Okay, I didn't know where to post this, so I'll post it here: Is it possible to make a hero gain levels after level 40? I know it's probably a silly idea, and I'll have to manually adjust the amount of experience gained, but still.

I was thinking... I'll place the objects and then just move them around. It will be easier, IMHO.

In Resources\pointLights\, you just need to set the light points, like in the object properties, and give them a name, and then call the function SetObjectFlashlight("object name", "light point name")
to disable it, the second parameter should be ""

For now, there is no way to influence this.

Not good, I'd say. It seems like the amount of experience needed has increased; it was 1..., and now it's 2... (million/billion, I'm not sure). In that case, we'll just have to reduce the amount of experience on the map. Thanks.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind.

Is it possible to use the same name for an object ('druid1') and a variable (druid1 = 0) in a script? I did this with a druid, and now the console says "object 'druid1' does not exist or is not interactive." Is this the problem, or should I check the script?

Is it possible to determine if a tile is occupied?

Yes, you can. :) The error is most likely in the SetObjectEnabled function or a Trigger.

IsTilePassable(x, y, floor) returns:
1 - if not occupied
nil - if occupied

It considers water impassable by default.

Hmm, thank you.

here are a couple more questions:

1) Where is the error? The script doesn't work at all, it doesn't even try.



---transformation (trans)---

trans = 0

function trans()
while 1 do
sleep(1)
if GetObjectOwner ('elftown') == 1 and trans == 0 then
sleep(1)
ShowFlyingSign(GetMapDataPath().."trans1.txt", "Berein", -1, 7);
sleep(5)
TransformTown ('elftown' , 4)
ReplaceDwelling ('elfdwel1' , 4)
ReplaceDwelling ('elfdwel2' , 4)
ReplaceDwelling ('elfdwel3' , 4)
ReplaceDwelling ('elfdwel4' , 4)
trans = 1
end
end
end
startThread (trans)

(Everything is named correctly, as in the editor)

2) Can I immediately destroy the tavern in the town right after the transformation? (I remember asking a similar question, but I didn't quite manage it, or I was just lazy)

In the StartTread line, there is a syntax error. The function is written with a lowercase letter

That's not the point. I have everything written like that.)))

I'll check it now, but I'm already used to writing it this way; it doesn't seem to depend on whether it's uppercase or lowercase...

I mean, the StartTread itself is written with a lowercase letter. I think it shouldn't be like that.

Well, that’s what I’m saying, it’s always written that way for me, and it works. I don’t think the script checks for that.

Now I’ll try writing it with a capital letter, but this 93.734% won’t help, unfortunately.

No, I wrote it with a capital letter, and now the script is complaining about the function altogether.

I don't quite understand this function, unfortunately. As I understand it, the condition in the trans function's loop is false from the very beginning of the game (if elftown doesn't belong to player 1). Doesn't this cause StartThread to stop working?

although, no, I probably said something nonsensical.

startThread simply launches a function. It's like a trigger, but it doesn't depend on anything. Moreover, if you put a while loop, the function will be checked endlessly immediately after launch. I think the problem might be with sleep, as the script might simply not have enough time to execute))

Added 1 minute ago
Although, actually, no, that's not the problem. There are plenty of sleeps there... There's also a pop-up message...

Damn, I changed the variable name, and it all started working. What a load of nonsense...

There's still a second question...

Added 22 minutes ago
I'm completely confused..


SetTownBuildingLimitLevel('elftown', TB_TAVERN, 0)
SetObjectDwellingCreatures('elftown' , 2, 100)

In the first case, it doesn't understand the building type, and I can't find another one. It also doesn't work with quotes.
In the second case, it doesn't want to add creatures for recruitment. Although all the creature dwellings are built.
It's terrible
