Could you rephrase the task? I didn't understand when it should happen.

Could you rephrase the task? I didn't understand when it should happen.

So, the second week arrives, and on its first day (Monday), something happens, for example, a MsgBox displays "Long live the happy week!". This week passes, then another one, and the fourth week begins, and again the same MsgBox displays "Long live the happy week!".

I think you'll understand everything if I tell you this: your weeks, considering every other one, form a cyclic group of order 2, isomorphic to the group of residues modulo two. In general, if the remainder when dividing the week number by two is two, and the day of the week is Monday, then...

In short, if the remainder when dividing the week number by two is two, and the day of the week is Monday, then....

Thank you! Actually, I figured it out myself... I just sat down and calculated how many weeks there are in a month (4), and then wrote this code:

if (( GetDate(WEEK) == 2 ) or ( GetDate(WEEK) == 4 )) and ( GetDate(DAY_OF_WEEK) == 1 ) then

And now everything works as it should.

Hello everyone! Can anyone help me understand how Talkboxes work? I really want to create a small dialogue in the game. Thanks in advance!

BlueHeavenHero, please refer to the relevant question in the FAQ section in my signature.

Thank you, I finally managed to figure it out.

I'll never get along with TalkBoxes. I wrote this script, but when I click the OK answer (see the line elseif (ansver == 2) then in the FirstTalkBoxCallback function), nothing happens, the RobberJoin function doesn't work, and the console complains that "Value was NIL when getting global with name "RobberJoin"". I've checked all the paths to the text files and icon textures five times, and they are correct. How can I fix this?

function FirstTalkBox()
TalkBoxForPlayers(PLAYER_1, "/Textures/Interface/CombatArena/Faces/Heaven/ico_Marksman_128.xdb#xpointer(/Texture)", nil, "/Text/TalkBox.txt", nil, "FirstTalkBoxCallback", 0, "/Text/Robber.txt", nil, 0, "/Text/Ans1.txt", "/Text/Ans2.txt", "/Text/Ans3.txt")
Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER,"rodder", nil)
end;

Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER,"rodder", "FirstTalkBox")

function FirstTalkBoxCallback(player, answer)
if (answer == 1) then
    MessageBox("/Text/Rimours.txt")
    SetObjectiveState("prim3",OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE,1)
elseif (answer == 2) then
        QuestionBox("/Text/RobberJoin.txt", "RobberJoin", "SecondTalkBox")
elseif (answer == 3) then
        MessageBox("/Text/RobberAttack.txt")
        StartCombat("Hafad", nil, 3, 3, 9+1*diff, 5, 5+1*diff, 2, 13+1*diff, nil, nil, nil, nil)
        end;
end;

function SecondTalkBox()
TalkBoxForPlayers(PLAYER_1, "/Textures/Interface/CombatArena/Faces/Heaven/ico_Marksman_128.xdb#xpointer(/Texture)", nil, "/Text/TalkBox.txt", nil, "SecondTalkBoxCallback", 0, "/Text/Robber.txt", nil, 0, "/Text/Ans4.txt", "/Text/Ans5.txt")
end;

function SecondTalkBoxCallback(player, answer)
if (answer == 1) then
    MessageBox("/Text/Rimours.txt")
    sleep(1)
    SetObjectiveState("prim3",OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE,1)
elseif (answer == 2) then
        MessageBox("/Text/Objectives/CaptureCastle.txt")
        sleep(1)
        OpenCircleFog(126, 139, 0, 4, 1)
        MoveCamera(126, 139, 0, 3, 0, 0, 1, 1)
        sleep(1)
        MessageBox("/Text/Rimours.txt")
        SetObjectiveState("prim3",OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE,1)
end;

function RobberJoin()
AddHeroCreatures("Hafad", 1, 13)
AddHeroCreatures("Hafad", 3, 9)
AddHeroCreatures("Hafad", 5, 5)
sleep(1)
TalkBoxForPlayers(PLAYER_1, "/Textures/Interface/CombatArena/Faces/Heaven/ico_Marksman_128.xdb#xpointer(/Texture)", nil, "/Text/TalkBox.txt", nil, "SecondTalkBoxCallback", 0, "/Text/Robber.txt", nil, 0, "/Text/Ans4.txt", "/Text/Ans5.txt")
end;
end;

The `end` statements are incorrectly placed. There are two `end` statements under the `RobberJoin` function (there should be only one), and one `end` statement under the second toolbox callback (there should be two). Because of this, the function became local, so it is not visible from other functions, and attempting to call it after the toolbox results in an error.

Thank you for your help. I spent a long time trying to figure out why the script wasn't working (the script editor didn't report any errors, and I couldn't understand what the console was complaining about).

Value was nil when getting global with name "XXX" — the variable does not exist in the current scope. This means that it was either local to a block, or there is an error in the name, or it is being accessed before it is declared. For example:
print(a)
a = 123:
>>>Value was nil when ...
>>>nil

Also, using consistent indentation for all internal code blocks and getting into the habit of writing `function() + end` first, and then filling in the code inside, almost completely eliminates these problems.

Hello everyone! I created a custom spell based on the unused Custom Adventure Spell 3. I set the icon and changed the type to Dark... But how do I make it so that when the spell is clicked in the spellbook on the battlefield, Death Harbingers are summoned?

As far as I know, it is impossible to create a custom spell to summon creatures during a battle. Such a summoning will only work on the adventure map.

That’s a pity… Then I’ll have to settle for a custom hero specialization.

Hello everyone! I recently started testing a scenario, and during the tests, I found a problem: the script that restores the destroyed bridge works, but the ending disappointed me. The bridge is built, but for some reason, it is impossible to cross it! Thank you in advance for your help.
