Posts from Scripts

Can anyone tell me what script is needed so that when you create any hero without a town, this hero doesn't lose after a week because they haven't captured a town for themselves? With respect, and thank you in advance.

No script is needed. This can be disabled directly in the editor.
In the properties tree. The manual will tell you where to find it. If not, I'll be home and maybe I'll post a screenshot.

Is it possible to use scripts to limit the number of unit upgrades available in a town to only one, instead of two?

I have another question: how do I create a quest to "capture a specific town within a specified time (e.g., 2 weeks)"? If possible, please provide an example of such a script. Thank you in advance.

This is also not done through scripts, but through the map's property tree. How to do this is described in the manual, for example, in this one: http://www.heroesworld.ru/files/data/409/465/Heroes5_Manual_ru.zip

It's probably easier to do it through the editor, but it can also be done through scripts. And to be able to do it through scripts, you need to at least understand the basics and do something simple. There are manuals available. There is also a journal: "Heroes' Herald".

Here is such a journal. In the latest issues, it describes how to create a simple quest, etc.

I can handle simple tasks myself; I wanted to try something a bit more challenging, but I guess it's still too early. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind.

Well, that's not complicated either. But, I repeat, it's easier to do through the editor. In the Manual, the link to which was provided in the previous post, it's not difficult to understand.
In short, if using scripts, since the topic allows:
- You enable a task based on a specific event and store the day in a variable;
- On the event-trigger for a new day after the specified period, you set the task to fail and the necessary condition you want;
- On the trigger for changing the ownership of an object, you set the code to execute the task.
Nothing complicated.

Thank you for your answer, and I have another question for you. Is it possible to create a task like "kill all monsters of a specific race on the map"?

It's possible, but it's not that simple anymore. In short:
- We disable the weekly spawn days for creatures;
- We add objects from the entire map to an array, with our conditions (in this case, all creatures of the same race);
- After each battle, we create a new array for the entire map, and if there are no creatures of a certain type left, we mark the task as completed.

Although the algorithm is very simple, implementing the above is not that easy. It's not a given that it will work.
Of course, there might be an easier way, but this is what came to my mind for scripts.

a few minutes later...

Here's a simpler option :), but it's more cumbersome and not universal:
Pre-place all non-random monsters on the map, disable the weekly monster spawn, give monsters of a certain race names, after each battle, check if each object exists on the map, and if none are left, the condition is met.
