Posts from Scripts

Technically, it is possible to make a small creature appear large. However, the model will remain the same; it will simply occupy a 2x2 grid. But this is not done directly in the editor; it requires modifying the game's internal files.

You're welcome :)

Here's another question: how can I prevent the AI from buying an army in a Castle and recruiting creatures from dwellings? So that it just stays in the Castle?

Well, you can simply disable the AI for a hero by using the following command:

EnableHeroAI("heroname", nil)

, where heroname is the script name of the hero.

I tried adding a hero to a town and then disabling him using EnableHeroAI("heroname", nil), but the computer continues to buy an army in the town and purchase units from dwellings.

Did you enter the hero's name correctly?

Yes, I checked it several times. I partially managed to achieve what I wanted. Using the SetRegionBlocked command, the computer can no longer buy creatures from dwellings, but it continues to manage the town, specifically: buying creatures, building structures, etc. I've seen this done in many maps, but I can't remember which ones.

Well, you can limit the city itself so that it doesn't have buildings that provide creature generation. This is done directly in the editor.

Could you please tell me how to insert a counter into the quest window?

As I understand it, the counter represents the stages of completing tasks, right? For example, killing monsters, in which case ProgressCommentsFileRef would be needed. ProgressCommentsFileRef – if the task consists of several stages
(for example, kill 3 groups of monsters).
This screenshot shows where the stages of the task are set (it can be done in the form of a counter)

The command that can be used to update the stages of the task is SetObjectiveProgress(‘SCRIPT_NAME_OF_THE_TASK’, progress);
progress is the sequential number in ProgressCommentsFileRef.

I took part of the answer from Jack_of_shadows' message, and added the rest myself).
I hope I understood the question correctly.

The counters are implemented through stages and tasks. Only in this case will the stages be like:
"0 out of 9 dragons found", "1 out of 9 dragons found" ... "9 out of 9 dragons found"

You create a variable that tracks the number of dragons found. You set the stages relative to it. That is, when 1 dragon is found, the stage "1 out of 9 found" is displayed; when 2 dragons are found, "2 out of 9" is displayed, and so on.

You create a variable that tracks the number of dragons found. You set the stages relative to it. That is, 1 dragon found - the stage "1 out of 9 found" is set, 2 dragons found - "2 out of 9", and so on.
