Posts from Scripts

Hmm, that's strange. If you write such code, there is no error. I'll try playing around with the console again and post the entire function. I probably focused on the wrong thing...

yes, I understand, the error was most likely because I deleted the object and then tried to attach a touch trigger to it.

And here's another question: how to give a hero specific skills?
First, I spent an hour trying to find Fire Wars (Summoning magic for elementals). I think I found it in the demon perk, but I'm not sure. Now I don't know how to set it up correctly. I write like this:

if HasHeroSkill ('Berein' , 12) == nil then
GiveHeroSkill ('Berein' , 12)
GiveHeroSkill ('Berein' , 12)
GiveHeroSkill ('Berein' , 53)
GiveHeroSkill ('Berein' , 97)
end

It only gives advanced summoning magic...What should I do?

Thank you, it helped.

Well, and (I really hope) this is my last question for today:

Dear RedHeavenHero, here is a slightly modified version of your function for transforming human dwellings.
Basically, I would like all this to start working when a small and modest variable, let's call it 'dwel' in the script, is equal to a proud and rebellious one (dwel = 1). However, due to my poor understanding and complete lack of knowledge of these script functions, I cannot seem to manage and control the rebellious loop with 'for' and so on. I am attaching the code of the current function and hope for a quick solution. =)

function starthut()
if dwel == 1 then
for i,hut in GetObjectNamesByType('PEASANT_HUT') do
SetObjectEnabled(hut, nil)
Trigger(4, hut, 'replace_hut')
end
end
end
startThread(starthut)

function replace_hut(hero, hut)
if hero == 'Berein' and dwel == 1 then
Trigger(4, hut, nil)
SetObjectEnabled(hut, 1)
ReplaceDwelling(hut, 4)
sleep (1)
MakeHeroInteractWithObject (hero , hut)
end
end

----------------------------------------

function starthut2()
if dwel == 1 then
for i,hut2 in GetObjectNamesByType('ARCHERS_HOUSE') do
SetObjectEnabled(hut2, nil)
Trigger(4, hut2, 'replace_hut2')
end
end
end
startThread(starthut2)

function replace_hut2(hero, hut2)
if hero == 'Berein' and dwel == 1 then
Trigger(4, hut2, nil)
SetObjectEnabled(hut2, 1)
ReplaceDwelling(hut2, 4)
sleep (1)
MakeHeroInteractWithObject (hero , hut2)
end
end

----------------------------------------

function starthut3()
if dwel == 1 then
for i,hut3 in GetObjectNamesByType('BARRACKS') do
SetObjectEnabled(hut3, nil)
Trigger(4, hut3, 'replace_hut3')
end
end
end
startThread(starthut3)

function replace_hut3( hero , hut3)
if hero == 'Berein' and dwel == 1 then
Trigger(4, hut3, nil)
SetObjectEnabled(hut3, 1)
ReplaceDwelling(hut3, 4)
sleep (1)
MakeHeroInteractWithObject (hero , hut3)
end
end
--------------------------------------

function starthut4()
if dwel == 1 then
for i,hut4 in GetObjectNamesByType('HEAVEN_MILITARY_POST') do
SetObjectEnabled(hut4, nil)
Trigger(4, hut4, 'replace_hut4')
end
end
end
startThread(starthut4)

function replace_hut4(hero, hut4)
if hero == 'Berein' and dwel == 1 then
Trigger(4, hut4, nil)
SetObjectEnabled(hut4, 1)
ReplaceDwelling(hut4, 4)
sleep (1)
MakeHeroInteractWithObject (hero , hut4)
end
end 

Am I right in understanding that Lua in Heroes 5 is limited to a certain set of functions defined by the game developers and does not support built-in functions such as setmetatable, package, and module? That is, at best, you can create static classes without supporting the creation of types (object instances of a class)? And simulate modules using the doFile function?

RedHeavenHero - that's exactly the problem, that they "won't let you in before." There are several huts on the map with their own names; I would like the function to start giving names, triggering, and transforming only when I have completed all the tasks in the huts - i.e., when dwell = 1.

by the way, (I always start with this question, yes), what is the fundamental difference between single-player and multiplayer, specifically in terms of scripting? I don't want to know minor details, but something more large-scale and frequently found in single-player that definitely won't work in multiplayer.

What is the fundamental difference between the single-player and multiplayer modes, specifically regarding the scripting? I don't need to know minor details, but something more significant and frequently encountered in the single-player mode that definitely won't work in multiplayer.

startThread(start_dwellings) is that enough?

thank you
