And another question: according to the scenario, the hero encounters another hero (neutral), and the latter offers to join him. If the main hero doesn't agree, a battle begins, but if he agrees...: the red player is transferred to the player - and then, for some reason, a battle still starts. Moreover, you control both your hero and the newly joined one.
Since the event, as I understand it, is triggered upon detection, it executes at the moment the heroes come close. If they are hostile, a battle should occur. Whatever is done in the scripts, the game doesn't care anymore; it will still lose the battle. It's better to set up a local event and display the offer to join on it.

Question - is there any kind of "anti-bomb" that, when a quest is completed, causes an object to appear, or triggers a corresponding event?

Please tell me how to make it so that only one specific player can be selected at the beginning of the game. Currently, at the start of the game, it's possible to check all the players (change from computer to human), but I don't need that.

There isn't one; you'll have to resort to tricks.

Properties - Player Setup - select the color and uncheck the "controlled by human" box.

And what other tricks can be used, for example? I covered the desired object with mountains; are there any other options?

Well, here's +1. You can place a pyramid; it all depends on what object and where you want to hide it.

I tried to enrich the map with landscape details, and now it says the file is corrupted when selecting a scenario in the game. Can you suggest what might be causing this?

Alternatively, you could place an object from Equilibris on the map and open it in the Whirlpools.

I think that’s the issue, thanks.

Hello to all mapmakers!
Please tell me, if anyone knows, what the problem might be.
Here's the situation: oracles should show the location on the map where the hero activates a local event. I placed a cross there, but in the game, during gameplay, the oracles showed a completely different location. What could be the reason for this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

P.S.: Someone here mentioned that by digging around in the editor settings, you can find additional unfinished, useless objects. Could you please provide more details on where to find them? And in general, is there a mod available online that adds more objects to the editor? I have "Whirlwinds" installed, but not "Equilibrist."

Check if the oracle and the cross on the map have the same color.
PS: Someone here mentioned that if you dig around in the editor settings, you can find additional unfinished, useless objects. Could you please provide more details on where to find them?

Tools - Settings - Groups tab - create a new one, and a list of all objects will appear; then, just search.

2 General ZeT: Thank you for your reply. The cross is still the same color as the Oracles. It seems to be some kind of bug in the game... We'll try to implement the same idea in some other way.
