Posts from Scripts

"It seemed to work fine for me." Here, it's hard to say; the problem could have been in the previous part of the script. In general, there were more than enough bugs related to the script on this map. As confirmation that the `if` statement can be completed in the middle of the script, here's a snippet from the script of that same map: ``` function Urgashs_help() if flag == 1 then if GetDate(DAY) == 2 then AddObjectCreatures('Oddrema', CREATURE_DEVIL, 3) elseif GetDate(DAY) == 3 then AddObjectCreatures('Oddrema', 18 , 250) end; elseif GetDate(DAY) == 4 then AddObjectCreatures('Oddrema', 22, 150) AddObjectCreatures('Maeve', 2, 300) AddObjectCreatures('Maeve', 4, 150) AddObjectCreatures('Maeve', 6, 100) AddObjectCreatures('Maeve',8, 50) AddObjectCreatures('Maeve',110, 25) AddObjectCreatures('Maeve',12, 25) AddObjectCreatures('Maeve',13, 25) end; end; Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER, 'Urgashs_help') ``` GnomKRAG Could you please explain what you meant? Sincerely.

Well, I don't know what you guys are talking about, but you need AddObjectCreatures for creatures and AddHeroCreatures for heroes. It's not difficult to do all the other manipulations with the army, if only I knew what exactly needs to be done. ;)
GnomKRAG, how do you make creatures attack? :confused: (or maybe make the hero attack them?)

"AddObjectCreatures is needed for objects, and AddHeroCreatures is needed for heroes."
The first one is definitely universal; I don't know about the second one, I haven't tried it.
Sincerely.

The first one is definitely versatile; I don't know about the second one, I haven't tried it.

In principle, the hero works well as an object, so both functions are suitable for them.

djulian13 JonnyP I meant, for example, a peasant standing next to a haystack and attacking it, or hitting a harnessed centaur, as in a campaign.

PlayObjectAnimation(ObjectName, animName, action), where
ObjectName is the name of the monster, animName is the desired animation, and action specifies the repetition (play once, repeat cyclically, etc.). Constants and further explanations can be found in the manual (Game folder/Editor Documentation/HOMM5_A2_Script_Functions), page 38.

PlayObjectAnimation (peasant's name, "attack00", IDLE);

Thank you, I understand, but how do I configure the loop, and what should I enter there?

INVISIBLE – (special) the object becomes invisible
The object becomes invisible.
IDLE – the animation is played cyclically, until it is replaced by another animation
It plays until it is replaced by another animation.
ONESHOT_STILL – the animation is played once, and after it is finished, the object remains in the
posture it took in the last frame of the animation
Plays once and freezes in the last pose of the animation.
ONESHOT – the animation is played once, and after it the object’s standard idle animation is
started
Plays once and freezes in the initial position.
NON_ESSENTIAL – same as ONESHOT, but the animation is only played in case if the object is
not ‘busy’, which means that nothing plays on it except the IDLE animation.
I don't know. Literally:
Same as the previous one, but the animation plays if the object is "not busy," which means that no animation is playing on it except the cyclical one.

Good afternoon!
The question is: what are the IDs for summoning the Hive and the Staff of the Underworld? Regarding the staff, I saw one, but I'm not sure, and there's nothing about the Hive in the manual. Wasp Swarm is the Hive; it can be obtained without using scripts, but for some reason, there's no mention of the Hive itself.
Sincerely.

283 (summon hive) -- SPELL_SUMMON_HIVE
It is mentioned in the manual.

Hmm... I guess I wasn't looking in the right place. Thank you! Best regards.

for future use, the editor allows you to immediately identify the constant of an item; for NPCs, go to the shared tab: type, because the developers named the constants differently from the names of the items themselves in the game, and some even mixed them up (example: "bag of infinite gold" has the constant name "sack of infinite gold", although these are completely different items).

Thank you, I will keep that in mind for the future.
Sincerely.

How do you customize units and change the properties of items?

The Object Properties button is located on the control panel. There, you will find a dialog box with points displayed in the background.
Sincerely.
