Posts from Scripts Auto-translated

Good afternoon, please tell me how I can implement the following idea using a script: There are 2 secondary quests (SO-1), to capture a neutral town and it is initially included in the tasks, and (SO-2), to control the surrounding mines, which is a hidden quest. The goal is to make quest SO-2 visible immediately after capturing the neutral town. I tried to do something similar, but it turned out to be not very good, and is it possible to get a tutorial on this problem?
function detencion()
if GetObjectOwner("Dwarftown")==PLAYER_1 then
SetObjectiveVisible("SO-2", bVisible, "nPlayerID = 1")
Trigger(OBJECT_CAPTURE_TRIGGER,"Dwarftown1", "detencion")
end
end
Trigger(OBJECT_CAPTURE_TRIGGER, "Dwarftown1", nil)

You could use a variable (R) to generate a random number (random(n)+1, where n is the number of message options). You would also need an array called messages with n elements – each element would be the path to a different message. Then, in the message box, instead of the path to the text, you would use a simple construction like messages[R].

Good afternoon. Could you please advise me on how to implement army upkeep costs? I'm not sure how to do it. Could you please tell me, for example, how to make it so that each day the number of peasants in the hero's army is checked, and then one coin is deducted for each peasant. Thank you in advance.

I liked the question because I've long wanted to create a truly strategic map with control zones, army costs, and all that (but doing anything other than scripting is incredibly tedious).

I was working with the GetHeroCreaturesType function. The idea is that it should return a table of creature IDs in the hero's army, but in reality, it writes them into a single number (for example, instead of 138, 72, 73, 0, 0, 0, 0, it writes 138727300). Reassigning the result returned by this function to another variable, of course, didn't give any results, erasing everything up to the first value (138). In this regard, the question is: how can I extract these IDs? Thank you in advance.

you can try something like this:

function pack(...)
  return arg
end

id_table = pack(GetHeroCreaturesTypes(hero))
