Posts from Creating your own hero. Auto-translated

We take a hero, in the object's property tree, we select "Shared" and click on "...".
In the right part of the newly opened window, we are interested in the HeroCharacterArena and HeroCharacterAdventure properties. For each of them, we click on "..." and select the Minotaur (Characters\Creatures\Dungeon). We don't rush to close the window: the Minotaur lacks animations that heroes should have. We select ArenaAnimSet and click on "...". For complete happiness, it lacks buff, cast, defeat, and victory animations. We right-click on animations, add in the opened menu, in the kind field, we write the name of the animation that we don't have, and in the Anim property, we copy the value of this property from some other animation (to taste). That's basically it. The only problem is the melee attack, because our Minotaur, in theory, cannot shoot. Unfortunately, standard creature animations are not suitable for melee attacks, so I can only suggest adding rangeattack to the list of animations above for shooting.

Let the Druid keep his original animation. He has enough animation variations to be a hero.

Then change the Model and AnimSet to those of the Druids.

As far as I know, there isn't a simple way to do that. But in principle, it's not a big deal; Alaric runs around at a normal size and doesn't complain. And in Maya, you can do anything.

What about a non-standard shot? A Ranger-style shot?

Check the CreatureVisual in the hero's properties. There you'll find the model/effect for the shot.

This might help.

As an alternative, you can use the Druid's default CreatureVisual, which will give him a regular attack animation, just like any other creature.
