Please excuse me, but it's not necessary to create a separate thread for every minor issue. Just open MapProperties, and you'll find everything there: Name, Description, and so on. It's best if you don't add an image when loading the map for now; it will be too complicated for you.

How do I disable the "Astral Gate" spell on a map? I need this urgently.

Open the MapPropretiesTree, find the SpellIDs line, and uncheck the box next to the unnecessary spells.

Here's what it looks like; it doesn't have any tabs.

Never mind, I found it. Thank you so much! I was just looking at the wrong thing.

I chose, for example, Town, placed it, and how do I switch back to the arrow? Otherwise, the next Town appears, but I just want to move around with the arrow.

There are two options here (choose the one that suits you): either switch the cursor to another tab, or just press the "esc" key. :)

Guys, please help! How do I make it so that there are troops in the Garrison (Rampart) belonging to Player1, but Player1 cannot remove them with a hero? :eek:

What kind of heroes are you talking about? :D

It's simple with garrisons - open its properties (press the spacebar, if I'm not mistaken) and set the desired setting there. ;)

How do you make it so that when playing in Multiplayer, all heroes have the Portal spell learned at the beginning of the game?

well, you can use scripts, but it's not certain that they will work correctly in multiplayer; or you can scatter scrolls around...

Orcs won't get the spell. You can lower the level to 1, or better yet, set the spell as learned for each hero in the editor.

Thanks for the answer. Yes, I know about the scroll; it would be better if it appeared immediately (((

How in the editor? You just choose a random reaction when creating the game and the hero, and I need it so that this spell is already available for everyone.

You create a map, place all the heroes, go to Shared, and add a spell to each hero there. Save the map and put it in the maps folder. This map will be a mod for other maps. Now, in each map, the starting heroes (to whom you added the spell) will have a portal to the city. But it's tedious, but simple.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. But it's better to just throw in a scroll.))))

Are you going to throw a scroll for each map and each hero?

You can also extract all the hero files from the data, find the desired line, open NOTEPAD++, and after a certain line, replace it in all files with the old line + the spell line. Then you combine the files into a mod. It takes a maximum of 15 minutes. But you need to know the name and the formatting.

Will you be casting a scroll for each map and each hero?
Offtopic

No, I only need it for one map! We just need a one-way portal so that the opponent cannot easily reach your city. That's why we need a portal! Offtopic What is that, or am I stupid? Please explain!!

Hello everyone! Please tell me what needs to be done so that in Multiplayer mode, the task is not to kill everyone, but, for example, to collect a collection of certain artifacts? Does this require scripts or something else? Thanks in advance.

Or you can briefly write what and how... I think I just need an example! Or send me a map if you have one, and if it's not difficult, show me where such types of quests are located
