1. Simply immobilize the computer's heroes in the Castle using the EnableHeroAI function and prevent them from hiring other heroes using the EnableAIHeroHiring function. Attach a trigger to touching the Castle, and within the function called by this trigger, include EnableHeroAI(nHeroName, true); and then disable the trigger. This workaround is necessary because I am not sure if an inactive computer hero can participate in defending against a Castle siege. Whether or not the computer will use spells depends on Elrath, not scripts. But you can download the mega AI mod.
Regardless, the hero fights (without the above), and also uses spells. You can read about and download the mega AI mod here (/topic/7746/).
Added after 4 minutes {0TT@6bI4
function NewDayCheck() ... end;
Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER, "NewDayCheck");
Do I need to fill out the body of the function at all? And another question: Is Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER) used only once in the script's body? I already have this trigger created, and I simply copied the line SetPlayerResource(1,6,0); into it.

4. I haven't seen a function that returns the race of a Castle. For now, I don't have any ideas.
What if we use workarounds? 1) We change the Castle settings in properties town -> the preferred city is specified as the nearest player's city. The Castle has no garrison. 2) Using a script, the Castle is captured by Player 3 and they sit there doing nothing; how can this be implemented?
7. In the map, go to Map Properties Tree => Players => + => Player ID => The StartBonus string is responsible for the bonus. Set CanChangeBonus to false so that it cannot be changed. Next, set CanBeHumanPlayer to false. Then go to Map Properties => Players Properties => Select the player, in MainHero select the main hero, and set TOWN_TYPE to the desired race. Done. Save the file.
I understand the idea... but then the town and hero will be messed up. Maybe it's possible to block the entire string? (It's easy to accidentally turn off a bot at the start... I've attached a screenshot).
It is possible to convert towns using scripts. So, I can suggest a workaround where the factions are not initially selected, but are asked for at the beginning using a message.
No, if there's no need to, i.e., if there's nothing else in the daily function.
That's correct, there can only be one NEW_DAY_TRIGGER in the script, so just copy this line into your existing function.
Added 2 minutes later At the right moment SetObjectOwner(nTownname, 3); And then do everything as described above to immobilize the AI.

In Multiplayer, turning off the AI seems to be an unkillable option. I don't understand what "entire line" you want to block?

If only in two words, the implementation itself. Simply, the map is usually not launched with specific factions, but with random ones. And displaying all this at the beginning of the game is not very appealing, at least not right now.
That's exactly what I meant – it can't be disabled, and you can always turn off computers "with the press of a single key."
I understand... I was just surprised that you can't change anything at all when you download a scenario, and that's why I assumed that everything could be locked in multiplayer.
If I had to summarize the implementation in just a few words. The map usually starts with random factions, not specific ones. Displaying all of this at the beginning of the game isn't very appealing, at least not right now.
Name all the cities using script names (in objectProperties). Next, use TalkBoxForPlayers. It only allows for 5 options, meaning options 1-4 are cities, and option 5 is a transition to another group of options. When transitioning, also display TalkBoxForPlayers, but for the remaining castles. Depending on the choice, call TransformTown for the cities with the corresponding names.
Select castles either manually or using a random generator separately.
Yes, it doesn't sound great and is a bit more complicated than I'd like...
Well, the scenario is designed in such a way that players don't make any decisions themselves. Therefore, it's impossible to disable anything in it. And multiplayer differs in that the user decides who plays and which factions they choose.
You're talking about SetObjectOwner? Well, assigning ownership of an object (in this case, a Castle) to player 3 is equivalent to capturing it. Did you want the Castle to automatically be captured by player 3 after something happens? Or did you want the computer to simply start capturing this Castle? Or perhaps initiate a scripted siege of the Castle?
Added 1 minute ago Ment, we're both answering the same user's question, sometimes I answer first, sometimes you do. This can be a bit confusing for the user. I can leave the conversation, but I hope you can answer all the questions?

Now I understand what you mean. It's just that if we're going to implement this workaround, how would it look in more detail? 1) Two heroes belonging to player 3 are initially located near the Castles and run towards them. (How would we implement this?) 2) How do we get them into the city so that they are actually inside the city? And then we can do everything you mentioned earlier.
And another important question is, how can we test scripts directly in the game (currently on a Multiplayer map)? Right now, I have to launch the script editor, then the game itself, wait for everything to load, close the game, and edit. I saw a method of creating an additional .lua file in the game folder ("Heroes"/data/test/lua) and initializing it in the game @test.lua (I don't remember exactly how), but I couldn't get it to work. Please advise.
