What function is used to change the name and description of an object? Also, could you please tell me how to fix the error: "Value was NIL when getting global with name 'ChangeResource'?" ``` function give_sulfur() ChangeResource(4, 5, 'Biara') Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER, 'kotel', nil); end

Which function is used to change the name and description of an object?
Also, can you tell me how to fix the error: Value was NIL when getting global with name 'ChangeResource'?

function give_sulfur()
 ChangeResource(4, 5, 'Biara')
 Trigger(OBJECT_TOUCH_TRIGGER, 'kotel', nil);
 end

1) OverrideObjectTooltipNameAndDescription(object, path_to_name_text, path_to_description_text)
2) There is no such function as ChangeResource; check the manual for functions that modify resources.

1) OverrideObjectTooltipNameAndDescription(object, path_to_name_text, path_to_description_text)
2) There is no such function as ChangeResource; refer to the manual to see which functions change resources.

1) Thank you!
2) Interestingly, the function "ChangeResource" is described in the file with function descriptions, which I downloaded from heroesworld.

Good day! Let's say I have a hero, let's call him Vinrael, and I want to initiate a battle for him against, for example, 200 Latniks and 150 Gargoyles. Is it possible to do this in single-player mode using the console?

Please help! I wrote the following script:

while GetObjectiveState('meet_demons', PLAYER_1) == OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE do
     sleep(5)
    end
    SetObjectiveState('hero_from_hell', OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE, PLAYER_1);
    MessageBox(GetMapDataPath()..'5.txt');

    while 1 do
	    if GetObjectiveState('kill_daeva', PLAYER_1)== OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED 
		and
		 GetObjectiveState('capture_mines', PLAYER_1) == OBJECTIVE_COMLETED 
		then 
    sleep(5)
		     SetObjectiveState('hero_from_hell',OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED, PLAYER_1)
		     SetObjectiveState('go_throw_dungeon',OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE, PLAYER_1)
     end
       end

After completing the "meet_demons" quest and closing the "5" message, the game freezes. What did I do wrong?

WizardNazyr, your code after the message can be described as: `

an infinite loop
{
  condition check.
}

`. You need to add a sleep function to the loop. Also, it would be better if it runs in a separate thread (it is not clear from the code whether it is wrapped in a thread or not).

Okay, now I think I messed something up completely. The game freezes after I close the "2" message.

MessageBox(GetMapDataPath()..'1.txt');
MessageBox(GetMapDataPath()..'2.txt');
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, 'Svetlana_Vyacheslav1', 'talk1');
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, 'demons', 'talk2');
function talk1 ()
MessageBox(GetMapDataPath()..'3.txt')
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, 'Svetlana_Vyacheslav1', nil);
end
function talk2 ()
MessageBox(GetMapDataPath()..'4.txt');
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, 'demons', nil);
end
function task1()
   while GetObjectiveState('meet_demons', PLAYER_1) == OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE do
     sleep(5)
    end
    SetObjectiveState('hero_from_hell', OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE, PLAYER_1);
    MessageBox(GetMapDataPath()..'5.txt');
end;
function task2()
    while 1 do
	    if GetObjectiveState('kill_daeva', PLAYER_1)== OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED
		and
		 GetObjectiveState('capture_mines', PLAYER_1) == OBJECTIVE_COMLETED
		then
    sleep(5)
		     SetObjectiveState('hero_from_hell',OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED, PLAYER_1)
		     SetObjectiveState('go_throw_dungeon',OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE, PLAYER_1)
     end
       end
end;
startThread(task1);
startThread(task2) ;

Added 14 minutes ago And yes, I didn't quite understand where exactly I need to put the `sleep` and what value should be in the parentheses. :smile35:

WizardNazyr, the reason for the freeze is the same. You already have the task1 function, which performs a similar function and works correctly. Just rewrite task2 in a similar way to task1. In task2, firstly, the loop will never end (while 1 do), and secondly, you need to add an else statement to the if condition, which will be executed until the condition is met, and include a sleep function in it.

Jack_of_shadows, thank you very much! I fixed the loop in task2. I added an `else` statement and `sleep`. Now it works!

Hello, I have a question: If I "dismiss" a hero who is stationed in a castle, will he continue to recruit units for his army? And will other heroes be able to purchase units in that city?

It will be.

They will be able to.

It will be. They will be able to.

Thank you.

Who knows why this script stopped working (it used to work, but maybe I accidentally changed something)? The idea is that on the seventh day of the week, the hero Markel2's army will be joined by ghosts (of a suitable type) equal in number to his level. Another condition is the presence of ghosts in the hero's army.

AstralLein, I can only say that it's better to check if a hero exists before performing any operation with him. Otherwise, it looks normal. You should check the debug messages; there might have been an error in the script earlier, and the interpreter simply didn't reach line 158 and didn't trigger the new day.

There are no errors. That's the problem. There's also another script for the new day. I can show it too. The hero exists; Marckel is the player's main hero.

By the way, how do you scroll up and down in the console?
