Ooooooh, object-oriented Lua?!
Regarding tables, I only used them once, I think, but it was a trivial case, and I didn't invent anything particularly clever to simplify things.
the023, please tell me what this RPGEngine is and what you use it for; it's very, very interesting. This library, right?

No, it's a custom-made engine.

Currently, Vadim TGAME and I are developing a new global mode called "Battle of Giants": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu5cMUoJDXA

We should release it by the end of spring. Unfortunately, I can't provide any details, but the mode will live up to its name: it will be gigantic.

Hello, dear mapmakers. I have a script that isn't working:

function final()
TransformTown(sTownName, 0);
end;

function final1()
end;

function kvest()
QuestionBox("/Maps/SingleMissions/ludi.nachalo/kvest2.txt", "final", "final1");
end;

Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "kvest2", "kvest");

Perhaps I wrote something incorrectly and/or placed the file in the wrong location. Here is my path:

\Editor\H5MMods\ludi.nachalo\Maps\SingleMissions\ludi.nachalo

Can you advise me or point out where my mistake is?

Darina, having more than two accounts is prohibited on the forum. Please write to Ment or Creator so they can merge your accounts.

Also, what is sTownname? What kind of variable is that?! Or did you just copy it from somewhere? Furthermore, what is the purpose of the empty final function? It's not an error, but it's unclear.

Comrade Darina, it is forbidden to have more than two accounts on the forum. Write to Ment or Creator so they can merge your accounts.

Okay, I've already written to them.

Next, what is sTownname? What kind of variable is that?! Or did you just copy it from somewhere?

From one of the RDF files, from your group on VK. As I understand it, sTownname is the town that they want to transform into something else. sTownname - that's just the name I gave the town.

Next, why is there an empty function called final? It's not an error, but it's unclear.

I need it so that nothing happens when "Cancel" is pressed, that's why it's empty.

And the problem is that the box itself doesn't even appear. The hero stops in the town - and that's it, nothing else happens.

If you need nothing to happen, leave it as nil.
Check the console for errors.

Yes, there was an error, "Empty message text." But I don't understand where I need to put the message text; I thought I put it in the right place, but the error still appears. Can you tell me where to put the messages correctly?

Just check if the file path is correct. This error doesn't appear when the file is empty, but when the game can't find the specified .txt file at the given path.

I looked at how messages are displayed in other scenarios, but I still couldn't get it to work. I also tried about 10 different paths, but none of them worked. Can you suggest where my mistake is?
I'm attaching screenshots:

Do you create the text file using a script editor or by creating a new text document in the map folder? If it's the latter, the problem is likely due to the file encoding. Create it using a script editor to ensure the correct encoding. Also, to avoid repeatedly specifying file paths and getting confused, you can use this structure:

path = GetMapDataPath()

function kvest()
QuestionBox(path.."kvest2.txt", "final", "final1");
end;

and so on.

Create it using the script editor; this will guarantee the correct encoding. Also, to avoid having to specify file paths each time and to prevent confusion, you can use the following structure:
path = GetMapDataPath()

function kvest()
QuestionBox(path.."kvest2.txt", "final", "final1");
end;
and so on.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! It all worked!)

Hello, dear mapmakers. The script below is not working again: ``` SetRegionBlocked("prohod", true, 1); function Otkrit() SetRegionBlocked("prohod", false, 1); end; Trigger(REGION_ENTER_WITHOUT_STOP_TRIGGER, "lik", "Otkrit"); ``` And this error message appears, as shown in the picture. Can you tell me what is wrong with the code?

This is a warning, not an error. It indicates that the name "false" is not supported in that context, and the interpreter automatically replaced it with "nil". This happens frequently in scripts, even though the manual states that "false" should be used in such functions.

So, what should I do? If I write 'nil', the same error appears. Does anyone know how to make the warning disappear?
