Dear forum members, does anyone know how to specify the required number of creatures in the stacks when creating duel heroes in the map editor, exceeding the number allowed by the duel preset editor?

Hey everyone, could you please tell me if it's possible to build an Ashan tear in random towns using the map editor?

That's how it is.

When creating a video, how do I place objects that are not available in the Objects panel on the right? In a regular map, I place an object and then replace it with the desired one in the Shared field. This doesn't work with videos; the model stubbornly refuses to be replaced. Specifically, I want to place a Dismounted hero, which is located in the AdvMapHeroShared folder within the DialogScenes folder.

It seems like the replacement doesn't happen immediately, but after reloading the video (i.e., double-clicking it in the resource list).

Thank you. Another question – is there a way to play a video from a specific point, so I don't have to rewatch it 20 times while editing the last scenes?

Hello everyone. This question has probably been asked before. But I'll ask it anyway. How do you create videos for a map? P.S. Another question. What is the name of the Vampire Prince creature model? I can't find it.

The answer is in this thread; you need an extended map editor.

Good evening. Could you please tell me how to set the desired range or the desired number of neutral creatures? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I click on the unit, select "Custom," set it to 10, then set "Range" to 19. When I check in the game, sometimes it shows a range of 20-49, or even 50-99. Is there a way to fix the numbers I set?

The number of neutral creatures seems to be modified based on the difficulty level. So, you need to adjust your strategy accordingly...

Hello everyone! I haven't played Heroes 5 in a while and decided to jump back in. I noticed that the shadows on the objects have changed. It's as if the quality of the shadow rendering has decreased, and their sharpness has increased when rotating the camera. The same thing happens in the map editor :( . It might not be noticeable in the screenshots, but in the map editor and in the game, this shadow rendering isn't very good. I didn't have this problem on Windows 7. It appeared on Windows 10. How can I fix this?:o
And is it possible to disable shadows somehow?

As mentioned above, the difficulty level affects this setting. If you need an exact number, check the box for "increment" in the quantity settings and set it to 1. Then, enter the script name, for example, "npc01".

Then, use the script to add the desired number:
mobValue = MathRandom(9, 18);
AddObjectCreatures("npc01", ID, mobValue, 0);

Hello! I have a problem.
I haven't used the editor for about 3 months and didn't think anything would go wrong. Two weeks ago, I logged in and found a problem: the objects are not displayed in the list. Before, they were replaced with a question mark, but now they are completely missing! :confused:
Do you know what the problem is?

Hello! I have a problem.

What's the matter?

I think it will be easier to reinstall the game than to look for a solution.

How can I track the progress of completing the task to destroy 3 enemy units, which are scattered across the map? The player finds the first unit, and the task description is updated: 1/3 units destroyed, etc. How do I display this in the task? At the same time, these units will be located in different places, and not one after another.
