How can I use a script to check the number of creatures that died in a battle with a specific hero and output the result to a variable?
There is a whole series of functions designed for this. An example of their use can be found in the campaign script for "Escape to Salvation," mission "Deeds and Paths of Darkness."

and another question: Is it possible to change the progress of a quest without using a large number of progress texts?
For example, I want to create a 15-turn quest. But it would be enough if its progress simply shows a number, changing from 0 to 15 accordingly. Do I really need to create 15 separate txt files inside the progress folder, named after each number? Can I get by with one progress file with a <changing variable>?
So, if I understand you correctly, you were asking about a flying sign, and there you can assign a variable directly within the function call, as the respected RedHeavenHero showed. But I need something similar, but when writing a quest. And quests can only be created directly in the editor, without the help of a script. So, even if I write in the quest:
"Notes collected" < value=zapiski > , it won't help, because I'm not calling this record through a flying sign, but through SetObjectiveProgress... And there's nowhere to insert the magic line {zapiski=zapiski}. I know I'm writing confusingly, but what can I do =).
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to determine via scripts whether the game is running in Multiplayer or Singleplayer mode?
function IsMultiplayer() local p=0 for i=1,8 do if IsAIPlayer(i) == 0 then p=p+1 end if p > 1 then return 1 end end for i,hero in GetObjectNamesByType('HERO') do if IsAIPlayer(GetObjectOwner(GetHeroTown(hero) or hero)) == 1 then SetHeroCombatScript(hero, '/mult.xdb#xpointer(/Script)') sleep() local ind = GetLastSavedCombatIndex() StartCombat(hero,nil,1,1,1) repeat sleep() until ind ~= GetLastSavedCombatIndex() ResetHeroCombatScript(hero) if GetGameVar('single') ~= '1' then return 1 end break end end return nil end
/mult.xdb contains a link to the file /mult.lua. Both are located in the root directory, without any intermediate folders. The content of /mult.lua:
SetGameVar('single', '1')

okay, thanks, I'll take a look.

Most likely not. In any case, I am not aware of such a possibility.
Recently, I implemented an increase in the heroes' vision range using scripts (it didn't work through DefaultStats and types). This was done through the OpenCircleFog script, attached to a trigger emulator that activates when heroes move.
And now, a question:
Is it possible to hide part of the map from the player using scripts?
And a second question:
Is it possible to build a city twice in one turn? In other words, is it possible to unlock a city?
And a third question:
Is it possible to detect when a hero interacts with a caravan?

Is it possible to use scripts to block off a part of the map from the player?
I was interested in this myself, but it seems like it's not possible.
Is it possible to build twice in a city in one turn? I.e., is there a way to unlock a city?
You can forcibly build a building in a city. Regarding unlocking: I haven't seen a special function for this, but who knows, maybe locking it using IsObjectEnabled and then unlocking it with the same function will reset some settings and allow you to build the building a second time? I think it's worth trying.
Is it possible to track when a hero interacts with a caravan?
Redhaven is our expert in getting the names of objects of a given type. If you create a caravan using scripts, you can choose a name for it, and then it will be no problem at all.
Most likely not. At least, I'm not aware of such a possibility.
Damn, that's a shame. Is it really impossible to influence the quest using scripts? Maybe at least its description or title? I saw somewhere that it's possible to change the hero's description, although, with my knowledge of English, I might have translated it incorrectly.
I actually thought it wouldn't be that difficult... Too bad. Okay, I'll go do 100 progress quests. =)
A player, perhaps, can do that. In any case, it seemed to me that I saw something like that on one of the developer maps. Quests like "collect 100 peasants" definitely work that way.
by the way, how do you prevent multiple fly signs from overlapping each other?
Added 6 minutes later [/U]regarding the developers - I'll take a look now. Yesterday, on RedHeavenHero's advice, I found a great script there to determine the number of killed creatures. Most likely, this function still affects the quest, because there were several variables, such as assasins_dead, which then didn't appear anywhere else. I suspect that they "appeared" not in the script, but in the quest progress description. In any case, thank you for the advice.
Added 33 minutes later no, I didn't find any progress update anywhere. Even in the quest for 1000 heads =)
ChangeHeroStat doesn't set a stat, it modifies it.
ChangeHeroStat('Berein', 8, -GetHeroStat('Berein', 8)) -- all
ChangeHeroStat('Berein', 8, -10) -- ten
aaa... damn, I messed up. Thanks. By the way, I've made some changes to the campaign function that recalculates the number of defeated enemies. But now it works strangely. Can you tell me what's wrong?
function combat_results( c ) local we = -1 if GetSavedCombatArmyPlayer(c,1) == PLAYER_1 then we = 1
if we == 1 then if GetSavedCombatArmyHero(c,we) == 'Berein' then local stackscount = GetSavedCombatArmyCreaturesCount(c,0); creature,creaturescount,died = GetSavedCombatArmyCreatureInfo(c,0,i); AddHeroCreatures('Berein' , 29 , died) end; end;
end if GetSavedCombatArmyPlayer(c,0) == PLAYER_1 then we = 0 end; combat_result_last = c; end;
