I don't know, maybe this will help - I vaguely remember that the tiles are calculated in height as 2/3 of the regular horizontal tiles. Check this information.

Does anyone know why ogo writes in his scripting guide like this:
function kamillaf()
MessageBox...
end;
Trigger...
because if you skip even one line, the command won't work. I wasted a lot of time on this with my first script!!

I don't understand... Any script with missing lines won't work as it should.

Hello to all forum visitors!
I haven't been here for a while, and I have some questions. If possible, please answer if you know the answer to my question!
For example, when a hero levels up from level 1 to level 2, they are given 4 skills to choose from. Here's the question:
Is it possible to choose other skills besides those 4?
For example, luck, even though it's not among them? :smile45: :smile45: :smile45:
Thank you for your answers and attention! I'm looking forward to your response!

Strange question. Of course not, unless the map itself contains a script that determines which skills are granted.

Hello again!!!!
Ment, can you create such a script? I just want to create a map where there are specific skills and abilities. If you know how, please write the scripts and explain in detail where to insert the script, because I haven't created maps for a long time and have already forgotten what and how.
So, if questions repeat, please excuse me in advance.

And another question: for example, to pass through the gates of a neutral or enemy army, you can set in the map editor no more than 999 creatures in a squad, and there are 7 squads. Is it possible to make it so that there are 2000 creatures in one squad? And a total of 14000 creatures?
If possible, how? Although I know it can be done with SCRIPTS!!! Please write such a script for me and explain where to insert it!!! Thank you for your attention and answers!!!!

Is it possible to somehow make it so that one squad has 2000 creatures???? And all the creatures together are 14000???
If possible, then how? Although I know it can be done with scripts!!! Please write such a script for me and explain where to insert it!!! Thank you for your attention and answers!!!!
Regarding skills, there are two functions: HasHeroSkill(hero name, skill ID) and GiveHeroSkill, as well as a trigger for leveling up (HERO_LEVELUP_TRIGGER). That is, if you are not lazy, you can create this trigger, use it to track whether the hero has leveled up, check what he took when leveling up, remove this skill from him, and replace it with the one you need. Although, I think it's unlikely to be worth it.
I will move the topic; it doesn't belong here.

1) For example, you can change the experience required for each level to an impossible value (e.g., 100000000 for level 1, 200000000 for level 2, etc.), and "increase" the level only through scripts,
There are two functions for skills: HasHeroSkill(hero name, skill ID) and GiveHeroSkill, as well as a trigger for leveling up (HERO_LEVELUP_TRIGGER).
2) Almost everything can also be implemented with a mod. You need to change the skill tree file, setting the linear sequence you specified. Place this file in the existing path in the map.
The only problem that may arise here is with obtaining skills (like light magic, dark magic, etc.), but by changing the initial requirements and making the threshold more flexible, you can achieve an acceptable result.
3) There is another option: replace the skill and ability icons with something unknown, and act according to Ment's scheme. This way, when a skill is increased, we won't even see the extra one, and we won't see the one we took either :smile04:
You can create this trigger, use it to track whether the hero has leveled up, check what he took when he leveled up, remove that skill from him, and replace it with the one you need. However, I don't think it's worth it.
4) This is already a complete perversion:
During or before the level up, pass the turn to the computer, it will choose the skill, and then return the hero to us, and then follow Ment's scheme. I don't know if it will work at all, but it's a cool idea)
But there will be a lot of trouble...:smile16:

2) Also, all of this can be almost implemented with a mod. You need to modify the skill upgrade file, setting a linear sequence as intended. Then, place this file in the existing path within the map.

I can't quite imagine how a mod could help here. With a mod, you can change the probability of certain skills appearing for a specific hero class, but this probability doesn't depend on the hero's level.
That is, "arrows in the wheel." If you cut off all other paths, then this will be the only one! For example, you take Fire Lord, and after that, only Pyromancy is available, because the others are cut off or already depend on Pyromancy, and nothing else can be offered.
And it's changed not in the HeroClass.xdb file, but in the Skills.xdb file in the same folder.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, that's an interesting option.

Good day. This question might have been asked before, but I can’t browse through all ~50 pages of this forum right now, so I’ll ask anyway. Is it possible in the map editor to create water other than using: Tiles-Terraforming-Water or Tiles-.Rivers? I mean water like in the map editor for Heroes 3, the kind that is created by changing the terrain, and looks like a dug-out channel (it’s not very impressive). If it’s possible to create water in another way (increase the depth, use a different tool in the editor), please let me know and explain how. Thank you in advance; I want to start making maps as soon as possible. If my question is inappropriate here, please provide a link to a topic where I can ask it.

That's very strange, because I'm comparing this water to the water I saw in one of the campaigns. That water is just water; it looks like a normal body of water, but this water looks like a dug-out channel (you can see the ground beneath it; I can even build a road along its bottom). Is this all that can be achieved in the editor?
