[Trigger] Replacing the 'BUILD' icon

This is unecessarily the most difficult problem i've had trouble with in making my map. It will not be replaced through Game Interface, even replacing every Command- Build icon path. The worst part is I can replace Attack, Hold Position, and ANY other icon aside from Build. I posted this on wc3sear.ch but no one could figure it out. anyone know?

thats becouse every race has its own icon for "BUILD". Try changing path to replacabletextures\commandbuttons\Name of icon+race.blp than it will change if you use race race for wich you use icon...

say that more clearly, i dont' quite understand.
but if you meant replace the path for the RACE BUILD ICON, I've done it and had no luck. I've also done that, and then added the Build- Human ability to the list of abilities, still no luck with the icon. you try it, then tell me if it works for you.

Hmmm, sounds like the build icon might be hardcoded in, which would be annoying. Perhaps try to find maps where someone has replaced the build icon and then find out how they did it.

i have. this is where protected maps bug me
the only one i can remember witha custom build icon is protected. i'm wondering if he did it by triggers instead. but that would be WAY out of someones way to do.

Change it in the 'game interface', under advanced.

Here you can change exp bars, consoles, sounds for a race's
'We're under attack etc.'
And hopefully it has the build icon. Give me an minute or two.

EDIT

OK, i was wrong. I don't know either. Will keep looking~

EDIT #2

Ok, I looked more carefully. I was right. LOL XD

Err, You'll have to look more carefully if you already know how to replace the Attack Icon.

EDIT #3

Ok, posted Screenie. Btw yeah, that's brad's terrain at the most unprofessional camera you are looking at behind.
Sorry for not attaching. Editing my post and attaching something isnt allowed in the interface...



Hope it helped you!

that's what i was saying, i've changed all those.

i think someone (or you, i'm too lazy to click the back button) said that you need to put that path as "HumanBuild" and "NightElfBuild" etc. Is that right? I didn't, but do I need to?

Could you like, rephrase? I didn't understand much.

... Change at the Game Interface, nothing is realy needed other than that.

you obviously haven't tried this, go try to add a new build icon buy simply changing it in the game interface. it wont work.

I think...You should just import an icon and replace the path. Don't change it.

if you've been reading, this is what I did and I said it didn't work. Does anyone know of a map I can use as a reference that has custom build icons?

Ok, I'm at my wits end. Sorry.

Import a icon and change the path works fine. I tested it:
