Well, if you look at the DialogBox code, you can assume that the problem is with the use of GetCurrentPlayer there. TalkBox expects the first argument to be not the player number, but its filter. For the 1st and 2nd player, the filter is equal to the number, but not for 3+. Therefore, it probably only works for the first two players. If the problem is this, then the solution would be to wrap the first argument of DialogBox - GetPlayerFilter(GetCurrentPlayer())

I tried swapping object 1 with object 3, but I left the code the same.

It was like this:
first player = object "1"
second player = object "2", and so on.
The 3rd player and the 3rd object, and so on up to 8, didn't work

Now it's like this:
the first player touches object "3" and everything works.
the third player touches object "1" and doesn't work.

This means the code is correct and works for all 8 functions.

It seems the problem is with the player number - it works for 2 players, but not for 6.
I'll have to abandon the cool idea of a bonus that the player can choose (((

I added the filter retrieval, everything works now, thank you.

For all functions that are named ...BoxForPlayers, the argument for the player ID works strangely. Player 1 = 1, Player 2 = 2, Player 3 = 4, Player 4 = 8, Player 5 = 16, Player 6 = 32, Player 7 = 64, Player 8 = 128. I'm not sure about the last two; I only checked for 6 players.

Good evening, I wanted to give a hero mana through a script, like with the "Secret Advantage" skill, so that it ignores the hero's maximum mana. I tried using ChangeHeroStat(), but it didn't work. The funny thing is that when I just started working on the map, I actually managed to ignore the maximum mana, but I needed it to go up to the maximum, and now it's the other way around, and I can't remember how I did it. I found an answer on the forum on how to give a hero mana up to 300 using ChangeHeroStat(), but as I wrote above, it didn't work.

Possible solution: temporarily add Knowledge to the hero, and after increasing the amount of mana, return the Knowledge to its previous value. Example:

ChangeHeroStat("Deleb", STAT_KNOWLEDGE, 10)
ChangeHeroStat("Deleb", STAT_MANA_POINTS, 100)
ChangeHeroStat("Deleb", STAT_KNOWLEDGE, -10)

I quickly checked it through the console. Yes, it works, the mana remains above the maximum value. For now, this is how it's done; perhaps someone knows how to do it with a single command.

Good afternoon, I have a simple task: to create a script in the map editor that, for example, when a neutral creature is killed, any hero who does it receives X experience.

But I can't seem to implement it. What's the error here?

GetPlayerHeroes(0);
SetGameVar(whotoup, 0);
whotoup = GetPlayerHeroes(0);
ChangeHeroStat(whotoup[0], 0, 999999999)

Two silly questions right away)

How do I give a unit this name?

Where should I add this script? To this unit? If so, is it a script or a combat script?

I see, and is this trick compatible with the heroes5.5 mod? Because it has its own scripts too.
