarios with a bit more accuracy per historical battles.
Thoughts?

All hero assignment is done via a script in the editor that calls on LUA functions.

For examples to learn from and reserve engineer, you can look at practically any of the DLC scenarios, because one of the new features of the DLC was to start populating maps with enemy heroes, where the base game has none of that.

Thank you, sir...much appreciated.

Kerensky - any chance we can have the editor upgraded so that we dont have to engineer units in some way to get a hero? I havent purchased all the DLC yet and from the base game would like to put heroes onto units in designed scenarios especially for multiplayer - but I have no idea how to do it. There is a "button" on the editor to allow a player to have heroes - same with traits - but it doesnt seem to work.....

I found this which might be useful.

Thanks but this doesnt really help in scenario design. If the only way to get access to the LUA scripts that setup heros is to buy the DLC I guess I'll have to do it, but it wasn't top of my preference list!

Per this game, I have purchased all the DLCs & have not regretted it.

The DLC is not required to make any of the new LUA script functions work. Same goes with access to new units such as all the Spanish Civil War rosters... All functionality is baked into the base version of the game through game updates.

But it is a huge knowledge base of examples of various new mechanisms in action (ripe for reserve engineering), and a ready made campaign for players to immediately play.

Just decided to buy all the DLC content so now I have it - but cant find any of the campaign related files to have a look at in order to "reverse engineer" and work out how to use heroes, traits etc in multiplayer. Where do scenario files for the DLC sit? How can I access them to have a look?

It's PanzerCorps2\Content\Campaigns in the installation folder. There's a folder for each campaign and sub-folders for missions.

Thanks - ah.....the old base game vs save game folder thing! Dont know why scenario save files go to a different place - didnt check the base game installation folders. All explained.
