How would I set the starting hero in the map editor?

[AmySloth]

Wondering if it's possible to set who will be the starting hero in the map editor for a custom scenario. I don't mean the leader, I have that figured out but can't seem to figure out how to or where to edit the hero spawner to set who is the first one.

Thanks in advance for any/all answers!

Without removing them from the mod editor you have to turn off random hero spawns in the user setting of the map.

Then spawn then by finding the hero in the unit spawn list and spawn them by putting them in a spawn list with a timer from turn 1 with the following script and place a green marker with an custom alias.

HexWorld:GetScriptingS():SpawnGroupSpawnAtPosition("SPAWNERGROUP", HexWorld:GetScriptingS():GetPosition("MARKERALIAS"), "SW")

Thanks! I didn't think to look for hero spawning settings in someplace other than the heroes tab or spawner tab XP Probably would have taken me a while to find it if you hadn't mentioned it being in the user settings.

Edit:

Also, for anyone else interested, to turn off the auto hero spawner it's in settings>map settings>main>user settings>spawn random heroes

This setting was what was mostly evading me lmao.
