I'm writing in the simplest language possible.
I create a region named qaz.
I write this:
function qaz (heroname)
if heroname == "Metlirn" then
CreateArtifact(54, 54, 20, 10, 0);
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "qaz", nil);
end;
It gives an "undefined qaz" error. How do I assign the region to it?

So, before turning off the trigger, you probably need to turn it on, and indeed, you're missing an "end".
Add this to the end of your script:


end
Trigger(6,'qaz','qaz')

I'm saying it again: you place an object in the Dungeon, for example, a column. For it, select "Shared" and scroll down to choose the object "downbridge" (there are several of them). It will help!

Here's how it works. I spent a long time looking for how to do this. It seems like you can unlock them somehow.

Here's a small mod; copy it to the Editor folder, replacing the existing files. Version 3.0 or higher is required. It unlocks all objects that can be found in "Shared" (or almost all of them).

Perhaps you need to enable the trigger before turning it off. And indeed, the "end" command is missing.
Add this to the end of your script:
end
Trigger(6,'qaz','qaz')

If it's not too much trouble, could you describe what should happen and in what order? I've read several manuals, but even a step-by-step example, copied exactly, with the same text output, doesn't work at all. In one, they say one thing follows another, in another, the structure is different, and in a third, they even say to use a different text encoding. I saved the script, clicked "save map," and it froze. I saved it using "save as," and it worked, which is strange. I wish I could find at least one script that works, and then I could build on that. Some advisors say to start triggers with "nil," which is just confusing. I'll try opening the console now; without it, loading the game is just a matter of luck.

This is all fun and games, but adding the "magic strings" to the specified, and not just the config files, didn't open the console, no matter where I copied them. The manuals from Nival are quite amusing...

1) The way to open the console in Tribes of the East has changed significantly – I recommend searching in the topics of this forum; there was a detailed instruction somewhere. The old, simple method no longer works.
2)
Trigger(6,'qaz','qaz') - activates a trigger with the name 6 (REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER) on the map. You need to write this command simply at the beginning of your script (not inside a function).
==
Trigger(6,'qaz',nil) - resets the trigger (after this command, it will no longer work). You need to write it inside your function when you want the specified region to stop working (calling the function).
==
function qazF (heroname)
if heroname == "Metlirn" then
CreateArtifact(54, 54, 20, 10, 0);
Trigger( REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "qaz", nil );
end;
end;
Trigger( REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "qaz", ''qazF'' );
==
This should work.
And also - check if the region name matches what you created in the editor.

it didn't work, I'm creating a region http://upwww.ru/files/35dd55795cfab715e67efcd385e5f8aa/1625c7d6257d0bfd8179ef5224864932/1.jpg I'm writing the script from above http://upwww.ru/files/17ec2203baa555959630c24759f09afc/86de6a9ff323f61500f8188fe0e91f63/2.jpg the result in the console http://upwww.ru/files/3456b1fbc88e561d40645079a8de24a3/293d736c1212c7c34e3bb276fb6f27e4/3.jpg
when I click to check the script in the editor, the do while loop runs infinitely, causing a freeze.

Almost everything is correct. You just need to write qazF in quotes or single quotes in the script, but not in double quotes:
'qazF' or "qazF", and not ''qazF''.

In Tribes of the East, the console is opened in the same way.
In the profiles folder, there is a file called autoexec_2. Add the following line to the end of the file:
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes, on a separate line.
Then go to
C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V — Tribes of the East\Profiles\YourProfile
There you will find the file input_a2.
In the //console section, add the following line to the end, on a separate line:
bind show_console '`'

And it will work.

Hello everyone! I have a problem: I created one task, for example, "Capture a town within 7 days." How do I create a second main task? (The hero must survive).

Similarly, add a new item to the quest menu, assign it the type OBJECTIVE_KIND_HERO_MUSR_SURVIVE, and specify the script name of the hero as the parameter (Parameters, Add).
----
To clarify: Go to MapPropretiesTree, find the string objectives->primary->playerSpecific->0->objectives. There should be one item (0) inside, which corresponds to the quest of capturing a city in 7 days (if you have changed anything there, otherwise it will simply be the "Kill-em all" quest, but that's not the main point). Add a new item there, specifically, right-click on objectives (on this objectives: "objectives->primary->playerSpecific->0->objectives"), and select Add. Then, enter the quest name (Caption), description (Description), type (Kind, I specified which one), and parameter (Parameters, right-click, Add) – the script name of the hero. You can find it by selecting the hero, pressing the spacebar, and going to the Settings tab; it will be written there as "Script name." Good luck!

Oh, that was a mistake on my part, sorry. My keyboard is acting up, and the quotes aren't working properly, so I put '' =)

I'll try to figure it out later, why does the AI start thinking for about 15 seconds before each turn? And why does it start lagging when it finds the "Tomb of the Warrior" and just stands there, doing nothing for several turns.

Hmm, there's something on the map. Maybe the Necropolis has been prioritized, so it's being targeted. Or maybe it's just out of desperation.

Does anyone know where I can find the models of the Haven dwellings that appear in some of the videos? I couldn't find them in the editor...

Hello everyone. I still can't figure out the tasks, that is, how to complete them. One person even explained step-by-step how to complete the second main task, and here's what I got: In the game, some tasks have appeared, but the names and descriptions of these tasks are missing. Also, I wanted to create one task, but there are two in the game. Here are the links to the images: http://vk.com/idprototype66?z=photo100458859_298189394%2Fphotos100458859 http://vk.com/idprototype66?z=photo100458859_298189393%2Fphotos100458859

They should be in Shared; look more carefully.

1) Create text files that will contain the names and descriptions of the quests and upload them to the appropriate windows: ObjectiveCaptionFileRef (name) and ObjectiveDescriptionFileRef (description). It's best to create the files using an editor.
2) In the Common section, the editor has automatically set the task to kill everyone. Go to Common, then Primary, and under number 0 is that very quest.
