Posts from Current questions and answers regarding the map editor.

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

Ugh, screenshots are tricky. Let's try explaining it in simpler terms. You select your hero with a left-click, then go to the left panel (ObjectPropertiesTree) -> Shared -> Character. In the list that appears, select the desired character (this will be both the model and the animation at the same time). You might need to go a bit further, specifically to Animation, and add additional animations to the right list; the main one should be "cast." But you'll need to clarify this based on which specific model you're using.

This requires heroes from version 3.1
TalkBoxForPlayers "Opens a dialog with multiple answer options (from 1 to 5) for selected players (playersFilter).
The function does not display error messages because if the parameters are incorrect, default values are used."
playersFilter PlayersFilteringConstantsID Identifier of the selected players
iconRef Reference to the icon texture
iconTooltipRef Path to the icon tooltip text
textRef Path to the dialog text
addTextRef Path to the dialog text (additional)
callback String with the name of the Lua function, through whose first parameter the player's answer is communicated (number: 0 - cancel, -1 - closed by the game, 1.. - the number of the answer selected by the player)
mode Type of mode: 0 - with an OK button, 1 - OK/Close
titleTextRef Path to the window title text
selectTextRef Path to the title text before the selection options
defaultOption Number of the answer that is highlighted by default (number: 0 - none, 1.. - the number of the answer)
optionTextRef Path to the text of answer #1
[optionTextRef] Path to the text of answer #...

Here is an example:
a1=(GetMapDataPath().."a1.txt");

a2=(GetMapDataPath().."a2.txt");

a3=(GetMapDataPath().."a3.txt");

a4=(GetMapDataPath().."a4.txt");

TalkBoxForPlayers (PLAYER_1, "/Textures/Icons/Heroes/Academy/Academy_Razzak_128x128.(Texture).xdb#xpointer(/Texture)", "", GetMapDataPath().."v.txt", "", "func", 0, GetMapDataPath().."v.txt", "", 0, a1, a2, a3, a4)

Thanks for the advice, but I probably won't need it right now, as I'm making maps for version 3.0. If I ever use version 3.1, I'll definitely try it out.

I have a couple more questions.

First, when a hero touches a specific object that gives him a skill, no animation (like "you have gained the Logistics skill") appears. The skill is added, but no information about it is displayed to the player. Is there a way to fix this?
Second, is it possible to add some kind of anti-cheat to the map? Of course, you can write a lot of things in the scripts to ban a player for cheating in certain situations, but is there an easier way to do this?

Does anyone know how to add custom sound effects to the game?

You need to create a new Sound element and, in the SrcName field, specify the name of the WAV file for the sound, which should be located in the Complete folder. Then, export it.
