The simplest (and the only sensible) thing that comes to mind is to make your map replace all the campaigns of the original Heroes, and your videos replace the corresponding videos about the wedding and the one that plays at the end of the game.
Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately, that's not an option. Firstly, it would only allow for one video to be displayed, and secondly, I don't want to replace anything; I want to add something.
Okay, we'll think about it. Maybe we can create some kind of video texture, or something similar. And then set up a cutscene where the video texture plays on a static object – a plane or a wall – and the camera is fixed on that object. But, as far as I know, in Heroes, you can't set a texture as a sequence of frames. In that case, the only option left is to arrange the sequence of frames on a plane as separate objects and set the camera to switch to each frame in the cutscene. That is, for each new frame, the camera in the cutscene would be fixed on a new object with a new frame of the video.
It's clear that this is a somewhat crazy solution, and there might be issues with syncing the audio. But, I think there aren't many other options.
Hello, I have a question: how can I limit the number of heroes a player can control simultaneously, for example, so that they cannot have more than 3 heroes?
I tried this function, but I don't understand how it works: it's not clear where the standard number of heroes comes from; I even set it to 1000, and I could still hire as many heroes as I wanted.

Could someone explain or provide an example of how the SetPlayerHeroesCountNotForHire function works?
Who can help? A friend got me hooked on Heroes 5 3.1, and I decided to create a huge map for 8 players. It's completely hand-drawn, and each race will have its own unique features and secrets. Right now, I'm working on one of the races and I've run into the need for scripts. I need a couple of basic scripts. I'll be able to modify them later. The main thing is to have examples, because I'm trying to figure it out myself, but it's not going very well. As a thank you, I'll post my map here later so that everyone can play it.
Specifically, I'm interested in these scripts:
1. There's a prophet's hut where a quest is given. There's a condition for completing the quest. When the quest is completed, as a reward, obstacles should be removed in a specific location on the map at the specified coordinates, opening a passage. Or, the hero who completed the quest should be teleported to a specific point on the map. Moreover, this won't always be a player; it could also be an AI playing for that race.
2. I need a script that, when visiting the prophet's hut and completing the quest, transforms a specific town captured by the player who visited the prophet into a town of a different type. And in general, is it possible to do such things through the prophet's hut? Thank you in advance.
Check out the FAQs for this section: one and two; they should provide sufficient guidance. Regarding conversion, I'll say right away that it won't be possible to convert a town into another while preserving its buildings. However, with Necropolis, it is definitely possible; I am less certain about the others, but most likely yes. Nevertheless, the task is not entirely trivial.
function gogo() if GetObjectiveState("quest name at the prophet") == OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED then RemoveObject("Name of the object to be deleted") end end Trigger(OBJECTIVE_STATE_TRIGGER, "quest name at the prophet", "gogo")
Some immediate comments: 1) The object to be deleted must be of type Static, and the IsRemovable property must be set to true (check in the objectPropretiesTree). The name is, of course, given there as well – in the name field. 2) If the quest is the same for multiple players and for the same object, we insert a check for IsObjectExists. Then we delete it. 3) Strictly speaking, I haven't tested this trigger for prophet quests. But it most likely works.
function gogo() if GetObjectiveState("quest name at the prophet") == OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED then RemoveObject("Name of the object to be removed") end end Trigger(OBJECTIVE_STATE_TRIGGER, "quest name at the prophet", "gogo")
Some immediate comments: 1) The object to be removed must be of type Static, and the IsRemovable property must be set to true (check in the objectPropretiesTree). The name is also given there – in the name field. 2) If the quest is the same for multiple players and for the same object, add a check for IsObjectExists. Then remove it. 3) Strictly speaking, I haven't tested this trigger for prophet quests. But it will probably work.
function a1() if GetObjectiveState ("q1") == OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED then RemoveObject ("qq1"); end; end;
I did it like this. You had a couple of inaccuracies, but it still doesn't work. I even set a quest to remove monsters, and it still doesn't help. Is it necessary to specify that it's for all players, or is that understood by default?
By the way, it complains about the first line of the script. Specifically, about - function a1(), and it's not about the number of characters in the name; I tried 5 letters, and it still complains. Maybe the function itself is somehow wrong; I don't know. My brain is about to explode.
Could you tell me what exactly it writes? I'm running a bit short on ideas. Just now, I realized that the player number is passed to the a1 function, but ideally, this shouldn't affect anything.
Novik, in his manual, describes how to create hooks; you can use it.
void errorHook( fCallback )
Allows you to set an error handler. By default, when a script error occurs, the current thread terminates. Thanks to this function, you have the opportunity to adjust this behavior – before stopping, control will be passed to the fCallback function.
Example:
function onError()
print("Error occured ")
end
function SetArtefactUntrans(nArtefactName)
errorHook(onError)
RemoveArtefact("Berein",nArtefactName)
GiveArtefact("Berein",nArtefactName,1)
end
If an error occurs in the SetArtefactUntrans function (for example, if the hero does not have the required artifact), the string "Error occured " will be displayed in the console. Note that this very informative string will not save you from the thread stopping (nor from displaying diagnostics in the console). The hook will work in all script threads (and not just in the one that called it) until errorHook is called with the parameter nil. I also recommend paying attention to the fact that the hook only works on runtime errors; it does not affect interpretation errors. Regarding the example provided, it is much more reasonable to check the hero for the presence of the required artifact instead of using a hook.
I changed it to your name. It's the same. It specifically says the following about the first line in the built-in script editor. The external script editor doesn't complain.
Is this what the editor displays during map validation? It's irrelevant and doesn't indicate incorrect code. You need to enable the console in the game and check for errors there.
