Posts from Scripts

Returning to the topic of design, I'd like to mention individual preferences. Personally, I think that a beginner should first focus on the developers' designs and then on mapmakers' creations. And by the way, how do you determine where to insert "sleep"?

By the way, how do I know where to insert the "sleep" command?

You already received an answer about this two pages ago If you still don't understand, the best thing to do is to open the map files of the original campaign and take a look at any MapScript.lua or script.lua or mapname_script.lua (there might be something like that in the original Heroes of Might and Magic V).

So, does he have maps there?
"The page is only available to authorized users."
I logged in with a password. It shows his detailed information, and that there are no entries on his wall.
He only posts maps for friends, or am I just slow? – Keep in mind that I've only been on this "VKontakte" for a week, and I don't know what to click on.

Write to him in a private message, ask for screenshots, he will understand.

There is no universal rule for inserting replays.

Hottabych, okay, maybe I'll write something. But I think I found a website for his mod; there are a lot of screenshots there. Cool!

I don't recall Alexei ever making any questionable mods. Perhaps you're confusing him with fkrtifzobr.

Hello. Could you please provide a script for collecting 50 units of sulfur, so that after it is collected, it is taken from the player, and the player is teleported, for example, to a portal? Thank you in advance.

function SulfurCheck() while 1 do sleep(1) if GetPlayerResource(1, SULFUR) >= 50 then SetPlayerResource(1, SULFUR, GetPlayerResource(1, SULFUR)-50) SetObjectPosition("hero name", x,y,fl, effect type) break end end end ```

At the right moment, startThread(SulfurCheck). X, y, fl are coordinates, effect_type is the teleport effect type, from 1 to 4 (see Novik for details) or -1.

Thank you.

Hello everyone. I had an idea: when talking to an NPC, there should be an option to choose "create a random artifact." And here's the question: I'll probably need to create an array with the IDs of these artifacts. But I haven't worked with arrays before and don't know how to implement this.

`random(95)+1` will generate a random artifact ID. Will that work?

arts = { [1] = {mass = 1}, [2] = {mass = 14}, [3] = {mass = 7}, [4] = {mass = 8}, [5] = {mass = 11}, } function GetRandomArt() local sum local n for id, props in arts do sum = sum + props.mass end n = random(sum) + 1 local start, finish, shift = 0, 0, 0 for id, props in arts do finish = start + props.mass if start <= n and n < finish then return id else shift = finish - start start = finish finish = start + shift end end return 0 end ```

Alternatively, you can manually create a table of 95 elements (not necessarily all of them), specifying the mass for each one – the higher the mass, the greater the chance of it appearing.

I figured out the random part myself; it seems to work. But with this method, isn't there a chance of getting Ashera's Tear or Freya's Artifact?

The Tear of Aschi might drop, but Frida won't (she's number 96), and we only go up to 95. But in any case, we can set up a check: if the Tear of Aschi drops, reroll.
Or, use the table method mentioned above.
