Posts from Scripts

Does anyone know how the startCombat function works? I'm planning to create a series of campaigns, but before that, I want to test all the scripts. Here's the thing: I saw in the manual that an enemy hero can be used as an enemy in combat, and in the fifth mission of campaign 6, the hero's stats were stored in the map file. How can I do that?;)

And a similar question about siegeTown: how do I set the city's stats?

If I understand the question correctly, you need to, for example, create a copy of the standard town description in your map (this will be a file with an extension like AdvMapTownShared), customize it as needed, and then specify it as a parameter in SiegeTown. The Heroes files, such as AdvMapHeroShared, are copies of standard heroes or new heroes; they are automatically generated when you manipulate the Shared hero.

Could you elaborate? I don't understand how the town file in the game folder relates to the fact that StartCombat triggers a battle with a hero.

you can specify the town file as a parameter in SiegeTown, without placing it on the map. StartCombat is not relevant here.

Oh, I didn't notice his question below, sorry.

I'm hearing about the StartCombat function requiring the enemy hero's file to be specified for the first time... I've always specified the script name of the hero from the reserve.

That’s exactly what I meant; StartCombat has nothing to do with it. I was only referring to SiegeTown.

Is there a function or script that can be used to make the AI attack a town or player? I need it so that as soon as a player enters a zone, certain AI armies immediately rush to attack the player's heroes and castles, if the player captures them.

How can I make an allied hero follow the main hero, like Laslo does on the second map of the "Frida's Dilemma" campaign?

via MoveHero to the coordinates of the desired hero, minus 1, for example.

use MoveHero to move to the coordinates of the desired hero, minus 1, for example

Thank you!

How do you make an allied hero follow the main hero, like Laszlo does in the second map of the "Freyda's Dilemma" Campaign?

I found it in the same mission: a script that makes him follow her:

MustFollow = 1
OUR_HERO_FREYDA = "Freyda";
OUR_HERO_LASZLO = "Laszlo";
FOLLOWING_RADIUS = 5.5;

function Distance(Object1,Object2)
if IsObjectExists(Object1) == true then
Obj1_x,Obj1_y,Obj1_z = GetObjectPosition(Object1);
else
print("Object1 ",Object1," doesn't exist");
return -1;
end;
if IsObjectExists(Object2) == true then
Obj2_x,Obj2_y,Obj2_z = GetObjectPosition(Object2);
else
print("Object2 ",Object2," doesn't exist");
return -1;
end;
if Obj1_z == Obj2_z then
SQRT = sqrt((Obj1_x - Obj2_x)*(Obj1_x - Obj2_x) + (Obj1_y - Obj2_y)*(Obj1_y - Obj2_y));
return SQRT;
else
print("Error. Objects are not at same ground level.");
return -1;
end;
end;

function FollowHeroRealTime(Master, Slave, Radius)
while 1 do
sleep(5);
if IsHeroAlive(Master) == nil or IsHeroAlive(Slave) == nil or Distance(Master,Slave) == -1 then
print("hero alive master = ",IsHeroAlive(Master) );
print("hero alive slave = ",IsHeroAlive(Slave) );
print("Distance value = ", Distance(Master,Slave) );
print("One of heroes is dead. Thread FollowHeroRealTime terminated...");
return
end;
while Distance(Master,Slave) >= Radius and MustFollow == 1 and Distance(Master,Slave) ~=-1 do
MovePrice = CalcHeroMoveCost(Slave,GetObjectPosition(Master));
ChangeHeroStat(Slave,STAT_MOVE_POINTS,-2500);
ChangeHeroStat(Slave,STAT_MOVE_POINTS,MovePrice-300);
MoveHeroRealTime(Slave,GetObjectPosition(Master));
sleep(5);
end;
end;
end;

startThread(FollowHeroRealTime, OUR_HERO_FREYDA, OUR_HERO_LASZLO, FOLLOWING_RADIUS);

A very complex question. How can I remove a two-tile rock with a scripted name "Rock" from the map using a script? RemoveObject cheerfully throws an error...

You need to set "IsRemovable" to True in the rock's settings in the settings tree.

If you remember, there was a script on my map in the mine where the rock was removed from the way.
